US War on Drugs is a 'Charade' says Brad Pitt

In promotion of new documentary The House I Live In, Pitt says America's anti-drugs strategy is 'backward'

Brad Pitt has labelled the US "war on drugs" a "charade" during a promotional stint for new documentary The House I Live in.

Pitt, who takes a producer's credit on the new film from Why We Fight director Eugene Jarecki, flew in from Europe especially to appear at the Sundance Sunset Cinema in west Hollywood. Jarecki's documentary suggests that efforts by the US government to fight drug trafficking are doomed to failure, and that a new approach should be adopted.

"My drug days have long since passed," Pitt told the Hollywood Reporter. "But I could probably land in any American city and within 24 hours find whatever you want. But we still support this charade called the drug war. We spent a trillion dollars over 40 years and a lot of people have lost their lives over it."

Pitt said he had become involved in the film because "the subject has bugged me for a long time". He added: "It's a backward strategy. It makes no sense and we keep going on the path like we're winning, when it perpetuates more drugs being used."

Já li em algum lugar que o Bad Trip é grower -- e dos bons.

E como bom maconheiro e individuo minimamente inteligente, não considera a maconha uma droga. Daí ter dito: "My drug days have long since passed,"

Ele eu acredito que tenha parado. Ate hj ele fala em entrevistas que ja fumou bastante mais ja foi o tempo dele, mas ainda sempre se mostra a favor da causa.
