ReviewsSalon.com - Despite its slick packaging and overtly facetious premise, director Matthew Cooke and producer Adrian Grenier's faux-educational documentary HOW TO MAKE MONEY SELLING DRUGS packs a wallop., NPR - ...an ambitious, creative attempt to talk in a single film about everything from the disparate treatment of black and white dealers to the influence of asset forfeiture on law-enforcement strategies to the devastation of Mexico's drug war., Village Voice - It's a smart, funny, tough-minded film crammed with data and personal anecdotes, each illuminating the other, each sketching in the staggering costs-and not just financial-of the ways authorities in this country have shaped the drug issue. It's far from glib.
