The drug war was exported around the world by the United Nations using bribery and probably threats as well, if I understand correctly.
Was its purpose to protect the lucrative legal drug industry or to enhance profits for illegal drug cartels?
It certainly has nothing to do with health.
After all, alcohol and cigarettes kill far more people than any other drugs and yet they are legal in most countries. They may even come close to the amount of deaths caused by medical error, or medicine use in general.
Laws are always sold as being for the public's good, but this is rare, instead they are usually implemented to protect the economic interests of the rich and powerful.
I have also heard it said that the implementation of laws prohibiting the use of medicinal plants by traditional people is to attack their culture and is clearly racist in tone..
A G&T drunk by the leisure class is fine, but ganja smoked at the end of the day by workers is not.
Not to mention the banning of the use of all the visionary herbs, like ayahuasca and psilocybin mushrooms.
Heaven forbid people stick their head outside the matrix (of lies) for a while and get a different and broader perspective on things.
That could threaten the status quo that has led to untold amounts of wealth being concentrated in the hands of a few, while most of the world struggle to make ends meet.
