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.

The war on drugs has always been about controlling the poors and justifying expanding police budgets while social programs and schos get cut down.

Rob Ford was a literal Crack fiend that had protection at a high level. The police damn well knew what was going on, but how many of the people who enabled this were ever punished?

If you’re a part of the ruling class then designer drugs are part and parcel but for poor people even just buying becomes incredibly risky as the market isint properly regulated.

Must be why weed is legalized and most drugs have been decriminalized (in many provinces) in personal consumption quantities then.

Are you confused?

This is what great grandparent post said and you response indicated this was strongly doubted by you.

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!
