Editorial Review:
Product Description: ***HOOKED: ILLEGAL DRUGS AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY (2008, 2-DVD, History Channel, 200 min) ~ Includes 4 documentaries: (1) Marijuana & Methamphetamine; (2) Opium, Morphine & Heroine; (3) Cocaine; (4) LSD, Ecstasy & the Raves. ~ Since the Industrial Revolution, drug use has increased dramatically, and society's response to this - particularly in America - has been to criminalize drugs and its users. These documentary specials explore the world of illegal drugs, and pharmacologists and scientists discuss the physical effects of drugs on the human body. The merit of social and legislative changes that have transformed and created the drug culture of the 20th century is debated by outspoken advocates on both sides of the "war on drugs." Fascinating accounts illuminate this polarizing issue while artifacts illustrate the role of drugs throughout history. ***AMERICA'S CRYSTAL METH EPIDEMIC (2008, A&E, 100 min) ~ Includes 2 incisive documentaries: (1) Meth in the City - this A&E documentary special takes a multi-faceted look at the new urban meth phenomenon; (2) Meth: A Country in Crisis - in light of the current media blitz surrounding the national epidemic of methamphetamine use, we go inside the very personal stories of this crisis. ~ These riveting documentary specials take a multi-faceted look at the epidemic, including the users and the activists who are trying to save them, law enforcement officers on the front lines, and those working to keep the drug from spreading and taking further hold of the smallest towns and the major urban centers. From police to addicts, politicians to scientists, meet everyone involved in this crisis. "In terms of damage to children and our society, meth is now the most dangerous drug in America." - Alberto Gonzalez, US Attorney General. (Total running time 3 hrs 20 min)
