Just in general, people on the whole are idiots about drug culture and history. Most people have no idea their drug scheduling system makes no sense, that they have a bunch of dumb cops (DEA) that came up with and maintain that system rather than actual medical experts, that there were racist and economic interests at the root of all this nonsense rather than genuine concern for their well-being, etc. Also the idea that you can use control of a drug as a proxy to control and disempower various marginalized demographics.
