I hope history doesn't look at the war on drugs as having anything at all to do with drugs. It was all about having a way to lock up blacks and hippies for reasons that seemed legit on paper. Drugs were ancillary. Then of course it morphed into a for-profit industry and is the clusterfuck we have today.

Yup it started out as Richard Nixon's war on the counterculture, imagine if Steve Jobs had been taken out in the war on drugs we'd all be stuck using windows 10 at work instead of having nice macbook pros lol.
