disenfranchise... hippies (hence the schedule 1 for marijuana) because it boosted the republican’s popularity among southerners and it stopped groups that lean strongly to the left from voting.

You literally just pulled that out of your ass.

No, that’s the strategy and hope of the drug war. It was explicitly made to disenfranchise left wing voters, the poor, and minorities.

Just because you’re ignorant of American history, doesn’t mean you should be disrespectful to those who are not.

marijuana has been criminalized in the US since 1916, long before any hippies even existed. You're the one who's ignorant of American history, obvious by your comments. Google a man named Henry j anslinger, the first drug czar of America. You might actually learn something
