5. American Drug War: The Last White Hope
IMDb Rating: 7.9
Available On: Hulu, YouTube
Although this entry on our list of 11 best weed documentaries on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Youtube, doesn’t talk just about weed, I think it can give a great insight into the problems that surrounded legalization movements and use of marijuana in the past. The documentary talks about how the “war on drugs” is perhaps among the longest and most expensive wars the country has ever led and points to the fact that this war is destined to failure from the very beginning. To prove this claim, documentary makers build a compelling case and conduct interviews with former CIA agents, members of Drug Enforcement Administration, lawyers, activists, and celebrities, among others.
