History Channel. "Hooked: Illegal drugs and how they got that way".
Basically, every drug that is illegal, is illegal because of racism.
Cocaine was outlawed because we didn't like the Blacks.
Opium was outlawed because we didn't like the Chinese.
Marijuana was outlawed because we didn't like the Mexicans.
Alcohol -- perhaps the only recreational drug that SHOULD be illegal -- is legal because it's what mainstream white society uses to get high.
Sad, but true.
