History of the U.S. Drug War

History of the U.S. Drug War

The link below has one of the best, most concise and well written histories of the United States government's war on drugs. Most people today don't realize the racist, anti Hispanic excuses given to outlaw drugs or the economics of prohibition. I'll guarantee you this - if you read half of the following history you will no longer support the drug war. If you read it all you will become a crusader against this failed racist social policy.
