Governments have been weaponizing their opposition to drugs for decades. But according to Chomsky, it’s less about the drugs than it is about the politics.

“Now take a look at the way the Drug War has been conducted over the past 40 years. It goes back farther, but start from 40 years ago: There's very little spent on prevention and treatment. There's a lot on policing, a ton of stuff on border control and a lot on out-of-country operations. And the effect on the availability of drugs is almost undetectable; drug prices don't change on measures of availability. So there are two possibilities: Either those conducting the Drug War are lunatics, or they have another purpose.” – Noam Chomsky
