Richard Nixon war on drugs policy.. a policy mind you.... that is highly unethical....
The "war on drugs" goes as far back as J Edgar Hoover. Once the untouchables and the repeal of prohibition broke the back of the likes of Capone, Edgar was casting around for a new demon to protect his FBIs funding stream, and hit upon cannabis as a solution, renaming it marijuana and imputing whole hordes of demonic Mexucans were importing the drugs to sully and corrupt the pure and honest WASP population of the US. Everything after that was a continuation of what Hoover started.
