Summary: This film explores the history of the American government's official policy on marijuana in the 20th century. Rising with nativist xenophobia with Mexican immigration and their taste for smoking marijuana, we see the establishment of a wrong headed federal drug policy as a crime issue as oppposed to a public health approach. Fuelled by prejudice, hysterical propaganda and political opportunism undeterred by voices of reason on the subject, we follow the story of a costly and futile crusade against a substance with questionable ill effects that has damaged basic civil liberites.

Real eyes realize real lies. Even as a small child in the 60's and early 70's my friends and I knew that the governments propaganda campaign was a lie. This movie exposes some of those controlling tactics.

Enjoyable and interesting documentary that makes good use of satirical techniques to really show you just how absurd the demonizing of marijuana is. Still I found that the significant amount of "camp factor" in the documentary to be a bit too much for me to really into the film but it's still worth seeing.

Interesting well paced informative look at the laws & perceptions governing marijuana in the US over the last century, without banging the viewer over the head with agenda or propaganda. Actually the movie was about propaganda.
