That program was started at around the same time that the US government flooded the country with Crack Cocaine to fund their illegal wars in Central America

If any one is wondering .... you should look up the story of Gary Webb

EDIT: .... and if anyone is paying attention ... the story that Webb uncovered basically ruined his life because the government hounded him like a dog until he lost everything. Even then, he still kept fighting, resisting and writing about all the terrible things the government was doing.

Then at the height of all the news about all this ... he died by suicide ... from two gunshot wounds to the head! ... and people tell me to stop believing in conspiracy theories. How the hell do you shoot yourself in the head twice to kill yourself.

A simplified retelling of this story is in the film 'Kill the Messenger' (2014) which stars Jeremy Renner
