LINK The "War On Drugs" Turns 50 (What half a century of an epic fail policy has done to marginalized communities)
This is a crazy interesting article. It is long, but it's substance isn't anything I've previously read, all in one place.
From why the drug war was impossed to how the heart attack death of a Black professional basketball player was Clinton's inspiration for 20 year mandatory minimums to Biden's 1994 crime bill, through the media & big pharma opoiod propoganda and the monumental failures.
I am happy to see someone finally address that opioids are a "white person drug" which is why it's called "a health crisis" versus the crack epidemic of the late 80s/90s, which was deemed criminal as it effected people of color much more than Hunter Biden, I mean...white people. 
Sorry, couldn't help myself. 
Seriously, it's worth a speed read if nothing else.
