Grass
Marijuana is the most controversial drug of the twentieth century. Smoked by generations of musicians, students and workers to little discernible ill effect, it continues to be reviled by the vast majority of governments around the world.
With his new film, Grass, veteran filmer Ron Mann brings his impeccable historical facility and story telling skills to recount how a relatively harmless drug has been demonized for decades. With a rueful yet incisive script, deft editing and an impressive soundtrack featuring original songs by Mark Mothersbaugh and a veritable pot-pourri of tunes ranging from the Swing Era’s “Reefer Man” through Dylan’s “Rainy Day Women” to the hippie lament “One Toke Over The Line,” Ron Mann’s Grass boasts extraordinary production values.
Funny yet political, Grass charts the terrible loss in imprisoned lives and billions of dollars wasted fighting a drug that refuses to go away. (Excerpt from sphinxproductions.com)

This movie was garbage. Who wants to watch a documentary on a waste of tax dollars and foolish presidents. Might as well watch Dum and Dummererer.
for a really great documentary on marijuana watch “The Union: The Business Behind Getting High”
I disagree! We need documentaries like this, so that the public can be informed & learn from the past! Perhaps you were expecting them to bash marijuana & confirm the public’s general idea that it is inherently evil, or bad? Maybe you were looking for a trippy stoner film? I don’t use marijuana, but I think it’s important to learn about things like this, because there are untapped uses of cannabis, especially from the medical perspective! The public needs to be informed, so that people can begin to take their time & develop their own opinions, instead of just believing everything that’s spoon fed to them!
GREAT FILM! Very informative & worth the watch if you’re looking to learn from the past!
wtf the first guys a f**, the second guy doesn’t know what the f*** he’s talking about and the third guys a nerd. From a stoners point of view that movie was awesome in every way man f*** the rest of you
Weed rocks, f*** Nixon and Bush!
This is just hilarious! I cannot believe that people in the US actually believed such **** about grass.
The Police chief (Bob Conland, commander of detective bureau of narcotics)calling weed smokers sick, as he puffs away at his cigarette, obviously does know that far more people die each year of cigarettes than marijuana.
Another ***** says China under the nationalistic govt had the situation pretty much under control with a thousand executions a year.
Life imprisonment for possession of marijuana? A Vietnam Vet and war hero getting 50 years? Just plain ridiculous and how in the hell can smoking weed undermine national security?
An excellent documentary that shows just how corrupt the US government is and how they lie to their public on a continual basis.
hey weed should be legal its natural and therfore should be legal i am 30 and i have been smoking since 13 yrs old iv have a job a farm and a n autoshop tell me wat could be bad about weed legalize it dont critisize it peter tosh say so
Marijuana is illegal because it would destroy the oil industry and the pharmeceutical industry overnight if it was legalised. It has a wide range of uses not least of which is the fact that THC9, one of the main active ingredients, can cause remission of tumours when injected directly into the bloodstream, as discovered during the 70′s. Of course it will never be legalised, why would corrupt governments legalise a panecea that you can grow for free in your backyard? There have been NO recorded deaths from Marijuana, unlike alcohol, the most socially destructive drug on the planet, BAR NONE.
“Do me a favor, if you believe that drugs have not done good things for us…go home tonight and take all of your tapes and all of your CDs and BURN THEM. You want to know why? All of those artists and all of those musicians who made all of that great music, that has enhanced your lives through out the years…r r r r r rrrrRRRRRRRRRRRREAL f*ckin’ high on drugs!” -Bill Hicks

When you get right down to it, most of the supporters of marijuana know from first hand experience that it’s harmless, whereas the people bashing it know f*ck all except what they’ve heard.
Whats with the drugfreeworld.org add on this page? ^^
how bout we order chineas? order chineas to do what? lol
What a freaking joke, America home of the free. I can think of a thousand better uses for all that money thats spent on the supossed war against dope lmao. How about we start with education, make it leagal, control it, tax it, and offer treatment for addicts that want and need it. Then with all the left over money lets feed and house our less fortunate folks. Ohh I forgot, that would be the responcible thing to do, and the fat cats would not be able to make any money doing the right thing. OK then lets just put all of our drug users, including alcolhol drinkers, and cigerrett smokers to death. There problem solved.
Catdagger1 Perfect.! use it dont abuse it lol
