- mistermann 10y agoAfaik, countries are often required to (sometimes "unofficially") comply with a variety of US "customs" before various deals (trade, etc) will be signed. I completely believe that to control the world, you must control people's minds, and to control people's minds, you must control drugs.

The above should be enough to realize that that different nations made various drugs illegal without the US influence and without intention to oppress black panthers and communists.
