There's no reason to doubt that article. Obama's election win has sparked 'payback' hostility in some elements of society. The Reagan-era drug/drug money forfeiture laws were created as a punishing tool mostly aimed at minorities. It's no coincidence that, for decades, sentencing for cocaine possession was incredibly more harsh for crack than for powdered coke. Inner city drug users smoked the former, future presidents of the USA snorted the latter.
