    American Drug War: The last white hope

    Yes, there's tons of drug war programs, and we've all probably seen plenty, but this is by far the best I've ever seen.(longest too at near 2 hours so keep that in mind if you want to watch)

    But this is a great documentary shot by one person and he gets interviews from everyone to the Tommy Chong, Joe Apiro, the former governor of New Mexico, crackheads on the street, Ricky Ross(guy who's accused of basically spreading crack around the country), DEA agents, ect.

    So, check list on the documentary
    -Former governor of New Mexico preaching decriminalization and treatment
    -Joe Apiro, sheriff, world's biggest asshole
    -Ricky Ross, largest crack dealer in history
    -Tommy Chong, everyone's favorite
    -Crackheads in the streets of Amsterdam
    -Methheads on the streets of America
    -Low level drug dealers/users
    -CIA involvement in sending cocaine to America to fund contras and the fact Ricky Ross's connection was a CIA funded operative
    -Federal conspiracy to keep drugs illegal while promoting legal drugs that kill by far more people
    -How criminalization has lead to counter effective treatment
    -Small town Texas and extreme and self described racism
    -and much, much more!

    WATCH THIS!
