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.

join Ron Paul's campaign for liberty

Lol, I love how when the sheriff talks his word is the undeniable law yet when a prisoner talks (yaknow, they guy who knows about drugs) it simply "his opinion".

wow that one old guy at the jail/prison whatever is a dick!

Too many Arpaios in this country

True democracy is a flawed system where the majority will eventually enslave the minority. A constitutional republic works great, if the Constitution is well written and well enforced. In America, we have a well written Constitution, unfortunately it is not enforced, and that's how politicians get away with the drug war, the undeclared war in Iraq, wars on poverty (that actually produce poverty), etc.

if you vote you're stupid all politicians think the same and I find it insane you americans believe that obama brings equality ok you have racial equality and sexual equality but you don't have a range of views which is the point of politics not aesthetics. obama will not bring change. We don't have true democracy. all politicians are bastards.

i voted for obahma...ive voted everytime from when i was 18...i am 40 now...please dont let me down....there wont be a next time for either party next time....i will pick up my gun and march on washingto

the children on this video need some help! not jail! come on! not on my spelling game tonight..but lets get real...

the childen on this vidio need some help! who dare the state and federal government put these people in jail...it will not help them...what a shame for america...they need love not jail

these idiot rather do speed? :O...wow shows how addicted that drug really is

Arpaio sounds as if he'd smoke crack.

Like? It is!

how do you figure out 11 cents worth? Damn, that guy got fucked

why are christians blammed for everything pertaining to this movie?

the sherrif is a sick power hungry piece of shit

Just what i was thinking!

Why do he wardens of theses places always seem like the worst of them all?

Many of the chemicals used by people to get high really are dangerous, but someone who doesn't know won't understand the difference. If the christians weren't around, the truth about the differences could be propagated via the media and the public could be correctly educated. But the christians are such a silly lot that the controllers can drive them hysterical and keep on making their money. The christian sillys keep the crooks in power. Anyone with another opinion is burned at the stake.

It's the instrumental to "Run" by Ghostface

wats that song called at 8:44-8:58???

stop war on drugs begin war on poverty

only difference is the uniform they wear, and the language they speak.

haha that sherrif worked with noriega... he was part of the whole thing haha

when the prisoners raised their hands and sharted shouting "Speed!" and arpio is just standing there, being put in his place...classic

Isn't the DEA like the Gestapo?
