This trailer is horrible. It makes it look like this documentary is some kind of action packed crime story. There is some GREAT information in this documentary, historically, economically, and it provides great insights on solutions and benefits to the plant. Trust me people, this Documentary is MUCH more positive than this lame trailer makes it out to be. Watch it, and become aware, in a positive way.

[TillThenPlease]

@KittyOnFireRecords - LOL! For someone talking about how this video should have been done in a more positive way, you're sure expressing yourself with a lot of negativity. Your last statement finishes with "..become aware, in a positive way" and it's preceded with statements like "This trailer is horrible." and "... this lame trailer..." You may be making a valid point from your point of view, but the cynicism in your approach to expressing it is rather ironic. LOL

[KittyOnFireRecords]

@TillThenPlease

Yeah, I guess your right. lol

[WakeUpAndLegalizeIt]

@KittyOnFireRecords you're right, this trailer is terrible compared to the sheer GREATNESS that is The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. The trailer doesn't even begin to convey this amazing documentary. Watch it for yourselves.

[ChargersFanForLyfe]

Every single person living on the god damn earth should just give some of their time to open their eyes and watch this and maybe also super high me. They can not deny 100% true facts and that is what these movies bring about marijuana. It would be pathetic to deny it.

[soukoden]

Weed, the medicine nature intended.

[padly88]

NOBODY DIED BECAUSE OF SMOKING MARIHUANA, SOME DILLERS GET KILLED AND THATS ALL! SO STOP FUCKING AROUD!

[vistadude123]

great movie, but why don't i see it in HD on blu ray?

[Ddsouza]

I don't care what anyone has to say..I'm grinding my weed and hitting my bong hard for the rest of my life!! PS: Im doing a phd on scholarship..so fockh you "anti-weed, scared of living life..umm motherfockhs!"=)

[JDSproducitons]

I support pot, but choose not to. I do drink but for the reason that I have restraint. Many Marijuana users are high all the time because you can't O.D. on it. The result is not doing shit day by day. This of course is not everybody but just an observation. I live in CA and I'm going to vote for its legalization because it would be a great source of income for the state. It's basically legal. All I have to do is go to a doctor and tell him my back hurts to get a card.

[Xrazor4Games93]

@JDSproducitons no its not that easy dude...

[kage009]

Legalize! Fuck those greedy bastards in the government and fuck the Cartels!

[MrBad357]

they should just say hell with it and make it legal

[sheemsheem]

mexico is the largest supplier of weed to america, plus meth and 70-90% of cocaine...there making hundreds of billions annualy and the CIA is in it too

[cripysmoka]

weed is ilegal because over time it can change ur mind... when you get high you become open minded and contemplate stuff that you wouldnt normally think about....once enoufe time has past your views change..sum people begin to understand that all you need is health and not shit to spend $ on..its illeagal because its anti-establshiment, with time it breaks all the brain washing peolpe have done..thinking for urself is scary to the goverment.

[hvezda30]

thank you professor......

[RealCaHipHop]

Check out the soundtrack....shits HOT!!

[DoOrDie83]

jackaroo,nice comment,so true

[darkdante2534]

marijuana itself does not cause death but it produces it i mean the mexican drug lords in juarez mexico are murdering hundreds of people just to be able to trafic their number one drug marijuana look it up. marijuana is actually very good but there are people who take advantage and kill for it

[prahfit619]

see that would be stopped in an instant if it would become legal

[nicomurder]

that why it should be legalized, no more mexican crimelords!

[raptor539]

@darkdante2534 true, but if it became legal they wouldn't need to commit the crimes that they do.

[narwaal]

you`re kidding right?thats some bullshit joke right?(sgtsnakeeyes11)if not you`re a pathetic excuse for a head...and have no business smokin' it,if you don`t support it.I guess you have some kinda immune disorder or congenital weakness..I reccomend seeing a genetisist.don`t post comments bashin weed,when you being a head don`t know what you`re sayin.you make the reality this film presents as incredulous...which its not..its just the facts,the truth.

datte bayo!

[excop6467]

Can you please show me these studies? I would love to read them. Or are you just saying this without doing any research yourself?

[excop6467]

The studies I've read and they say very different

CANNABIS: Our Position for a Canadian Public Policy (2002 Canadian Senate) The Consumers Union Report on Licit and illicit Drugs (1972 United States) The LaGuardia Committee Report (1944 New York) The Shafer Report (1972 United States)

[jlaw8420]

(sgtsnakeeyes11)-Yes I've heard of cancer. Can you show me one case of a cannabis only smoker that has lung cancer or emphysema? Go ahead, I'll wait. Did you know that cannabis does not require radioactive fertalizer like the tobacco industry. Thats where you get your cancer from. Tobacco wouldnt kill so many if they didnt add so much shit to it. There is over a hundred checmicals added to ciggaretts that they by law do not have to reveal to the public. Cannabis his many cannabinoids not toxins.

[Xrazor4Games93]

@jlaw8420 the THC which contains cannabinoids have Anti-tumor effects, and does not cause lung cancer because it has a protective effect on the cells in the lung :) so you´re right.

[TheDivineAberration]

@sgtsnakeeyes11 well done troll, you got the potheads raging.

[Amarkcalledme]

@sgtsnakeeyes11 Marijuana has never killed anyone in it's 10,000 year history of use.

Marijuana has anti-carcinogenic properties, and is nowhere near a toxic or addictive as tobacco, caffeine or alcohol.

Marijuana stimulates brain cell growth by up to 40%, improving learning memory, and reducing anxiety and depression. I have have evidence for this, and would be more than happy to send you links to the studies.. what evidence do you have?

[sgtsnakeeyes11]

@Amarkcalledme send these studies

[coho11111]

@Amarkcalledme i would love to see those studies as well

[Yankees4ev3r]

The First Time I got really baked, i had really bad side effects. I got numb all over started twitching, and bugging out. I guess my body was not use to the thc

[XxNostroxX]

Everyone has different experience, the first time is often a turn off for most people, the second and third time definitely got more relaxing for me. Tip: if you don't smoke regularly don't mix cigarettes and marijuana

[lalonesekyah]

I can't recall a time that I regreted a decision while enjoying the medicinal (anti-anxiety/relaxant)benefit­s of marijuana. However, I have repeatedly witnessed poor outcomes as a result of alcohol use. We've permitted our government to control every aspect of our lives. I certainly find many of their choices made, hypocritical, unconstitutional, & wrong. This is the least of our worries. I'm still trying to figure out when we the people decided to let the government make our decisions for us.

[Jfroese2007]

Hopefully this movie can open some peoples eyes.

[soukoden]

@Jfroese2007 Lol, it's opened all the eyes of those who've watched it. Those who don't watch it are in denile. Lol @ Americans/Uneducated fuckups.

[Jfroese2007]

@soukoden I'm not sure if you're trying to insult me, or the people who are against weed. Regardless, different people have different opinions, but I know for a fact that marijuana is harmless in moderation, but it will do harm if you smoke it every day. Much like alcohol, or even caffeine.

[soukoden]

@Jfroese2007 Fuck no, I don't insult people over the net because it doesn't matter over the internet. Those are ego over the internet are pussies (aka they scared to show their face LOL), and yes, people have opinions, but for such a thing that you need to smoke 15,000 joints in the span of 5 minutes to get a slight toxic overdose? Like come on, let's open our eyes please... =_=

[Elizabetherb]

@Jfroese2007 no, no it won't....have you ever tried something called research? maybe look up the word science in the dictionary...good luck

[Xrazor4Games93]

@Jfroese2007 if cannabis cures cancer and a lots of other deseases, then why should it be harmful at any point, cant you see that it is made for us human.

[TheStoopidFun]

god made weed man made beer who do you trust ?

[DrTabarnak]

@TheStoopidFun neither

[sheemsheem]

@TheStoopidFun none oph the al3ove

[TigerSquriell]

@TheStoopidFun But man made god.

[SoreAscent]

@TheStoopidFun I trust man :P

[garshogal]

@TheStoopidFun Atheist Rebuttal To this:

"Well, I would go ahead and trust the right-minded."

Though, Its still fantastic! =D

[DasGinge420]

TheStoopidFun there is no god marijuana evolved to be the way it is just like everthing else

[thenewbeginning8]

honestly anyone who thinks marijuana should be illegal fore the reasons the government has laid down upon this country should hang themselves

PLAIN AND SIMPLE

Weed- o deaths per year

Tobacco and alcohol- Shit load of people dead

what is really the danger here?

WAKE UP. this movie woke me up and i did a lot of research. it's true. this country has been blinded.

[jackaroo59]

Any government that says we are "One Nation Under God" and then also says I cannot grow and consume a "God-Given" plant, is no longer "Under God", rather making themselves equal to or above "God"

[joelsdollar]

Can anyone find me a joint ( medical use - of course ) ??  I know it is around me , but fear of law makes it difficult to locate, even minor amount. Any suggestions -pls. forward.. peace

[TheSlothify]

Dude, the streets man, the streets..

[Jfroese2007]

Ask around, It really isn't that hard to find some marijuana. Hell, you can order the seeds online.

[scoreG]

PDFA (Partnership For a Drug Free America) as well as pharmaceutical firms Bristol Meyers-Squibb, Merck & Company and Proctor & Gamble; an issue which has been linked to the organization's lack of media discouraging the misuse of legal drugs.

[scoreG]

PDFA was the subject of criticism when it was revealed by Cynthia Cotts of the Village Voice that their federal tax returns showed that they had received several million dollars worth of funding from major pharmaceutical, tobacco and alcohol corporations including American Brands (Jim Beam whiskey), Philip Morris (Marlboro and Virginia Slims cigarettes, Miller beer), Anheuser Busch (Budweiser, Michelob, Busch beer), R.J. Reynolds (Camel, Salem, Winston cigarettes).

[SpeedySnackJr]

FIRST of ALL , get your facts correct . marijuana is now 7% stronger and why? because now us men put just a little more of a chemical into THC so its stronger (THAT RIGHT THERE IS A DRUG) BUT the weed without the 7% added is legal but is only for usage of patients in deppresion and body aches . PERIOD ! XD

[HellowMotttto]

Oh, no duh!

I am not talking about street marijuana or even illegal marijuana..

When it becomes legall it will probally be called a drug since it will probally be in drug stores and people would also add chemicals to it to make it stronger

[SacredCowStreetTeam]

If you liked The Union, search Youtube for "How Weed Won the West"

[HellowMotttto]

weed isnt a drug..

Period..

Its naturall..

[rmx229]

it is a drug you dumbass

[HellowMotttto]

hey dumbass, learn your shit... drug is something that is man made

example:Cocain, they use house cleaners and the cocoa plant leave...

Weed:You just pick out the herb when its ready and dry it out for around 48 hours...

No chemicals are used..

The goverment just labeled it that so it can get a bad rep and get illegal..

Dumbass..

[rmx229]

its a drug........... -_-

[HellowMotttto]

no its not

-.-

[HellowMotttto]

How is it a drug?

What makes it a drug?

Do you know?

Well i do...

Like i said, a drug is man made just like perscription drugs...

[jenn1ifer]

its a drug becuase it is mind altering. and alot of crimes that have been commited by criminals were under the influence of marijuana and or tested positive for it when in prison.

[HellowMotttto]

You are completely wrong...

Marijuana does not make you want to commit crimes

It makes you wanna lay on a couch, then eat, then go to sleep...

If people want to commit crimes it is becouse they where like that before they smoked it..

[HellowMotttto]

Weed has been growing for over 10,000 years without the help of man...

And before it was illegal it was not called a drug...

-_-

[TheStephenKnight]

A drug is any substance that can be used to treat an illness, relieve a symptom, or modify a chemical process or processes in the body.

The term "drug" is necessarily a vague one, being defined by intent: for example, foods consumed for normal metabolism are not generally considered "drugs", but the same foods consumed for a more specific purpose (such as the use of alcohol as a depressant or caffeine as a stimulant) may be.

[quest47484748]

jennifer sounds like she has a drunk driving arrest in her future.

[mrmom442]

I would bet that Jenn1ifer is just a teenager and misinformed. President reagan and Bush brought in millions of tons of Cocaine into this country back in the 80's. Ever hear of Iran Contra????? Look it up. Pres. Bush and Bush 2 did the same thing back in the late 80's and early 90's thru the CIA. Also we have the HUGE Heroin problem here, and all the Heroin comes from Afghanistan, WE are in Afghanastan right now. How do you think all the smack gets here, I dont have planes, you dont have planes

[jenn1ifer]

i love president bush "acceptance of drug use is just not acceptable in this administration!" im putting up red ribbons in all the elementary schools in my disrtirct on their fenches. red ribbons stand for "drug free" including drug free from marijuana.

[scoreG]

Jenn1ifer president Bush has openly admitted to using cocaine & other drugs while in collage, so that speech makes him a hypocrite. Secondly drug use in the US has steadily risen since the 70's and that's not including people addicted to antidepressants, diet pills, caffeine and pain killers (percocet,oxycodone). The US is the exact opposite of drug free. It encourages drug use, in fact it advertises drugs use on TV, just you have to use parma drugs, not street drugs, but equally as harmful

[waniamage]

stfu u bitch

[ksufool521]

well dont forget about sugar and caffine, People have died because of them, marijuana has killed no one. ill prove it to you. i will literaly try to overdose and it wont happen

[jenn1ifer]

just say no to drugs!! including marijuana

[genietulameen]

love this documentary , more people should see it !!!!

[tisstheother]

Great Job! 5 stars! :)

This film definitely deserves all of the awards and nominations they have received!

Its great to watch and easy for the less educated (on hemp/cannibus) people to understand its MANY uses and how it can save our economy and our well-being!

I only hope that others watch this and educate themselves a little. Even if you know its wonders its a great refresher and helps motivate you a little and show you how far we've come. Its coming! It will be decriminalized!

Peace:)

[DxERAx]

Definitely, buying this!!!

[jenn1ifer]

I just graduated with a bachelors degree in criminal justice and a minor in political science. and now im going to get a masters degree on narcotics, and I am about to get employed by the DEA and i will work hard to be one of the head DEA agents in the U.S. and become a congressman and keep the drug marijuana illegal and arrest as many people as i possibly can for violating marijauna laws. my goal is to have the most arrest than any other federal officer! im very serious and motivated.

[excop6467]

If you plan on becoming a congressman jenn1ifer, you should first learn how to write properly " have the most arrest than any other federal officer" lol " to have more arrests (plural) than any other officer" you probably will become a DEA agent though, you'll fit right in. But DEA members are called agents not officers, you still have a lot of studying to do, good luck!!

[dedrickvizier]

you should seriously consider learning English first.

[0Xenfire0]

fuck off you useless fuck.

[vansgonzo]

why?

[kingofcatastrophe21]

fuck you

[Nibulis]

it will be so ironic when a drug dealer shoots your ass. bing that drug dealers only need guns because its illegal.

[redgoldangreen]

sniff my butt

[bigpaul420er]

fuck you jennifer ya will never bust me liitle biitch

[jenn1ifer]

the NSA can read the time off ur watch from satellites. u think u can outsmart the FBI DEA or the federal government? the federal government is the biggest emplyer in the U.S. if they want to stop u and arrest you for years in prison with felonies they can. but if i see u smoking weed, i will call the police. and testifiy against you in court. i hope u get a random drug test and lose ur job, and get arrested for being under the finluuce while driving, go to jail,

[bigpaul420er]

what a stupid cunt

[HellowMotttto]

lol ''if'' you call the cops on me, wanna bet ill beat your ass?

xD

[rmx229]

you're the reason weed is illegal

[HellowMotttto]

Why?

Becouse i know more than you?

[rmx229]

no because i smoke weed everyday

[HellowMotttto]

that makes no sence what so ever..

Just because you smoke weed everyday means that im the reason weed is illegal?

Educate yourself please...

I smoke weed almost everyday..

Does that mean that your the reason its illegal?

Your dumb...

[rmx229]

im toking up right now sweety.. i puff the magic dragon who lived by the sea

[jenn1ifer]

you would go to jail for possesson of a schedule 1 drug, and being under the influence of a controlled mind altering substance, and maybe even DUI. i would go to court and testify against you with the DA, and i'd also tell the court and judge that you tried to intimidate me and threaten violence on me for calling the police and testifiying agasint you as credible witness to make u guilty of the felony crime. I'd also get a restraining order on you.

[HellowMotttto]

And i will call the cops on you for being a totall dumbass and being ignorent...

[jenn1ifer]

are all drug users like you violent and hostile? no wonder itds a drug. you proved my case.

[HellowMotttto]

Learn how to spell and maybe i will take you more seriously...

Are all ignorent people like you dumb?

Or do you work at beign dumb?

[bilbreezyy]

@HellowMottto- Learn how to spell? You spelled IGNORANT and BEING wrong. So before you go and try to act all cool on youtube (we all know you dont have any friends) maybe you should learn how to spell. You petty faced little goon.

[Ghostkilla1896]

HA, look who cant even do a simple bong hit..

Hold it in faggot...

And btw..

I am cool...

Therefore thats why i have friends and you are a lonely fagg...

Your just a wannabe, read my other comments dip shit...

(Im hellowmotttto)

[Ghostkilla1896]

@bilbreezyy- it sounds like your anti weed or just too much of a lazy fagg to read my other comments....

[jenn1ifer]

[bigpaul420er]

dis biitch is way out of her pea brain

[MUGGS077]

im getting this, ASAP!

[JonahKai111]

WoW, just finished watching this film and I must say I am grateful and impressed. I had resistance to watching it because I thought it might exploit stereotypical "stoners" and growers, but it was actually a documentary done with alot of insight and education.

[Zellps0]

bought it today yay

[stillvious]

I have seen this film and have to say that it is the most inspiring and entertaining film of this generation. We as a nation must change the laws that govern the usage and cultavation of this harmless plant. I suffer from cronic pain in my bowels and one of the only things that assists in the relief of my pain.

Thank you everyone that assisted in the making and distibution of this information. The more education we have regarding this topic the better the chances of reform.

-Spencer Calvert
