Grass Is Greener

Mostly this documentary is about Music and Cannabis and its history in the USA and some cultures that use it, like rastafarians in Jamaica , but this documentary skips some music and other cultures , like the skip the La Cucaracha song, and the drink Bhang in India , they also skip the court case 'Leary v. United States' were the courts found Marijuana prohibition tax act unconstitutional in 1970 , and it became legal for a year until congress passed the controlled substance act in 1971. If Fred would have included this in his documentary i would have given it a 10 rating .

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.

This is a great docu to watch for insider knowledge of the history of WEED and WHITE privilege, enjoy

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

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.
