"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.

But not all drugs are the same. Some drugs save lives, some drugs take them.

14,000 deaths per yr in the US from prescription drugs. You don't see the absurdity in that?

How many shipments of drugs have made it into America from Mexico since your buddy Eric Holder sent guns to the drug cartels professor?

If drugs were legal you wouldn't have those problems. Victimless crimes are not crimes. Many potent drugs are opiates( heroin, morphine, phentonal) and are peddled by the pharmaceutical companies, who want no competition. It's more profitable for business's that run our government to have a 15 billion dollar a year war on drug which we then lock up people for victimless crimes then spend about 2 billion or more per state per year. Wonder why we have such a problem with money? Where do you think these billions go to.......Huge multinational corporations that supply government with everything. making drugs illegal does not solve anything and only makes the problem worse. The responsibility relies with the parents not the government. It's much cheaper and more efficient.

this kind of thinking is neither honest nor informed, drug abuse does not happen in a vacuum. the social , economic conditions and the individual persons are the factors determining abuse.
alcohol was wildly abused at the turn of the century because of the conditions and the economics of the time, when the conditions and economics changed alcohol was no longer abused by the majority of working white men

Because it IS a problem. Do you think enticing some young kid who is immature and gullible to buy drugs without any consequence is ALRIGHT? Pull your head out!

Not much of an argument you got there, don't you realize the enticement is because they are illegal? This fact has been proven by Prohibition......pull you head out of your ass and.....wake up.

People want drugs, if it were legal, it'd be just another business. Besides we already have legal drug dealers, they're just called pharmaceutical companies.

I have acquaintances who sell drugs, a few of them would be relaying on welfare otherwise, they are unfit for employment in this economy so they turn to the only solution they have apart from sitting around waiting for a welfare check. At least this way they have something to do, only it is quite risky since it's illegal.

I know a guy who sells weed because he can't read, so he wouldn't be able to find a decent job. Tis sad really, not being able to read in this day and age. It's his only source of money.

Idk, without a good comedian, you can't get the best joke in the world to sound any better than ok. Want proof? SNL from 05'-09'. The comedians where so poor then that there was talk of canceling the show.

That's up for debate, and gay doesn't always mean homosexual. Sometimes it just means stupid.

Can't argue with that. Legal drugs kill and injure more people than all illegal drugs combined, and all of the risks are swept under the run in exchange for immense profits,
