American Drug War: The Last White Hope

American Drug War: The Last White Hope I think most of us at some point in our lives have heard at least a rumor or two about our Federal governments' shady operations. American Drug War puts everything in a very clear picture into one provoking package. This is in no way a "stoner" movie rather this is a documentary on the history of our governments continued atrocious control over us to the detriment of all Americans not financially wealthy. Every American is impacted by the "war on drugs" regardless of whether or not they use legal drugs (including alcohol, tobacco, and prescription meds), illegal drugs, or none at all. I hope that people who claim to have an open mind watch this and see for themselves what's truly going on. As a very proud American it saddens me to learn that the biggest threat to our nation is our own government's greed. Thank you Kevin Booth for your diligence in working to bring this information to us.

The propaganda statements and/or slogans regarding highly volatile issues of great public concern today, such as the war on drugs, are often semantically designed to promote a point of view on the basis of their emotional impact rather than logic. While this is certainly a valuable tool for the attitudinal manipulation of the less enlightened masses, who will eagerly parrot these messages as being representative of authoritative wisdom, they are often, in fact, nothing more than a simplistic panacean smoke screen that serves to obviate a realistic examination of the complex issues involved, by fostering unreasoned opinion. This film is highly recommended to anyone wanting to gain a realistic understanding of the drug war in America.

American Drug War shows ways the various ways the government has chosen to hold back the legalization of drugs and the consequences of it. It effectively compares countries who have legalized drugs such as the Netherlands to the U.S. Some of the guests in this documentary were quite credible including CIA agents, a Californian judge, and some other former government officials. This made it so much better because anyone can make up a conspiracy theory, and I actually think a decent amount of filmmakers get following conspiracy theories that only have a grain of truth. American Drug War, however, covers several areas relating drug legislation in the U.S. from a more seemingly unbiased and believable standpoint.

If you are tired of being lied to watch this movie. Everything in this film was well done, great documentery. Michael Ruppert is in a lot of these types of films. I respect the man to the fullest. To get more into the truth about New World Order. Please check out End Game, Loose Change, Zietgeist, End of Saburbia.

There is so much information that I cannot fit it into this review. This truly is a documentary that will change the way you view all drugs, whether they be legal, illegal, or prescription. Director Kevin Booth shows all sides of America's "War on Drugs" and its toll on our country. Whether your against drug use or for it, this is a very informative and IMPORTANT documentary to watch. The biggest sticking point of the documentary is that drugs ought to be regulated instead of being made illegal to lower drug use overall in America. An example is the fact that Amsterdam/Holland has 40% less marijuana use compared to the U.S. Also that crystal meth use is virtually obsolete in Amsterdam/Holland whereas in the U.S. its an epidemic.

These are just some of the few things that are brought up in the documentary, truly a great film and something that should be viewed by everybody.
