Documentary "The Drug Years"

[Jakobien]

This groundbreaking four-part documentary series chronicles the cultural impact of illicit drug use in America during the past half-century. What modestly began with the counter-culture during the ’50s now touches every American life, from the inner cities to celebrity mansions. In revealing archive footage, THE DRUG YEARS tells the fascinating story of how we got here, and asks hard questions about the future. Produced and directed by Dana Heinz Perry and Hart Perry, THE DRUG YEARS is a VH1 and Sundance Channel co-production.

Puh, a 3 hours documentary

My 2 cents:

Worth it ... very well done & interesting ... thx for the link ...
but: dont know how to put it ...
I've seen better documentaries on the same subject ... history of x, where x = lsd, mdma,cocaine,mj, ...
perhpas that's because I've already seen a lot of them ...

sidenote: imho the speakers' voice has strong resemblance with mckennas'
, dont you think ?

Good documentary, thanks!

I've seen quite some docus on this subject and I already knew a lot of stuff, but there were some new infos, plus it were all new pictures! I dunno where they got their material from, but it was different pictures from all the other docus (which usually use all the same pictures again and again...)

Heh, I saw it on VH1 with my friends, smoking pot and trying to score some acid. Even though I was ripped, I found it to be very educational.
