Yet another RoD episode that focuses on the modern boogieman of 'drugs' -- a problem custom-created by racist American politicians as a way to keep citizens' minds off of social problems and bad legislation -- such as the drug war itself, that creates violence and addiction out of whole cloth by outlawing the psychoactive plants of mother nature, shunting users off onto far more addictive drugs, creating the Oxy addicts featured in this episode, who then empower and enrich government through the purchase of methadone -- the same government whose drug war lies and plant criminalization led to the addiction in the first place. (I can only hope that the usual drug war instinct for censorship won't result in IMDB suppressing this review. They surely wouldn't censor a review that decried racism in a film -- why should I be blocked for decrying a public policy that leads to a million minority arrests a year -- for mere possession of mother nature's plants?!)
