Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This History Channel program is quite an eye opener that may change one's perceptions about "good" and "bad" (or legal/illegal). We all share social beliefs based on the laws and legacy of our country. Yet, how were such beliefs formed to become a part of who we are today? Since the mid-19th Century, America has waged a "war on drugs." These 2-DVDs examine the history, effect and status of specific illegal drugs. Disc One examines Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Opium, Morphine and Heroin, and Disc Two examines Cocaine, LSD, Ecstasy, and Raves. This program guides us through the uncertain landscapes, explaining the chemistry of certain drugs, their effects on our body/mind/emotions, their history of use and illegality, and their current status. I found it especially interesting to hear experts on both sides of the "war on drugs" exploring the social and legislative changes that have created our drug culture. This is a very informative well shaped program, anyone should see it.
