Drunken States Of America - DUI


For millions of Americans, the Labor Day weekend is the last big party of the summer.

For the cops and emergency medical teams of Maricopa County, Arizona - like their counterparts across the U.S. – it can mean chaos, blood, and violence.

Drunken States of America premieres on Thursday 28 June at 9pm and follows the mayhem that can be attributed to mostly one thing: alcohol!

Too many Labor Day revellers cross the line between a good time and dangerous intoxication.

The consequences can be severe, ranging from physical injuries to prison.

Cities Balk as Federal Law on Marijuana Is Enforced


Faced with growing chaos in the state’s medical marijuana industry, this city in Northern California passed an ordinance in 2008 that meticulously detailed, over 11 pages, how the drug could be grown and sold here.

Humboldt Medical Supply, a dispensary here in Humboldt County regarded as a law-abiding model that has given free cannabis to elderly patients, became the first to obtain a permit in 2010. The Sai Center, whose owner has a history of flouting city regulations and was described by the mayor as running his business “purely for profit,” was rejected last year.
