The War on Drugs

It's immensely tragic to think what the repercussions of this have been and it continues to this day. Even the way that the prison system has trickled down with certain drugs being legalized but people being put away for you know smaller drug crimes, it's a very layered issue. Journalists are routinely complicit in the war on drugs. It doesn't matter whether the police officer was corrupt. It's not something that people should be going to prison for. There's no acceptable way to allow the incarceration of people as a like a valid strategy for either drug control or drug harm reduction or anything. The fact that people have to kind of go along with this makes sense.
