The DEA—socialized drug dealing since at least the 1980’s. Great.

Another leftist idea from Nixon.

I wonder if Bush Sr. was wrapped up in this.

Drain the swamp.

What if you found out it was Johnson who was responsible?

In my first Reorganization Plan of 1968, I call for the creation of a new and powerful Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
With this action, America will serve notice to the pusher and the peddler that their criminal acts must stop. Snip... Today, in my Message on Crime, I recommended strong new laws to control dangerous drugs. I also recommended an increase of more than thirty percent in the number of Federal agents enforcing the narcotic and dangerous drug laws.
I now propose that a single Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs be established in the Department of Justice to administer those laws and to bring to the American people the most efficient and effective Federal enforcement machinery we can devise. Isn't it funny how the things that we think we know to be true simply aren't.

Want to take a guess as to what the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs eventually became? (cough...cough...DEA)

Yes. I'm unsure to what degree though. I used to have stuff on this, but it's all from BBS's pre-internet.
