131: The US War on Drugs 1970-2020

from The Dr. Junkie Show · host Benjamin Boyce

This week I follow the trail of the US War on Drugs from 1970-2020. I cover Reagan's Iran-Contra scandal, the CIA's importation of cocaine into low income communities, Freeway Ricky, crack-versus-powder sentencing disparities, fentanyl, xylazine, and the role of media in all of it.You can find links to citations in the episode descriptions of sampled audio.
