I smoked pot and now I have a new isekai life with superpowers and a band of roaming catgirl assassins who enforce my will upon an otherwise cruel, dark, and corrupt world in an alternate dimension.
Just gonna drop this quote form a Nixon aide here:
“You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did”
The war on drugs was a war on blacks and anti-Vietnam activists.
I believe originally, it was used to incarcerate Latin Americans, hence the naming of “Marihuana” and later, “Marijuana” to make it sound more Spanish.
The classification of cannabis changed to incarnate more black people. It’s a historical fact and it’s sad that many people don’t know that.
Either you mean incarcerate, or else it is one hell of a gateway

This could happen to you.
…yes please!
Yeah, sorry. I’m tired and English isn’t my mother tongue.
I didn’t mean anything by it, and assumed it was autocorrect. I was just amused by the visual of it in my head.
