good program about the history of drugs on history channel

[Krocksice]

well at least some of the history. But it gave good cultural historical reflection on how the constitution has been ignored in the area of drugs. Also good insight on our government's paranoia for and fear of its own people. Anyone else see it?

1. War On Drugs

In realty it is a War On Liberty. Amerika is an oppressive country.

2. heres a movie you will like

if you can find a copy of a French documentary done In the midst of the coke blunder late70s- early 80s " Princes of Cocaine"
This movie shows how it is made because the french posed no threat to the people making it. If you have never seen the process you have to see it to believe it.
History will tell you about England's profits from opium and America's profits from cocaine.This is not in your basic history book but can be found.Now profits are made from the checkered past by putting users in jail.Are drugs a moral issue or a fact of life that doesn't go away,funny human trick we'll do anything for recreation and then bitch about it.

3. I saw it a few years

back, also on the History Channel. While I missed quite a bit of the series, I do see why the criminalization of marijuana/hemp was needed...how else could DuPont and other big companies corner the market on manmade materials? <sarcasm off>

4. Made me think

that a hit of acid and an hour listening to Air America would be all that needed to shape up this country for quite some time.

5. Nixon's War On Drugs..

was actually a War On the Protesters, who were mostly youngsters. He wanted more of them in prisons so there would be less protesting.

6. Banning hallucigens like marijuana is just

because the government cannot control its'sale, hence its' profits. Marijuana is too easily grown, even in the home, so if it is legalized the government would not necessarily make any money off of it.

It would sort of be like ebay...you know...they have a hard time tracking a seller down to pay taxes.
