An extraordinary documentary marking a new level in broadcast journalism critiquing the international war on drugs was shown on Irish TV last night (3 June 2008).
Filmed in Colombia, Ireland, England, the US, The Netherlands, Switzerland and many more, it includes a veritable who’s who of drug policy experts on all sides of the debate (Including Transform's Danny Kushlick).
It is absolutely unequivocal in demonstrating the futility and massive costs of fighting the war on drugs, as well as suggesting legal regulation as a viable alternative. A must see for anyone interested in the debate.

A well-argued piece, shows like this are essential if societal attitudes towards prohibition are to eventually change. My regards also to Danny for his excellent contribution.
Absolutely magnificent stuff. Probably the best documentary on the subject I've seen thus far (and I believe I've seen it all).
Great job by Danny, as expected!
Great programme I only wish this was shown in the UK
Danny , well done.... you are inspiring others too.
