'I was wrong about cannabis:' Former Irish-American police chief on his 'Breaking Bad' conversion

Like the fictional science teacher Walter White, Darren White once led a life diametrically opposite to the one he now leads.

Former drug tsar and sheriff, Darren White transformed from a strictly anti-drugs law enforcer to one of New Mexico’s first legal cannabis producers.

The Irish American not only shares a surname with Walter White, the drug-producing anti-hero of hit TV show Breaking Bad, he also lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the show is set. And his office is directly next to where the show’s amoral lawyer’s practice was based and where spin-off show Better Call Saul is still filmed.
