"How To Make Money Selling Drugs" documents the drug war and features Woody Harrelson, Adrian Grenier, 50 Cent, and Eminem. The documentary, written and directed by Matthew Cooke, talks about the broken dream in America and how selling drugs provides a 'get rich quick' scheme for many.

The AMC series "Breaking Bad" features a chemistry teacher that turns to selling illegal drugs (methamphetamine) to support his family when he gets diagnosed with terminal cancer. The character, Walter White, encounters extreme difficulties with the law and organized crime to make and sell the drugs. However, if legalized, Mr. White could make a lot of money as an elite chemist without the inherent dangers in trafficking narcotics.

Below is the trailer from the documentary "How To Make Money Selling Drugs." Do you think you would sell drugs if it were legal?



THEAGITATOR.COM reports:
I helped out a bit with this movie. I also give some commentary for about 20 seconds of it. It's a really creative way to look at the drug war.

    dude.. chillax and smoke the dope, the great bob marley him self smoked weed. Besides, it is proven that Cannabis has some health benefits as a medicine. It SHOULD be legalized.

    I would sell cannabis, but only if I could grow some of the best myself...of course, once everything is legal, drugs of any kind wouldn't be particularly profitable.

    Seriously, why the heck would I want to go back to the retail sector?
    If dope was legalized, it would be sold by minimum wage employees in large corporate stores.

    I wouldn't murder someone if it were legal either. I also would not run a bar, and they are legal,and many die each year as a result of legal alcohol sales, (prescription drugs kill many each year also)

    If it were a legal product, why would it be a problem? Do we look askance at the local market because it sells beer and wine? Isn't alcohol a drug? Prohibition doesn't work, it just creates giant profit centers for the cartels and we can't tax the profits to pay for the social destruction the abuse of drugs causes. Legalize and tax the heck out of it like cigarettes.

    lol... im sorry but blaming our problems on 'satan' is just stupid. i mean.. Satan is just symbolism for the bad in the world... pointing the finger at the devil is a worn out medieval trend.. or something a child would do. For once take the blame for your own wrongs, its called RESPONSIBILITY.

    it depends on ur definition of the word "drug." if u mean hardcore drugs like, meth, herion, cocaine, etc, then no. i would not want 2 b the supplier for someone's.... inevitable death. but if u consider weed a "drug." then sure, y not? i'd just b sellling plants. that just so happen to make u sleepy n hungry... lol

    there's no such thing as a coke plant or a heroin tree. if that was the case, pizza, bubble gum and burgers would grow on trees. those kind of drugs u actually have to chemically alter and cook up in a lab. if heroin grew on trees, i'm sure a lot more ppl would b getting high on the daily. lol. i haven't done extensive research on drugs, but IF u are in fact correct about cocaine comming frm the ground n heroin growing on trees, what i was trying 2 say is, i wouldn't sell something that needs 2 be chemically altered. there.

    Cocaine comes from the coca plant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Herion comes from poppies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Now i did the foot work for your research all you have to do is read it good luck...

    ah, i see... well if u wanna get technical about it, tacos grow on plants and lollipops grow on trees! taco shells come from corn and cherry flavored lollipops come from cherries... so idk about that, its a bit of a stretch, but i get what ur saying. everything comes from something natural. i guess... so again, to clarify, i wouldn't sell something that needs to be chemically processed and altered in a lab. ie, poppy to opium to morphine to hydrochloride to diacetylmorphine hydrochloride also known as... heroin.

    I would not be the one supplying the drugs...but I know plenty of people who would love to sell them to all the people that love the drugs and lust for the intoxication.
    Many people believe that when the drugs are legalised the average man or women on the street can be a supplier and profit from the consumption of formerly illegal recreational drugs.
    There will be ways to profit and many people ( stores and or retail outlets ) will be the direct seller to the public and many will be involved in the cultivation of the raw material and naturally there will be the processers and the distributors and finally the retail outlets.
    So, in effect many citizens will be involved in the profiteering.
    However ...I seriously doubt the whole legal supply chain will be anything like all the drug consuming citizens want it to be or actually believe it will be and or develope the way they had envisioned.
    I seriously doubt that the government will allow everyone to participate as small time cultivators or operators just trying to make a decent living placed somewhere along the cultivation or supply chain aspects of supplying and selling recreational purpose intoxicants to the the public at large.
    It is really hard to say exactly what would develope but if we look at alcohol and tobacco and the ...

    It is really hard to say exactly what would develope but if we look at alcohol and tobacco and the various other available drugs we can see what has developed and how the government has developed significant degrees of control over how those substances are supplied and sold.
    I imagine the Federal government would discourage cultivation by the average citizen for thier own personal use while trying to encourage the cultivation by way of legitimate yet tightly regulated cultivators and suppliers who can or would be held liable for their business conduct and the quality of their regulated products.
    I imagine, given time, each state or province would eventually issue small time cultivation licenses to people who want to grow a limited supply for personal uses.
    Maybe 10 plants per year and the licences entails all kinds of regional or state inspection and quality control measures and the onus is on the small time cultivator to NOT be illegally selling any of his personal use drugs on the side to any other citizens.
    Other than that I am certain the govenement is going to tightly control the retail distribution of the drug(s) and in the end there will be a limited amount of companies and or individual citizens who would be licenced to cultivate or distribute, or sell to the public at retail levels.
    Meantime all of those government regulations and rules and guidlines and laws would create more than enough opportunity for criminal enterprises to profit in a number of known ways and or new ways relative to the ineffectiveness to regulate and or enforce the legalities related to the cultivation, supply and selling and the consumption of the now legal recreational intoxicants.
    Think about all the underage people that are not going to stop consuming the drug(s) when the drug(s) are legalised but the law says you have to be say, 19 years or older to legally buy the drug(s)
    Who do you think will be there supplying the underage ( illegal buyers ) of the various now legal drugs.
    The same people that are supplying the illegal drugs now...but their market segment will have become far less but still very lucrative for many people and or criminal enterprises as the youth of the nation includes drug consumers ranging from 14 years old to 18 years old in significant enough numbers to sustain a multi million dollar illegal drug supply enterprise in any major metropolitan area of North America.
    That and everyone will be saying: "Hey the drugs are legal know so there is no stigma anymore and the age related laws are the problem..."not" the illegal supplier to the underage consumer or the illegal underage consumers themselves."
    The drugs will still come with a good number of legal problems continually having to be addressed.

    Exactly. That's why dealing drugs is a popular choice among ghetto kids raised by hip-hop: it's a way of getting away with something in spite of it being illegal...because according to rap, you're not a REAL black man unless you are risking your freedom and life to make money illegally, instead of holding down a real job.
