Sex, Drugs & Democracy is a Jonathan Blank film that explores how issues such as prostitution and narcotics are treated in the Netherlands. There prostitution is legal, but regulated to maintain health standards and prevent exploitation of prostitutes. Also, marijuana is openly sold in some 2000 licensed coffee shops and used by people 18 and older without interference from law enforcement.



The documentary presents interviews on these and other issues with the Amsterdam police commissioner, the president of the Royal Academy of Arts & Sciences, the national director of Alcohol, Tobacco & Drug Policy, a judge, a female senator, Public Health Department officials, a government hemp agronomist, feminists, psychologists, sociologists, economists, attorneys, and others. All the people interviewed stress that they are trying to take a pragmatic approach to the full range of issues where government regulates personal behavior, including nudity, sex education, pornography, homosexuality, abortion, and euthanasia, as well as prostitution and drugs.
