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.
