Afghan Heroin
Afghan Heroin: The Lost War is a documentary which investigates how the war on terror in Afghanistan has unleashed heroin into the mainstream.
Heroin is one of the most addictive drugs on Earth. Some 90 per cent of the drug is grown in Afghanistan and this hard hitting documentary investigates how the War on Terror has inadvertently unleashed a massive supply of the deadly drug.
After the Western coalition troops started their hunt for terrorist Osama Bin Laden and his Taliban allies in late 2001, the country torn apart from decades of war once more became the world’s opium growing capital.
Many impoverished farmers had no choice but to grow the opium poppy to feed their families.
The documentary delve into the devastating effects of addiction that includes shocking scenes of a young Norwegian couple hustling, scoring and shooting up several times a day in order to appease the monster inside them.

Totally Bill Hicks
Watch Totally Bill HicksI didn't know who Bill Hicks was until I clicked a link from some Joe Rogan bullshit I was watching & started laughing my ass off. He wasn't just funny, he spoke the truth about some far out shit. He was a well read guy, whether it was religion, politics, consumerism, or some other bullshit. This documentary is part stand up and part interviews with comedians and tv personalities that knew him. If I had to compare him to another comedian it would probably be George Carlin, but more direct and foul.

Proposition 19
OK people, this is huge. This isn't an actual documentary, but it concerns something so ridiculously important that I need to share it with all of you.On November 2nd, the state of California will be holding a statewide ballot, Proposition 19, which will decide whether or not to legalize marijuana in the within the state. For the bill to pass, they require a simple majority (50%+ in favor). Check out the official Proposition 19 site.
What will legalizing actually do? Basically, people under the age of 21 will be able to possess up to 28g of herb. 28g = 1 oz. Also, citizens will be able to use fun grass in a private place, such as their own home or a licensed site (like bars or pubs). Further, peepz can grow the green stuff in a 2.3 square meter area.There are
More importantly, government is gonna regulate this whole process, and allow sale of up to 28 grams per transaction. Find more info about regulation and taxation at the Proposition 19 Wikipedia page.
How will this affect California negatively? Look at the official No on Prop. 19 Website. Many of their concerns are legitimate, and many, I feel, are not.

Taboo: Drugs
This awesome. Basically talks about different drugs that are acceptable in other cultures. Some Indian dudes smoke so much pot it blows my mind, basically smoking ALL DAY LONG. Also, some guy tries to become a shaman and he starts to trip balls... You can see it on his face. It's pretty funny.

Streets of Plenty
Watch Streets of PlentyThis is sort of like super size me, except instead of thirty days of McDonalds the plan is thirty days of homelessness in Vancouver's downtown eastside. The guy goes to shelters and interviews street bros. To make it a bit exciting he gets some rank ass disease about halfway through from the bed he slept in. Near the end of his month, the dude ups the ante by smoking a little crack followed by shooting up heroin at Insite, Vancouver's world famous safe injection site. Balling or questionable, you be the judge.

Bigger Stronger Faster
This is about the pros and cons of using steroids. Like the documentaries on legalization of marijuana, it makes you questions whether steroids should be legalized as well. Man, some of the guys in this documentary are fucked... They do an interview with the guy from "The Man Whose Arms Exploded."
