The War on Drugs was never about drugs.
Absolutely agree. Adding to this the most naturally powerful and deadly drugs on earth grow in just about every field in most of the northern United States and in parts of northern Europe. Those other weeds are not and have never been illegal nor could they practically be made illegal as they are near impossible to get rid of. Singling out marijuana AFAIK was initially about stopping competition in the paper industry and the system never corrected itself when it started feeding the prison industrial complex and allowing cops to lock up specific groups of people they disliked and justifying bigger budgets and entirely new agencies to be created.
I do not have any good ideas for how to fix this. Maybe replace MJ with the more deadly stuff until the system implodes under its own weight whilst accepting the casualties? Henbane may be safer than eating tide pods.
