Wow, what a pile. I don't know how I sat through the whole thing. I'm not disappointed because it was pretty entertaining how sloppily it was thrown together. They draw you in with all these big rock stars, then the soundtrack is like one really lame, public domain rock song playing way too loud, over, and over, and over. At one point they zoom in on a print article, and pan across it in a way that you would have to read 3 lines at one time to follow it. Parts of the documentary are literally just other documentaries. Drugs were definitely used as weapons against everyone involved in this film. It's really good.

Ever wonder why so many Pop and Rock bands from about the 1960s became involved with drugs and promoted drugs in their songs? Why many of these band members went from being relatively clean-shaven and neatly attired to hirsute slobs? All just a coincidence? According to DRUGS AS WEAPONS AGAINST US, much of this was by design; engineered by forces operating behind the scenes, who are thought to manipulate major world events and control the mainstream media. The documentary is so well-researched, it's a little boring and overlong. I think at least thirty minutes could have easily been trimmed from its runtime, without it losing any content of importance. This highly informative expose begins with the history of the opium wars of the mid-1800s. We learn that China at that time had prohibition laws in place which forbade opium. This did nothing to deter some British merchants from smuggling opium into China with the aim of corrupting the Chinese population, via drugs. It was with that same motive, so the movie informs, that drove certain ones operating in positions of power within the U.S. to help create and manipulate the whole counter-culture movement of the '60s, of free (i.e. irresponsible) love and getting high. Some of the information presented in this is downright disturbing, like what happened to dear Paul Robeson, Sr. Heroin. Cocaine. Acid. MDMA (a.k.a. "Ecstasy"). They're all examined here within this context. And as it is brought out in the documentary, designed in large part, with the motive being the same: to disempower the younger generations mentally and physically and ultimately politically. To cause these oblivious yet influential music stars -- and, by extension, their fans -- to become too stoned, sluggish, and slothful to care much about anything other than (socially conditioning) concerts and record releases.

I mean, just be warned, this is literally "A Progressive Left Productions Presentation." I'm not joking. It's the opening credit. That being said, it does have a lot of accurate information. The premise of the film is mostly true. The CIA was involved with drugs and celebrities, and the CIA is involved in lots of things that people don't know about, even today. The problem with the film is that the narrator is an Artificial Intelligence, like Siri . . . super monotone. It's pretty good info if you can tolerate the monotony, but the entertainment value is a one star. Moral of the story . . . don't do drugs, kids.

This is a great example of how conspiracy propaganda is made. It seems to be well researched. But in its smoothness, it lulls you into ignoring what should be obvious -- proving the details and substantiating the linkages. Conspiracy theories always fail in this, as in the 911 conspiracies. Example: John smith ALLEGEDLY was somehow affiliated with cia. Example: john smith ALLEGEDLY was somehow affiliated with the rolling stones. Example: the rolling stones took acid. Example: john smith ALLEGEDLY provided the acid. Conclusion: the cia dosed the rolling stones. See the problem here? Movies like this are like crack for weak minds who don't know enough about how the real world works.

Just another film that has come out this year that's trying to get people to hate America and its Government. No matter what kind of propaganda is spewed by activists, America and its core values will always prevail.

I just want to leave a non-1star review, as these previous very rational people did... And to counter their ratings with my 10 one. This documentary makes a lot of statements about many people, and I don't think there is a reliable way to check their credibility, especially, when there supposedly is such an interest to hide the truth... I believe less and less of anything that I hear or read these days, but one thing seems coming up, which is that some networks of people at the highest ranks of American government are running "the show". All I want to know is- what are they thinking and what is their goal?

I love documentaries, basically on any topic. Even things that I think I know a lot about already, I will gladly watch a documentary about because I figure I'm open to learning something new. I really just gave this a shot because the other two reviews (at the time of this writing) are obviously fake reviews written by the same person under two different names so I wanted to give it a fair review here. Unfortunately, I can't really do that because I had to shut this miserable film off prematurely. It's just not done well. The narrator slogs along about the 60's drug scene, and the Beatles and Stones, etc and I sit here and think, 'man- doesn't everyone already know this stuff?' I mean when you feel so compelled to re-tell the story of the first time the Beatles took acid, that you borrow actual (dated, non-HD) footage of them discussing it straight from The Beatles Anthology, without adding anything new of your own...yikes. I wasn't alive in the 1960's, but like many people who weren't, I still know who Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters are. This documentary comes out in 2018 and acts as if it's breaking some new ground on anything here and I have to say it's just a collection of photos and videos they googled and spoke over. Finally, I have to mention how the production budget was so low, they seriously reuse the same annoying song throughout the film, which is played any time a photo of a drug party is displayed onscreen. They can't even play/use any of the music of the artists they are referring to, even though it's supposed to be a drug documentary about musicians. Awful.
