“the ‘drug problem they deserved’ if they maintained inadequate policies.” Some policies may backfire. I read a book titled, The Botany of Desire that credited the Reagan Administration for the higher levels of THC in cannabis. When hippies started burning buildings, the U.S. government significantly curtailed the supply from Mexico. So people started going it themselves outdoors. In the ‘80s, Reagan’s war on drugs busted outdoor grow sites. People then began to grow inside under lights in a very controlled environment where plants could easily be tended. This created selective cross breeding and resulted in the very high levels of THC you find in marijuana today.

"...Hippies burning buildings?"
