Summary: Loser justifies drug use
Comment: Ok, maybe this is too blunt, and maybe you'll learn some interesting "facts", but it's hard to stomach the incessant whining from a pothead who just can't believe his marijuana is illegal. His argument of choice is to rely on that familiar moral relativist crutch by pointing to the ills of legal drugs like alcohol and prescription drugs. Boring. And undermines his credibility when trying to figure out which of the other arguments are factual or not.

Summary: Open your eyes!
Comment: This is a eye opener which everyone needs to watch! The truth about our own government reveled before your eyes. Excellent casting, interviews & outstanding fact based cross section of viewpoints leaving the opertunity for everyone to make up their own mind. Greed controlled corruption & conspiracy seem to be the main factors used against all of us in this "War" waged for financial gain by those at the top! A definate must see!

Summary: A Must See Documentary
Comment: In my opinion, most documentaries, regardless of how they are presented, can't really give a totally fair and unbiased view of the given topic. I've noticed that a lot of them are usually presented by people who've had a personal experience with the given topic and that experience almost always sets the tone of the film. As long as you realize this as a viewer, then you can ignore most of the 'flaws' in the film itself and be able to grasp the main theme(s).
Having said that, this is one of the best documentaries on the so called drug war in America that I've seen in years...mainly because of its attempted scope, the tying together of several unrelated happenings that seems to point to the same ends, the number of interviews with a good cross section of people who were involved in the drug business, and the timing...if you believe the statement that Nixon started the latest 'war on drugs' in the 1970s (there were other 'war on drugs' campaigns, like the prohibition on alcohol from the 1920s), then the war has been going on long enough for people to be able to step back and take a really good look at what has happened...and where is it going.
This documentary made me think not only about the present 'war on drugs' that our government is conducting, but how this war can affect other areas of one's life that I previously thought were unrelated to the whole money machine that modern drugs have created (check out the reference to 9/11 made by one of Ricky Ross's pals). There have been other documentaries on the war on drugs in the past that were thought provoking, and there will more made in the future that will hopefully keep opening people's eyes to the realities of the drug business-I think Kevin Booth's documentary will be noted among one of the better ones because in my opinion he has managed to tie enough strings together to make a powerful statement.
