"We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities" - John Ehrlichman, Nixon advisor
"Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Its almost like the drug #prohibition is causing the problems...

oh wait, the #prisonIndustry don't want us to talk about the end of the #WaronDrugs.
