Drugs are illegal for a reason

It just happens that the reason for most of them is "because it makes prisons a fuckton of money and disproportionately affects black people"

Ah, no

They are almost universally addictive, bad for health (often causing significant irreversible damage), and associated with elevated probability of antisocial behavior (not saying everyone has it, but it's a risk).

Prisons are an issue, especially in America, but that's absolutely not the whole story about drugs. Just about every country with a normal, non-commercialized and non-weaponized prison system has those laws too.

But some of the Americans seem to be completely unable to look elsewhere for any political experience.
