When Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, the federal government escalated its war on cannabis to unprecedented levels. Despite offering no evidence, Reagan claimed that smoking a single joint caused brain damage comparable to an H-bomb blast. His administration soon launched CAMP — the Campaign Against Marijuana Planting — sending helicopters over California’s Emerald Triangle and expanding eradication efforts nationwide. By 1985, all fifty states were part of the federal crackdown.
