If you look back, that determination to jail users started in the Nixon presidency.

That's very true, as it's come out since then that it was used to target hippies/black folks and leftist organizers. The war on drugs has always been a tool to punish detractors from the very beginning. It's never been about health or public safety, but politics instead.

I've quite a bit invested in the industry. MN, SD, MS, AZ, and NJ are a sigificant markets to open all at once. It's going to be a great year for farming facilities.

It was good for jailing jazz players in the 30's too.

Yup, jazz musicians, black people, mexicans and basically anyone else who fell under Hurst's or Anslinger's gaze.
