‘THE War on the War on Drugs” strings together 60 amateurish short films to tell us drugs are cool, man.

Director Cevin Soling’s sense of humor is as dull as bong water, though. He uses clay figures, crude animation and parodies of public service spots to repeat familiar stoner arguments (George Washington was a hemp grower) and non sequiturs (Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t do drugs) that sound as if they were devised in a smoky basement as someone noodled with a Pink Floyd song.

Soling seems to be interested mainly in marijuana, but he thinks heroin and LSD are groovy, too.
