I worked on the McGovern campaign in 1972, when Nixon ordered "Operation Intercept" to stand down, and the Mexican border opened wide – flooding the campuses with cheap and plentiful pot. As I traveled the country visiting dozens of colleges in key states (to try to fire-up get-out-the-vote efforts) the story was the same: regular dems boycotting their own candidate, and students too stoned to even wonder why the pot was so cheap and plentiful. He and his thugs were such amoral Machiavellian crooks.
