A documentary looks at America's war on drugs and at what the campaign has cost the country. It moves past Reefer Madness and the lessons taught under Just Say No, drawing on government statistics, interviews with experts and humor. The costs it counts are measured in money, in stress and in lives. Among its subjects are a drug czar whose pursuit harms people, patients refused the medications they need, and doctors taken to court for trying to treat them.
