Author: traebooth
Description: The first official trailer from the long awaited "AMERICAN DRUG WAR" from sacredcow-com 35 years after Nixon started the war on drugs, we have over one million non-violent drug offenders living behind bars.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 drug pushers and 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.After 4 years of production including several sold out test screenings in New York, Austin & Los Angeles, the final version of American Drug War "the last white hope" is locked and loaded.

Fascism

im instrested WEREFEAT got any facts/proof? please no bias or .coms

Uh, the war on drugs is a huge success. Elements in the government are making tons of money. That's what it was supposed to do.

decriminilize all drug use and this ocuntry will be able to start the road to recovery

the us war on drugs is the biggest failed policy in our countries history ..failure in every sense

Watch the film and u will understand why they use that phrase...it IS a white and black hing im afraid...and im white and so are the people who made the documentary...watch it, it explains it better than i can in 500 charecters!

isnt it ironic how its the "american drug war" but america owns all the drug companies

don't worry, it's not about white vs black; it is just about " controllers of joe6pakrich who happen to be white people " vs "vast majority of drug users." it does not concern minorities, such as white drug users or non-drug using black people.

Its people at the top (who are white yes). They are the ones who believe in White Supremacy. In order for that to continue they use segragation- discrimination-racist-tricky birth control tactics to keep the controversy going. Stop smoking now.

oh and the whole 80% of cop shootings things, if cops didnt have to aresst people while they were they high they wouldnt have that problem, the laws basicly created the problems

wow bro its not about that at all

Why the hell do they have to add in this "last white hope" BS? I'm white and I smoke pot. I'm caught up in this crap too. Lets not make it a white vs black thing, this is the citizens vs bad government policy.

Legalize drugs and there will be no more huge profits for the black market which is where the violence is coming from. Prohibition spawns all of the serious problems related to drugs. Educating people with the truth about drugs and their effects and using all the money wasted on the drug war to help addicts is really the only answer. Prohibition does not work and never will.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." -Thomas Jefferson Fuck the law, do what you want as long as you don't harm others.

What is the song called that plays at 45 seconds into the video when the pcp guy says pop a firecracker cracker lol? relle does anyone know?

Yes, the forbidden fruit is sweet! The most effective war with drugs - is the legalization of light drugs!^^

Due to prohibition.....mainly

well yes that goes for being on and off of drugs. Thats a nice rule of thumb tho.

The neocons that support the "war on drugs" don't see private property. The government owns our minds, bodies and souls.

Provided that while you are under the influence of the drug, you don't harm infringe on the rights of others...

All you need to bring up to someone who is anti-drugs is the 4th amendment of the Constitution. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." What is more private than what we put in our own bodies?

The largest number of drug addicts live in America!!!

I thought the very same thing -- glad you liked it.

Well after searching google, I found a link to dailymotion. Finally watched it. Wow! Definitely one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. I want to buy it now to show everyone. I also want a major screening of this enlightening documentary in movie theatres across the country!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Bill Hicks
