Great Marijuana Documentaries

I've been watching a lot of marijuana documentaries on youtube lately, and a few of the productions were way above the rest. I'd bet most of you are familiar with some, if not all, of them. I'd thought I'd share the links to these just in case, I hope you enjoy them. Feel free to post your favorites, and what you think about them...

The Union - This is probably my favorite, so I'll post the vid:

Do you guys really call our weed "The Beesterz"? lol

I have seen a bunch of them.. On youtube and netflix and even on the History chan or one of those..
I dislike the majority of angles the docs are going..
lets show stoners getting all high... and see their grows... watch the kids act like idiots.. yes that will help peoples ideas of this med..
I recall seeing one or 2 with Mark in there and even his wife talking about how ridiculous the laws are

I would love to see a real reality show where they follow the grow from start to finish and then show how they prep medibles-hash for themselves or patients.

I remember when I got the Union when it first came out. Awesome doc. that explains shit in a way anybody can understand.

That's an interesting take to have them showing mainly recreational cannabis use and kids acting goofy. I don't know if that would be beneficial, in alcohol commercials they don't show folks drunk people like idiots. Probably a reason for that. In some of these documentaries they do show grows, and Emery and his wife do speak on a couple. Grows from start to finish would be cool to see in reality format, I'll bet that's coming...

I agree, the Union is by far the best cannabis documentary I've ever seen, the followup should be out next year, I think they just started filming. The creators actually got invited to Parliament in Canada to discuss cannabis legalization or reform or whatever because of it.

Wow, I didn't know any of this. I thought it interesting to learn that Phillip Morris bought thousands of acres of land in the Emerald Triangle to hedge their bets on MJ becoming legal. Smart, I guess it's inevitable...

If you liked The Union, Adam Scrogie has another movie coming out that may be of interest to you; it's called The Culture High



The project is on kickstarted and I am happy to say I am a backer.
