While California is going bankrupt, one business is booming. "How Weed Won the West" is the story of the growing medical cannabis / marijuana industry in the greater Los Angeles area, with over 700 dispensaries doling out the buds. As a treatment for conditions ranging from cancer and AIDS, to anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia, cannabis is quickly proving itself as a healthier natural alternative to many prescription drugs.
Following the story of Organica, a southland dispensary which was raided by state and federal agencies in August of 2009, the film shows that although much has changed with Obama in office, the drug war is nowhere near over. From Kevin Booth, the producer/director of Showtime's "American Drug War", "How Weed Won the West" puts California forward as an example to the rest of the country by documenting how legalizing marijuana can help save the economy.
Featuring: Ethan Nadelmann (Drug Policy Alliance / DPA) Don Duncan (Americans for Safe Access / ASA, Los Angeles Patients & Caregivers Group / LAPCG ) Kyle Kazan (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition / LEAP) Alex Jones (radio host and filmmaker) Jeff Joseph (Organica Collective) Craig X Rubin (Beverly Hills Green Cross, Temple420) Jon Perri (Students for Sensible Drug Policy / SSDP) William Kroger (LA marijuana attorney) Theresa Blaylock (drug and prison counselor) Doug Stanhope (comedian) Sid Wilson (Slipknot) B Real (Cypress Hill) Lou Dog (Kottonmouth Kings) special guests and more!

Ron Paul: "Through perverse court decisions and years of cultural indoctrination, the elitist, secular Left has managed to convince many in our nation that religion must be driven from public view. The justification is always that someone, somewhere, might possibly be offended or feel uncomfortable living in the midst of a largely Christian society, so all must yield to the fragile sensibilities of the few." The Christian Right started Prohibition. Be careful who you support.
