Over the Edge - The Lure of Smuggling B.C. Bud

"On February 23, 2009, 24-year-old Sam Brown of British Columbia was arrested by U.S. authorities in Washington State as he landed a helicopter he had piloted across the border. Sam's crime: he was attempting to smuggle almost 200 kilograms (440lbs) of marijuana, "B.C. Bud".

In "Over the Edge", Linden MacIntyre takes us into the world of drug smuggling in B.C. and the role in it of young people like Sam Brown.

Young people like to take risks, some more than others, such is life and we can't change that. However, we can do away with the prohibition laws (and thus the big money involved) that cause the enticement for one to enter this business in the first place. Or would we rather keep putting young people like Sam Brown into prison? What good has that ever done before?

That's what happens in this evil democracy we run with capitalism. Believe it or not but in the end capitalism is pure evil.
