Author: aesopvision
Description: The War on Drugs has become the longest and most costly war in American history, the question has become, how much more can the country endure? Inspired by the death of four family members from "legal drugs" Texas filmmaker Kevin Booth sets out to discover why the Drug War has become such a big failure. Three and a half years in the making the film follows gang members, former DEA agents, CIA officers, narcotics officers, judges, politicians, prisoners and celebrities. Most notably the film befriends Freeway Ricky Ross; the man many accuse for starting the Crack epidemic, who after being arrested discovered that his cocaine source had been working for the CIA. AMERICAN DRUG WAR shows how money, power and greed have corrupted not just dope fiends but an entire government. More importantly, it shows what can be done about it. This is not some 'pro-drug' stoner film, but a collection of expert testimonials from the ground troops on the front lines of the drug war, the ones who are fighting it and the ones who are living it.

If they are saying that the government are supplying the drugs for profit then why are they putting billions into the drug war?

Drugs ruin lives

Maybe you should know that e.g. in the Netherlands where its not legal to smoke Pot but you can do it in so called Coffeeshops less people are smoking pot then in countries where its totally illegal to smoke pot. Maybe many people start with it because its illegal and its just i dont know how to say...maybe some think its cool to do something illegal and always the illegal has a special charm if i can say it like that. I mean your parents say dont do this and that and what do you do? Right

No but people do for alcohol

Hold on a minute. They do not "have" to, that implies that holding someone up at gunpoint is somehow justified because you're a junky fuck up.

They wouldn't have to if it was legal as it would be a hell of a lot cheaper and not all addicts are like that anyway

The reason why heroin or crack cocaine addicts are imprisoned but not smokers is because smokers don't rob people at gun point to get their next cigarette.

If Arpaio was given the support he needs by the rest of America then the drug problem would be eradicated pretty quickly. Ideally addicts are helped to recover, but I'd rather have them all behind bars than out and about making trouble for decent, law abiding people.

LOL! He's is just as brainwashed as anyone in law enforcement. I can't believe some of those adverts; "May cause coma or death". COMA or DEATH? Fuck that, I'm sticking with my weed. I'd take eating 60 Maryland cookies over coma or death anytime.

4:01; I envy the lucky bastard downwind from that. The truth is we live in a capitalist society. The main aim of capitalism in profits, they don't want your buying 'illegal' drug, they want you to buy 'legal' drugs so you can be addicted to something that at least lines their pockets in the process. I can smoke so much dope I can pass out and be fine, but take 13 paracetamol and I'm fucked. Weed gets rid of headaches better anyway.

so... they want to legalize drugs, yes? idk wat to think anymore. ug!

agreed. One of the few politicians who isnt a puppet.

'when we go to win a war we win it' Does that Sheriff guy not know about Vietnam.

marrijauna is the best just legalize it!!!all ready gosh!...;D

4:46 "This is the greatest country in the world." In what regard (s)? Greatest at what? Greatest when it comes to annoying/pissing off other nations? Maybe... Surely not the greatest at everything, though... Greatest in general? Again, surely not. Not if we don't have complete freedom over our bodies, nor the right to consume whatever we please...

ron paul shoulda run for president not that retard mccain

Ron Paul rocks

woad´s this add 03:43 ?? a nazi salute ?

Thank you sooo much for posting this!

holy shit 4:00 - thats insane

I'm sorry, but if you really believe that 'Benny Hinn' represents the spirit of the majority of Christians, you are mistaken. "Soulless"? Do you even believe in a "soul"?
