Our policies in this country are killing people and it is time that we wake up to the reality behind these tactics.
Ever wondered about the true motivations behind the war on drugs? In this episode of 'High While Clean', host Eric McCoy dives deep into the controversial origins and political machinations that turned a public health issue into a national crisis. Tracing its roots back to the 1870s in California and its explosive escalation in the 1970s, McCoy unpacks how political agendas fueled a campaign that disproportionately targeted marginalized communities.
Young black males from inner-city areas bore the brunt, with small-time drug dealers facing severe penalties that swelled court caseloads and prison populations. McCoy's raw and engaging narrative sheds light on the role of private organizations in perpetuating this war and highlights the urgent need for comprehensive drug policy reform. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the real story behind the war on drugs and its lasting impact on individuals and communities.
