Grass Is Greener

It pretty much all comes down to racism. With hip-hop, weed got more associated with black/hispanic people. Some interesting facts, but could've been better. Clearly biased, but damn rotting in jail for small amount of weed is infuriating to see. America's relationship with drugs will always be complex no matter how huge weed is in popular culture.

The lesson you should never forget is this: always consume with MODERATION.

II feel I'm like quite a few folks not having a strongly formed opinion about marijuana. This film is like a quick education about changing times and long held misconceptions based on early 20th century propaganda. I feel after watching it I've been duped by one huge movement with several early evil agendas. That doesn't even address the trail of tears of ruined lives as collateral damage. This doc is pro-legalization, but it is balanced enough not to be dismissed. I have to say it raises some very powerful points. I think the most important take-away is it is been made much worse for our society as a whole by draconian laws based on many lies. The way it has transpired for almost 80+ years has been more advantageous to large criminal enterprise while exacting a high cost on society, in particular disproportionately within certain communities. Now things are changing and like the film says we still have a long way to go. These facts make this an entertaining, but sobering, look at the particular point in our history in which we find ourselves at the doorstep for a better future. Keep the lies out this time in order to not repeat with another mess. See it and form your own opinion.

Its not an objective presentation on the case of using the weed, its more of biased kind of historical recollection on the drug,racism, and the drugwar as a political weapon in neo modern american history. its darn well made, and when i watcehd it i used 6 hours,due to derailments and crashing into other websites and the wiki to make sense of things, and i now know everything about industrial hemp, and the ''hemp for victory'' slogan of 1942.

thank you for this docu, its strange,honest and very subjective to the positiveness of jive or reffer or weed or what itsa called. im sure its a good pain reliever, and would cry out loud for all of us struggling the excrusiating pain and agony of fibromyalgia and myopathia, that dies from the sideeffects of paracetamol and whatever prescribed medication, let them have it, is the last outcry from the grumpy old man

Show how the hypocresy that americam white people deal with drugs

The main idea of it is established at the beginning. It invites you to watch it from the perspective of the ones that had suffered it the most regarding consumption of marihuana. It shows you historic facts that help the viewer to understand the problematic behind its demonization. This particular documentary handles a very complex topic. It should be noted that is not about if drugs are good or bad, if this one or that one needs to be legalize, it is about understanding that the political motivations behind it. You may agree on this o not, but certainly it should not affect how you would rate this documentary.
