It was more than the Church though the war on drugs that really took a heated turn during Nixons campaign put so much propaganda and false information out there that we are only now recovering from the lies, this is a quote for Nixons advisor "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying?" Ehrlichman told Baum. "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. 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." In America latest survays now show more than half the survey group thinks it should be decriminalized and taxed.
