Hi friends, happy Thursday! Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Today, we are going to talk about how the media’s reporting on a basketball superstar’s overdose kicked President Regan’s War on Drugs into overdrive and led to incredibly harsh punishments for crack users vs. cocaine. Even though crack and cocaine are the same damn drug. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history. You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my Youtube for the visual side of things.
