Grass Is Greener

Show how the hypocresy that americam white people deal with drugs

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 .

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

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

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.
