Thats one hell of an impacting documentary. At 49:00 when the guy who wrote the minimum sentencing tells how he looks back on that...he really, really gets emotional and you can see that he strugges tremenduously with the consequences.

I think it wonderfully words the real reasons governments do things: money, profitability, controll.


Thanx for posting it.

The War on Drugs has been a highly contentious issue since its inception.
A poll on October 2, 2008, found that three in four Americans believed that the War On Drugs was failing



A 2008 study by Harvard economist Jeffrey A. Miron has estimated that legalizing drugs would inject $76.8 billion a year into the U.S. economy — $44.1 billion from law enforcement savings, and at least $32.7 billion in tax revenue ($6.7 billion from marijuana, $22.5 billion from cocaine and heroin, remainder from other drugs).[83][84] Recent surveys help to confirm the consensus among economists to reform drug policy in the direction of decriminalization and legalization.[85]

The only way for drugs to be allowed into society as acceptable is when people are able to use it responsibly and so far, it's yet to happen. That said, a total ban is no better and there needs to be a middle-path that allows both legalization and regulation.

So how do you suggest it will ever happen? Magic?

I was hinting more towards alchemy but magic could work in theory.
