According to Matthew Briggs of the Drug Policy Alliance:
In 1995 he told listeners, "there's nothing good about drug use.
We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use
destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country
.... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought
to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."
Mr. Limbaugh went on to deny that African Americans are over-incarcerated
compared to whites as a result of the war on drugs. The answer to any such
disparity, he said, was to catch more white drug users, "convict them and
send them up the river, too."
