A German-language post addresses CDU leader Friedrich Merz, arguing that today's rightward political shift, marked by economic insecurity, migration debates and racism, echoes Harry Anslinger's media campaigns that framed cannabis as a threat. The writer uses the historical example as a warning about current fear-driven political messaging in Germany.
