@adamkadir3803 he was in charge of busting ppl for bootlegging during prohibition, after prohibition he was hungry for that power back, and decided to make a campaign against cannabis, he had false stories printed about blacks smoking pot and raping white girls to scare people into following him, he got the marihuana tax act passed and effectively started the war on drugs through racism edit: he was also quoted as saying cannabis was not harmful before he started his nonsense campaign
