Not directly related, but the podcast On The Media recently did a great episode on the origins of the war on drugs. One thing I didn't know? The word "marijuana" was actively popularized during the early days of the war on drugs to make the plant feel like a foreign import, despite the fact that it grew wild throughout the states.
