The Beatles have often been accused of stuffing drug references into their lyrics. Now, Russia’s chief expert in drug abuse has announced he is holding the Fab Four responsible for promoting drugs across the world back in the 1960s.

­“After The Beatles had gone to expand their conscious in Indian ashrams they succeeded in implementing this idea – to change one’s mental state with drugs – into people’s minds,” Evgeny Bryun told Interfax news agency.

Among The Beatles’ songs allegedly containing possible drug allusions is "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" written by John Lennon and recorded in 1967. Some maintain, the very title of the song could be a reference to the drug LSD, due to the initials taken from the song's title.

"Doctor Robert", co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, is allegedly awash with drug references. One of the most striking and obvious being that drug dealers are often called "doctors."

Some claimed that "Happiness is a Warm Gun" – another hit written by John Lennon – was a metaphor for a syringe loaded with heroin. "I need a fix, 'cuz I'm going down / Down to the bits I left uptown."

The Beatles like so many artists in the 1960's exposed the utter hyprocrasy of USA/UK's war on drugs especially that of the criminal then President Nixon who removed the Medical Community's authority on drugs and moved it to the utterly corruption Zionist directed DEA,ATF filling the pockets of the Jewish Mafia Dons.

Prior to America's prohibition of Alcohol, the Jewish Mafia was tiny clicks of Jewish criminals, nothing remotely able to purchase federal judges and politicans across USA,UK and the EU-Zone presently. The absurd law prohibiting USA Citizens to drink alcohol directly diverted hundreds of millions into the pockets of the Jewish and Italian Mafia leaders who in turn used some of those riches to buy mass numbers of police, governmental agents and judges along with politicans.

J ewish Mafia members relying on the West's leaded fuel poisoning and consequentual short term memory loss, deployed the same vast corruption under the guise of the USA War on 'Drugs' now resulting in the CIA/USA Military guarding the same Afghanistan Opium fields flooding America's schools with cheap Heroin and pouring Billions into the Jewish Mafia Don's in Tel Aviv, Israel's pockets.

I wonder what Michelle Obama thinks about her husband green lighting the massive Opium/Heroin CIA operation in Afghanistan destroying inner city growth and grade students across America beneath a huge tidal wave of Heroin instead of instructing the USA Military to eradicate all of Afghanistan's Opium fields.
