It&#x27;s not &quot;vaguely related&quot; - drug laws are, simply put, the current form of jim crow.<p>Drug laws were <i>made</i> for this purpose, and openly so.<p>And it&#x27;s ludicrous to say that &quot;if it wasn&#x27;t for drugs it&#x27;d be something else.&quot;  So then abolish all criminal laws which prohibit common, consensual, adult behavior.  But drug laws are the whale here, not anything else.
