It is a clear case of class suppression of the worst possible kind disregarding especially the people and cultures of the htird world. Securing immense profits for a few very rich western capitalists by forcing the third world to prohibit cannabis , legalise alcohol and violently and ruthlessly enforcing a global trade monopoly for alcohol. Even allowing dictators like Duterte to illegally kill his own people and promoting the war on drugs to be used for political purposes by severely corrupt local elites in many third world countries. The case is very clear since when the SAME capitalists families for centuries made their money on selling many thousand tons of opiums in the SAME countries they forced these same countries to legalise the opiumtrade. For example China was forced to legalise opium by losing two wars against Britain (google "the opium wars"). Only after losing their asian colonies in the second world and thus theprofits from opium began France and Britain to seriously enforce the prohibition of the drugs of the third wolrd, like opium and cannabis. The SERIOUS problem with the prohibition and legalisation of cannabis is that the western elite is not charged for their crimes against the peoples of the third world. Including those that they commit today in especially the oil-rich countries
