Inspired by the deaths of family members from drug use, writer/director Kevin Booth set out to chronicle the failure of America's long-running, expensive, but ineffective "war on drugs" with this startling, eye-opening documentary.

A most informative doc JohnMichael and one I hope more take the time to view in it's entirety.
I was unaware of First Data Corporation and the power they hold globally, or as one website claims; "powers the global economy. ... "
The film adds 1+1 together and after viewing it, I'm left with a very baaaaaaad feeling for the planet if the mankind continues to be complacent sheeple.
Perhaps if the people can organise, and this doesn't mean behind candidate X or Y, but behind groups such as Medical Marijuana and the like, I think the US could see a change in policy for NATURAL drugs. Pot, hash, mushrooms could be made available. The medical proof is in place; scientists, doctors and researchers agree, people have the right to use these compound without fear of penalty.
Prohibition NEVER works as well as Regulation & Control!

Mucho thanx for the knowledge! :D

JohnMichael -- one truly good TRUTH SEEKER!!!How I wish I'd have recorded all the related news of such truths heard as far back as the 1970s & forward, {& had a library of the related truths from even earlier times!}. A truth slips out & then the govt quickly hides it, yet those who do pay attention still have the memory!

What better way to keep the people as sheeples than to have them drug addled? I have said for a long time it's not the average corner drug pusher that needs to be imprisoned. It's the man behind the curtain, with the power to keep the drug abuse going and gaining.

Reform of many government screw ups is way overdue. Nixon? What a joke! Seems he screwed up, maybe his war on drugs might be wrong too? Don't get me wrong, there's many drugs I don't agree with, those that are man made, a mix of ingredients that create something un-natural. But the natural ones, they were created by a higher being. Who is the government to question that? And they swear in by saying - In God We Trust. Wonder what kind of God they believe in???

I'll be happy to help promote your news Laurie, just forward it to me.

I don't expect anything to be coming my way Stephanie. We wouldn't want the good info to make the front page now would we? I am a firm believer that posting stories with no pictures and poor promotion works best.

This headline has 93 notes...

Greenpeace Uncover 'Hidden Trade in Whale Meat'

I searched for it, and couldn't find it, care2 must want to block that important info huh?

Hmm, why not use graphics? With my own submissions, it seems using a "grabbing" graphic has usually helped. i pay attention to graphics when cruising our news items. Perhaps, its just my art & advertising background. However, such statements from you I do pay attention to, so let me in on your helpful hint~

An overwhelming documentary. Do you think there is a chance we could come together and make a change in the system? It is a pity that people with some moral inclination usually do not have money, and therefore no power... It just seems to be getting worse, and money does rule the world..

I was being sarcastic Kathleen. :) And Tinkie the best advice I can give is to get involved in activism that relates to this topic, http://americandrugwar.com has an activism section. On truthawaits there is some realted activism as well.
