now available to view online, was first released quite a while ago
I would not recommend it if you are jaded about pot documentaries because it adds nothing really new.
It seems more homey, amateur, and appeals to the everyman. Pot documentaries seem pretty formulaic now. Political lies, pharmaceuticals, jails, medical marijuana testimonies, celebrity activists/spokesmen, and hemp saving the world are all in there.

what else is there to do a documentary on about other than all that anyway? It's how most potheads feel about the subject and it's the issues at hand that spread throughout the community. Simple things like in the mid-late 1800s if you were a farmer in Virginia and did not grow Hemp you could be fined and or arrested for failing to do so, because they needed the materials & then clothing for the civil war. Then Nixon needed a way to fight the hippies and 99.0% of hippies smoked weed openly and wore pot leaf emblazed shirts so they were easy to pick out with they're long and nappy hair and peaceful ways..
My biggest bone is w/ the DEA arresting the sick. You can read the DEA say that they do not target individuals, but if individuals themselves are sick & know others who are sick and grow for others in a communion like situation, that person is now still "trafficking" and "producing" and everyone down the line could get busted too depending on that local DEAs budget issues. If a gov. agency needs to keep they're budget up & are told if they do not do more they will be cut due to lack of need, they will produce results someway, somehow.
I know people who have been arrested in a row, from producer to transporter to patients; in a medical state. It's a sad world, but, they "do not target individuals" yea yea yea bullshit.. The funny thing, is the producer was the husband, the transporter the wife, and then the folks who purchased w/ proper ID.
It's sic man.
