Show how the hypocresy that americam white people deal with drugs

This documentary really outlines the history of cannabis in America. It really explores the cultures and art that weed fostered, explaining with great detail the motivations behind political and cultural movements that followed its introduction to the US. It does well applying that cultural lens to understand the ongoing issues faced by many communities ravaged by the war on drugs. A solid documentary and worth a watch.

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

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 .
