If you smoke, DO NOT WATCH.

This is what you get when you scoop the bottom of the smokers barreland get them to make a pro marijuana documentary.Let me just say these are the people the conservative types are afraidwe'll become if MJ is legalized. The majority of the first half focuseson a dispensary that has been recently raided. The owner is outragedthat all his inventory has been stolen and his place of businessransacked. Obviously anyone in the owners shoes would be distraught andwould bring this to the courts, but what we later learn is said ownerhad previously been raided and decided to reopen to "stick it to theman". So with no leg to stand on legally, the lawyers basically laughin his face or give him awkward looks while he rambles on aboutfreedom. The footage is very awkward to watch, his moments make thepeople around him uncomfortable as well as the viewer.I struggled to take anyone seriously in this documentary. Seriously, apriest that smokes weed with his loser looking friends, then films alittle skit with some old woman which results in him jumping her.If anything this film made me question why I smoke. I don't want to endup being 40, rambling on uncontrollable or being a douche bag priestthat wears baggy cheap suits to be cool. (IT WASN'T COOL IN THE 90s,ITS NOT COOL NOW.) I'd suggest to anyone who smokes looking for adocumentary, that brings new evidence to the case of legalizing ourbeloved drug, to steer clear of this piece of dog .

Very educational concerning the history of marijuana, prohibition, and what we are facing today. Real life accounts of DEA raid victims, doctors, patients, lawyers, cancer survivors, pharmaceutical victims. Informational, inspirational.

Highly Educational, funny, and moving look into the modern Hemp Movement

Not your typical "stoner" movie, Kevin Booth's newest documentary onthe varied and complex issues in the hemp movement showcases the mostrecent, hot-off-the-presses, real-life situations involved in the movefor hemp/ cannabis re-legalization, and deserves national attention.It's high production quality and in-depth, respectful, and honest lookinto the lives of the people this issue affects, puts it well above thebar of marijuana joke movies. This is an issue that is far tooimportant for people to sit back on any longer. Kevin's film reflectsthe humanity behind an often demonized and misunderstood, healing, andpossibly economic panacea herb -- Cannabis marijuana, hemp. Used to belegal. Should be again! Great, educational, funny, and moving movie.Peace. S

How Weed Won The West

"How Weed Won the West" sheds light on the issues surrounding the legalization of marijuana. It presents a detailed outline of each parties' thoughts and outlooks on the legalization of this widely controversial drug. California farmers, DEA members and various members of law enforcement voice their opinions on whether or not marijuana should be legalized. One of the most interesting aspects of the film is the information given about the Dark Alliance, which is a group that works with drug cartels and dealers to regulate the amount of drugs coming into the USA. This film was interesting because it represented the points of view of many different members of the country - from former drug dealers to activists. We also see the filmmaker, Booth, test out the drug in order to demonstrate its effects on the human body. It offers a true look into just how controversial marijuana use has become and how often it is debated within our country each day.

A Powerful and Funny Film

I had to take a little time to rereview this film as I know several ofthe peeps in it and it is a subject close to my heart (lungs). So ifthis were just a random film about something I cared nothing about Iwould still be super impressed and moved by the film-making andstoryline. The weaving of stories from Jeff and his dog Scabs and CraigX to the Mexican guys in NorCal growing and the wrestler recouping fromher issues is flawless and entertaining. The music is hip and flowswell and Kevins first hand involvement and narration is easy to followand connect with. What really touched me was the Alex Jonescommentaries sprinkled throughout giving the Cali Herb issue nationaland global significance, putting the issue in perspective for manyoutside the ganja scene. Please see this film and show it to anyone youknow who dosen't "get it" about "Hemp Saving the Planet", because itcan and this is how it begins. There are many light, funny moments inthis flick but it is a serious look at one of the premier issues of ourday. Good job Kevin!

Marijuana is an illegal flower...really? cmon

This review is from: How Weed Won the West (Amazon Instant Video) NIce video. I loved this film and all other documentaries and features about legalizing and regulating drug trade. It's just suprising to see how many people in leadership do not have any common sense about a flower. Isn't that where other "legal" prescription drugs come from, the earth? I am just counting down the days until the people overthrow our government. I am giving all this to God because I know He cares about His people on earth and about specifically our health and being healthy! Merry Christmas and Godbless! PrAISE JESUS~Shaun's movie corner!
