Those well-educated on the subject might not necessarily learn anything new here but but many if not all of the important arguments advocating Marijuana legislation are compiled in this clear and intelligent documentary. An unfortunate tendency to slip into over-the-top hippy bias means it's still unlikely to convert some of the more conservative viewers, which is a shame because this could've been looked back upon as a very important piece of its time. Perhaps it still might.

obviously there are going to be biases, nevertheless the message is there.

Well-made, well-paced, but I get depressed watching this documentary knowing how little it will change policy. You have to sadly acknowledge the mass of people who think "Marijuana is wrong because it's illegal" no matter the evidence.

Is it extremely biased? Of course it is. And in most other cases, I'd spend this mini-review bashing this documentary for being so.

Marijuana documentaries are the SHIT right now. This one defines "preaching to the choir." No attempt to reach out to mainstream society.

The problem with this documentary, and ones like it, is that the only people who will search this out aren't going to learn anything that common sense hasn't figured out for itself. I don't think that any of those idiots who voted for Reagan (the people who actually need to see it) are going to be very interested in this. It's put together well though.

Could be biased, but as this is the 5th or 6th film like this I've seen I'd say its pretty accurate. Now where's the anti-marijuana movie?

7/8/9 - Entertaining, informative, well put together, good range of interviews and covers all the topics well, using experts in lots of fields. The interview with the MS sufferer is amazing.

Probably the most moderate approach taken by documentary based on cannabis I've seen (minus Joe Rogan). The host however, seemed more awkward on camera than the stance Californian laws take in upholding prohibition.

Interesting, but spends more time acting as an apologist for marijuana than explaining how 'the union' works. In fact, it seems to only get a brief blurb. Then again, there is a disclaimer saying the topic is very broad.

Marijuana is sooo dangerous. If you even think about it you'll DIE AND BURRRRN. I have a serious crush on some of the people who were interviewed. Anyway, this doc is pretty good, gives a pretty good insight of how dumb some people/laws are

Entertaining and Informative. Joe Rogan was funny while making strong points.
