Plot summary

Weed. Marijuana. Grass. Pot. Whatever you prefer to call it, America’s relationship with cannabis is a complicated one. In his directorial debut, hip hop pioneer Fab 5 Freddy presents an unparalleled look at the racially biased history of the war on marijuana. A range of celebrities and experts discuss the plant’s influence on music and popular culture, and the devastating impact its criminalization has had on Black and Latino communities. As more and more states join the push to legalize marijuana, this documentary dives deep into the glaring racial disparities in the growing cannabis market.

it's a good documentary but it misses some important history

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 .

Things you already know, but it's entertaining.

It pretty much all comes down to racism. With hip-hop, weed got more associated with black/hispanic people. Some interesting facts, but could've been better. Clearly biased, but damn rotting in jail for small amount of weed is infuriating to see. America's relationship with drugs will always be complex no matter how huge weed is in popular culture.The lesson you should never forget is this: always consume with MODERATION.

Well made documentary

The main idea of it is established at the beginning. It invites you to watch it from the perspective of the ones that had suffered it the most regarding consumption of marihuana. It shows you historic facts that help the viewer to understand the problematic behind its demonization. This particular documentary handles a very complex topic. It should be noted that is not about if drugs are good or bad, if this one or that one needs to be legalize, it is about understanding that the political motivations behind it. You may agree on this o not, but certainly it should not affect how you would rate this documentary.
