If you haven't seen Penn & Teller's show "Bullshit!" it's probably because you don't subscribe to Showtime. It's a debunking show that exposes popular lies and the people behind them. I'm expecting very much from there episode "The War on Drugs" which premiers on Showtime at 10:00pm, April 22. Be sure to watch!
For more information http://www.sho.com/site/ptbs/home.do I have the complete collection of the first season in mpegs of varing quality. If you have winmx or have AIM set-up to share, let me know if there are any episodes you want. Unfotunantly, I don't have Showtime or a recording program or I'd bring The War on Drugs episode directly here.

My prediction:
Penn: "Many people say that the War On Drugs doesn't work. Some even say that drugs should be legalized. We're calling bullshit on those people."

Well did Penn and Teller debunk the conspiracy theorists who claim that the war on drugs doesn't work?
Did they expose marijuana as the deadly drug that it really is?

It was a great episode. They interviewed Irvin Rosenfeld, one of 7 Federal medical marijuana patients, smoking a joint in front of the capital. Editor in chief of High Times. A Harvard graduate doctor advocating medical marijuana, and his personal experience he had with his son who had lukemia. The crew put pillow cases on there head so they could go to secret pot grows and medical marijuana dispensaries in California. They parodied anti-drug commercials. The quotes were inspiring and the facts were sound.
"America has a drug problem. It's not the "turn on, tune in, drop out" one that you'd expect; the real problem is drug prohibition. Now, alcohol prohibition didn't work last century so someone figured it was a PR problem and changed the name prohibition to an even more bullshit macho name, "The War on Drugs." It's got that word "war" in there, and uh... as much as we'd hate to admit it it seems pretty clear that our country, which we all love so dearly, loves a fuckin' war, even if it's a war fought in our own streets against our own people. The issue here is moral and ethical; the issue is Freedom. If you live in a free country you have the right to put anything you want into your own body. Anything else is bullshit."
"We'd have fewer vicitmless criminals clogging our prisons. The courts police and lawyers would have time and money to deal with real crime. We'd take away the huge black market profits and the bad guys. We'd be able to ease some suffering. We could seriously reduce the transmission of HIV and hepatitus. We could control the quality and doseages so fewer people would get sick through contamination and overdose. "

I'm not surprised. Even though I kidded you about them being for the drug war, I knew nobody could be so stupid as to support the drug war.
