The Film

View Trailer Viewing this film may change your answers to these questions: Should law enforcement officers be expected to enforce laws that don't make sense? What happens if the police don't believe in the laws? What if nobody believes in them? Does drug prohibition actually do more harm than drug use?

Our primary characters, all current or former law enforcement officers, say that as much as 80% of all felony crime is caused by drug addiction prohibition. "Legalize, regulate and tax" is their mantra now. Our heroes believe that all illicit drugs should be under the control of government, not left in the hands of criminals.
