Episode notes
The War on Drugs promised to curb cannabis use, especially among teens. But the numbers told a different story. National surveys showed use actually dropped, perceptions of risk climbed, and availability barely budged—even as arrests soared and legalization support lagged. This episode breaks down the data behind the panic and why the evidence didn’t match the rhetoric.
