This documentary, part of the 20th Century With Mike Wallace series from CBS News and the History Channel, heads into the heart of the drug culture of the 1980s and 1990s and looks at what the government tried to do to stop the drug problem. Narrated by series host and CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace, this episode explains how some of the governmental policies actually contributed to the rise in popularity of certain drugs. Some laws do help regulate the import of certain drugs, but those same laws do not prevent other illegal drugs from coming into America. 20th Century With Mike Wallace features interviews with law enforcement officials who work in this supposed "war on drugs" every day and talk about what occurs behind the scenes that the government conceals from the American public. ~ Cecilia Cygnar, Rovi
