Episode notes

We continue the history of drugs in society. This takes a look at the beginning of criminalization to most drugs in North America spanning the time from the late 1800's to the 1960's. Particular attention is paid to Harry Anslinger and his work within the bureaucracy of the American government and the transition he concocted from alcohol prohibition to the next mania (which I'm sure you can guess). There are quotes in this episode that contain derogatory terms for ethnic minorities, viewer discretion is advised.
