American Drug War

"American Drug War: The Last White Hope" written by Kevin Booth.

Playing right now... its on showtime. channel 223 in Manhattan.

Fun Facts: i got from this show...

- Amount of Deaths caused by different substances in the U.S. last year...
-100,000 - prescription medication.
-450,000 - tobacco products
-10,000 - cocaine and/or heroin
-150,000 - health/drinking related
-0 - marijuana

Looking at these numbers, it seems horribly ironic what is legal and what is not, don't you think?

- 50% of all prison inmates in the U.S. are non-violent drug offenders.

- and then of course it touched on the fact that the government continues to keep certain substances illegal so that consumers have to buy prescriptions.
(IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY...)
