        Must be why weed is legalized and most drugs have been decriminalized (in many provinces) in personal consumption quantities then. The war on drugs has ALWAYS been about entrapping the good people who are dependent or take in recreationally, and NEVER been about shutting down murderous organized crime networks. Never.

          You think it was police who helped push for legalization lol?

          You’re also having a laugh if you think it’s this black and white. Cops and politicians get high as shit too. They need their fixes as well.

          Drugs were criminalized in response to increased freedoms of black people. Make their drug of choice illegal, and now you’ve got free access to slaves again!
