#46 - LOP Chronicles; War On Drugs - Fuck Harry Anslinger - a podcast by Caldwell

This is the last episode of the LOP Chronicles...Bobby gets the shackles and chains cut off today! This episode was particularly informative as Bobby & the Cpt talk about the failed, 100 year old, war on drugs in our country. It didn't start with the 'Just Say No' policy of the Reagan administration, it started long before that. We hear how a man by the name of Harry J Anslinger made it a personal goal to attack Billy Holiday for her drug addiction, as well as lying and manipulating data in order to seek political changes which affected minorities. Hell, these same policies are still in effect today! It's why we are working hard for real prison reform.
