I thought marijuana was legal pretty much everywhere now. They sell it in gas stations. Seems like the enforcement must be pretty selective. Violently arresting someone for something that is barely a crime does seem kind of sus.
president nixon intentionally made the "war on drugs" -- especially marijauna possession -- immensely worse as a gambit to silence people who were critical of the vietnam war and its draft since an overwhelming majority of it's users were liberal.
he admitted to this publicly back in the 1990's and decades later, his work is still in the books in most of the united states and still being used to ensure that the american prison population remains high to benefit the prison owners and justify police militarization.
the fact that most people don't know this fact is indicative of the epstein class' efforts at making westerners --americans in particular -- ignorant of the reasons why things are setup like they are.
the really confusing part to me is that people like noam chomsky has been telling people about this (although he didn't call it the epstein class at the time) and i would have expected liberals to be aware of it since chomsky is such a well known liberal.
