"Cannabis, cocaine and heroin have interesting life stories and long rap
sheets. We might know them today as illicit drugs, but each was once legal.

Then things changed. Racism and politics played a part in how we viewed them.
We also learned more about their impact on health. Over time, they were
declared illegal.

But decades later, these drugs and their derivatives are being used legally,
for medical purposes.

Here’s how we ended up outlawing cannabis, cocaine and heroin, and what
happened next."
