How Weed Won The West part 7

In the follow-up to his ground-breaking documentary 'American Drug War,' filmmaker Kevin Booth traces the fight against Federal drug regulation in the State of California. A public majority has spoken and said yes to states rights, allowing for the use of medicinal marijuana and opening up a new front in controversial medicinal 'dispensaries.' While users herald the freedom of legally-licensed "weed," powerful forces at the DEA and law enforcement haven't given up their federal enforcement power yet. Many dispensaries have been raided, targeting their distribution of marijuana and challenging their authority to rise into legitimate business. In the backdrop of this public dispute is the Dark Alliance-- where governments handle the volume of drug trafficking and work with cartels and drug dealers to manage the drug flow. Just like the prohibition of alcohol, drugs have thrived on their illicit appeal, and doomed millions of non-violent offenders to incarceration and prosecution. Now, those swearing by the healing power of medicinal marijuana as well as those who simply refuse to be outlawed by a hypocritical rogue government are daring to stand up and declare that the violence, corruption and uncontrolled flow of drugs is due to the prohibition of the substance, not the substance itself. Big Pharma has put millions of non-"drug" users on hallucinogenic prescription drugs and instituted new forms of addiction and dependency, challenging our outdated notions that is only "illegal" drugs doing harm to our people. The State of California, in a key position to assert its 10th Amendment rights under the Constitution, has pushed the issue to a tipping point. The bankrupt government hopes to capitalize on taxation of a legal and prosperous marijuana trade that could, ironically, fight off big government and offer free humanity new hope. Whether or not you love or loathe marijuana or the drug culture, everyone needs to fight for a more peaceful solution to the drug dilemma. How can we best manage the reality of drug use and minimize the harm to individuals and society at large? Clearly seventy years plus has proven that the drug war has the wrong approach. In How Weed Won the West, filmmaker Kevin Booth dares to tackle these difficult questions. He infiltrates psuedo-legal California growers, investigates DEA raids on licensed dispensaries and even undertakes to sample the disputed 'medicine' for himself. He interviews radio host Alex Jones, former drug dealers, real-life gang members, legal-weed pitch men, activists and advocates to find the truth.

they MADE me take celexa and abilify because im under 18 so i don't have a choice about shit and they said it would help me out and make me feel better, but it made me feel worse and i threw up everyday, and was stuck in a nightmare. later did i find out that anti-depressants are supposed to make you feel worse so you can't have the energy to harm yourself

[Superb677]

all i can say is the american government is the most full of shit government out there. Most ignorant people to ever walk the earth. They try and tell people whats good and what is not good but have nothing to back up what their saying. Marijuana has been proven numerous times to be non-lethal to your health. No deaths have been caused by it. How can you say something like this is bad when all it does is help people. You can smoke cancer sticks and drink but not weed... common. wake up you fucks

In my case it's the overuse of bud that increases anxiety. When I use it in moderation it works better then any aspirin for headache, relives my stress, anxiety, insomnia, anger and depression. Now I use it like i would any other med in my medicine cabinet and no side effects besides munchies. Probably the greatest thing in the existence of this planet!!!

@krich451

I suffer from anxiety and I find this to be very true. I support legalization 100%. I do not smoke the stuff anymore due to it increasing my anxiety (in my personal experience) but there is no reason for others not to enjoy its benefits.
