    Drugs are often illegal.

    Some legal substances like alcohol are “harder” drugs than many illegal ones like cannabis.

      Such laws have no sense when you actually think about it. Such illogical reasonings exist within all law sectors, it is an expertly crafted story made to indoctrinate. Drugs may be an example, but laws which silently encourage mysoginy, racism and ageism also exist, and must be brought to light.

        Thats the trick. They make laws about “safety” that actually target minorities.

        Cannabis ws used widly in medicine all the way up until the early 20th century. When they made cannabis illegal, it was mostly used by latino and “black” communities. Thats why they started calling it marijuana. It made it sound exotic and hispanic. Any “whites” that joined them were seen as less than and charged too, though to an often lesser extent. Since it was mostly effecting minorities, hippies, and “race traitors”, main stream america was fine with it.
