Interesting expose on the drug culture disguised as a news program (unless it was, but I don't think so), featuring many experts speaking pro and con about drugs. The best are the extreme on both sides. A hard nosed judge on the nay side and yes, Timothy Leary on the yay side. This goes on for a wee bit too long but it does have it's moments.
