"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?

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.

The one downfall though.. is that we all know what would happen to the program once the government realized what a cash cow it is.. see social security fund.
While I have no qualms about legalizing drugs, there does need to be an element of control so it can become and income stream rather than the net suck it's been on our economy since Nixon 1st began the DEA.
I'd like to see the prison population shifted into treatment facilities.. We should not be incarcerating drug offenders. They should be in treatment.
Cause and effect, we didn't learn our lesson from the 18th amendment. While many seem to think playing morality cop requires a law enforcement way of dealing drug abuse is the way to handle it. I tend to believe that the opposite it true. Make treatment available, and tax the substance as we do booze or smokes. I'd wager that we'd see
the use of serious drugs such as methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin drop, were pot to be legalized, and the harder drugs fall under the auspices of the FDA, for quality control, and prescription management.
I have no interest in any of that dangerous, harmful crap.
Grouping all illegal drugs together is the wrong way of looking at it. Studies show that pure MDMA is about as bad for you as a single night of drinking. Studies have also shown that marijuana has far less serious health risks than alcohol or tobacco, as well as having medical benefits for both psychiatric and physical disorders. Acid isn't bad for you either but a lot of people have false information on it.
