Why is "minorities" in quotes?
Wealthy people have access to doctors to get prescribed speed, ludes, opiates, whatever they want.
It's specifically the targeting of minorities using criminalization of street drugs that led to modern media and academic misperception of "overpolicing" in minority areas for all crime.

But yes, it's well documented that the war has always been about targeting "others". It's bad enough that the laws exist, what is crazy-making is that a large portion of the population has been brainwashed into thinking they're a good thing.
