Can I start calling police whenever I'm in Michigan to report someone eating pineapple pizza? It's not illegal and it's not like I hate them for eating it, I just personally don't like the taste and therefore they shouldn't be allowed to eat it.

That's how it goes now, right?

Well Nixon launched the war on drugs because, genius that he was, he noticed that a lot of people who used it were either from ethnic minorities or were left wing in their politics so by passing anti-drug legislation and enforcing it selectively he could effectively criminalise his political enemies, which included black people because he was one of those 'my skin is my uniform' kind of guys.
