"Slavery was our worst idea," says legendary documentarian Ken Burns. "I'm not sure that Prohibition was second, but it's really up there." Burns talks to Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie about his new PBS film, an in-depth look at one of the most controversial episodes in US history. "The Noble Experiment," notes Burns, left a legacy of organized crime, moral hypocrisy, single-issue politics, and unintended consequences from which we're still recovering. About 13 minutes. Shot by Jim Epstein, Anthony Fisher, and Meredith Bragg, who also edited the piece. Go to www.youtube.com to watch Burns discuss his ardent support for public funding of the arts, the breakdown of mass audiences, and whether his self-description of being a "Yellow Dog Democrat" affects his creative work.

I do not own, nor am I taking credit for the music of The Fireballs, the lyrics of Tom Paxton, or Ace Records/Sundazed Record Labels. I'm not in this for profit, I'm in it for acclamation. A project I did in May that had to deal with The Great Gatsby, so why not Prohibition? Got some footage from a video, took some images off the Internet, and made my own appearances (everything credited though). Worked late into the morning, but got a 100 on it. BOOYAKAH!!!!

Alcohol prohibition may have been repealed in 1933, but Americans have rarely been more intoxicated with the "noble experiment" than they are today. Between "Last Call," Daniel Okrent's best-selling 2010 book, leading clothing designers taking inspiration from jazz age fashion, a new prime-time documentary by Ken Burns, and the new, second season of HBOs critically acclaimed Boardwalk Empire, it's impossible to ignore the new interest in Prohibition. With a fixation on "classic cocktails" and faux-speakeasies, even drinking culture itself seems to be bellying up to the bar. What's fueling this fascination and where will it end? Reason.tv talks with filmmaker Burns, author Okrent, and drug policy activist Aaron Houston of Students for Sensible Policy, who argues that "Culture and art right now are reflective of a general sentiment in this society that the war on drugs has not worked." And that change is in air. Marijuana legalization initiatives will be on the ballot in at least two states in 2012, Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Barney Frank (D-Mass.) have introduced legislation to let states decide pot's legal status, and record high levels of Americans are in favor of legalization. As Okrent tells Reason.tv, the need for excise tax revenue during the Great Depression helped make repeal of alcohol prohibition not just possible but desirable. Coupled with a sense of exhaustion at a drug war that has done little to prevent drug use, the dire financial straits of government at <b>...</b>

In 1992, Jim Gray, a conservative judge in conservative Orange County, California, held a press conference during which he recommended that we rethink our drug laws. Back then, it took a great deal of courage to suggest that the war on drugs was a failed policy. Today, more and more Americans are coming to the realization that prohibition's costs—whether measured in lives and liberties lost or dollars wasted—far exceed any possible or claimed benefits. Reason.tv's Paul Feine interviewed Gray about drug policy and the prospects for reform. The interview was shot by Alex Manning and edited by Hawk Jensen. Judge Jim Gray is the author of Why Our Drug Laws Have Failed and What We Can Do About It: A Judicial Indictment of the War on Drugs. Approximately 8.30 minutes.

The United States government has a tendency to focus on legislation through prohibiting or the prohibition of things from trans fats in restaurants to alcohol. Since the 1920s prohibition of alcohol, the government has continued this practice and has continued in excess according to Lori Roman. She says it is up to the American people to insist that they, not unelected government bureaucrats, make decisions about what they eat and drink.

Though it may have been well intentioned to begin with, marijuana prohibition has been ineffective at reducing cannabis availability and has instead created many problems. The most obvious concerns relate to the growth of organized crime gang violence. But what about the $1 trillion dollars that has been spent on the "war on drugs" in North America over the last 40 years? Despite this astronomical price tag and ever growing rates of marijuana-related arrests, the price of marijuana has gone down while the potency has gone up. Things have become so bad these days that young people have easier access to marijuana than to alcohol and cigarettes. This whole thing has been a huge failure. Policy HAS to change. In British Columbia, the marijuana market is estimated to be worth up to 7 billion dollars; double the total revenue of BC's agriculture, forestry and fishing sectors combined. These massive illegal revenues fuel crime, violence and corruption across the province, and help fund criminal activities like importing cocaine and guns. While marijuana use is not free from harms, health experts have concluded that alcohol and tobacco are much more dangerous. In fact, experts believe that a regulated legal market for adult marijuana use is the best way to protect public health and improve public safety. The strict regulation of marijuana has the <b>...</b>
