Some remarkable / remarks, except end-credits for 4 minutes, a chaotic cut , not innovatory, and repeating itself, and continously blaming of the USA. ( or some to escobar ) WOD = war on drugs

,,we misunderstood cocaine"

,,the usa always have lead the WOD, on sea and abroad" (?)

,,sometimes there is no room in jail, we'll make..." ( nixon )

,,330.000 prisoners in 1970, now; 2,3 million in jail"

and ,,more in US prison than US soldiers or prisoners in china."

To Gretchen Peters, author of seeds of terror; Those enormous quantities of drugs getting out of afganistan ? come on....the most drugs, 95% of the common used, are the ones made ..at home.. ( did i just blame the US ? Oo )

,,100 and 100 and 100 of billions spend on the WOD"

funny; ,, Legal Marijuana Processing for Medical Purposes, Holland." , coffeeshops and the Dampkring are named.

,, Addiction is medical problem " and ,,Health before punishment" Swiss

conclusion; 40 years chasing onsmall amounts, or users WAS wrong...break the taboo. join the debat. speak, talk educate.

The War on Drugs has failed. After 50 years of prohibition, illicit drugs are now the third most valuable industry in the world after food and oil, all in the control of criminals. Drugs are cheaper and more available than ever before. Millions of people are in prison for drugs offences. Corruption and violence, especially in producer and transit countries, endangers democracy. Tens of thousands of people die each year in drug wars.

IMPROVING OUR DRUG POLICIES IS ONE OF THE KEY POLICY

CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME. THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW.

Breaking the Taboo was directed by Cosmo Feilding Mellen and Fernando Grostein Andrade, and is Narrated by Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman. Featuring interviews with current and former presidents from around the world, such as Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, the film follows The Global Commission on Drug Policy on a mission to break the political taboo over the United States led War on Drugs and expose what it calls the biggest failure of global policy in the last 40 years.
