Link in Bio 📎 On Feb. 1, the official X account of The Drug Enforcement Administration (deahq) posted a photo of former President Richard #Nixon and a caption meant to celebrate the legacy of the War on Drugs, but the comment section didn’t go as planned. Making things worse, the #DEA posted it on the first day of Black History Month, which is especially ironic given that MJ laws were unfairly enforced mostly on Black and brown Americans. Nixon’s own administration now admits that the War on Drugs—particularly the war on herb—was intentionally used as a weapon to target Black Americans and anti-Vietnam War demonstrators. ━━━━ For a closer look + Twitter responses, head to HighTimes.com | bybenjaminadams
