How Weed Won the West - Official Trailer #1

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.

Ethan Nadelmann (Drug Policy Alliance / DPA)
Don Duncan (Americans for Safe Access / ASA, Los Angeles Patients & Caregivers Group / LAPCG )

According to the FBI, in 2008 Over 61,000 Californians were arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession, while 60,000 violent crimes went unsolved. VOTE "YES" ON PROP 19 so that the POLICE can get back to their job of solving VIOLENT CRIME!

The lawyers are benefiting from the weed prohibition...don't kid yourself. The lawyers make the laws to serve themselves. What could be more obvious. 50,000 busts equates to 50,000 new clients and retainers.
