Because niggers.
In the 1960s, residents of black neighborhoods felt constantly under threat from addicts and others associated with the drug trade, and their calls for increased safety measures resonated at community meetings, in the pages of black newspapers like 'The Amsterdam News,' and in churches.
Reverend George McMurray was lead pastor at the Mother A.M.E. Zion Church in Harlem in the 1970s when the city faced a major heroin epidemic. He wanted convicted drug dealers to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
"When you send a few men to prison for life, someone's going to pass the word down, 'It's not too good over here,'" McMurray said. "So instead of robbery and selling dope, [they'll think] ‘I want to go to school and live a good life...’"
Black support for the drug war didn't just grow in New York. At the federal level, members of the newly-formed Congressional Black Caucus met with President Richard Nixon, urging him to ramp up the drug war as fast as possible.
Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 passes Congress, enacting far tougher Federal mandatory minimum sentencing laws for drug offenders, including those caught with marijuana. Establishes a 100-to-1 disparity in punishments for crack cocaine compared with powder form of drug. The measure is supported by the Congressional Black Caucus, though some members want even harsher penalties for drug crimes. Sixteen of nineteen African American members of the House — including Texas Rep. Mickey Leland and California Rep. Ron Dellums — co-sponsored the bill.
Charlie Rangel built his congressional career riding the “tough on crime” bandwagon of the 1980s. In a 1989 feature article, Ebony titled Rangel “The Front-Line General” of the war. Rangel even accused President Reagan of being soft on drugs.

It was in the news that Gloucester Ma changed it's policy about busting heroin addicts. I don't really remember the details but I'm sure a search engine would find it.
What gets me is there's no doubt that we're dealing with the increased heroin because of our occupation of heroin. And this has been going on for some time. There's a book called The Politics of Heroin about USA and CIA and dope.

desu all drugs should be legalized in the long run.
decriminalization is fine as a stepping stone.
I'd rather have people shooting up pure H from the pharmacy and still functioning in society instead of tax payers money taking care of them.
also: states will have to legalize since debt is increasing and they want that sweet drug money
