I just finished watching ‘High: The True Tale of American Marijuana‘ via my computer care of Netflix.
I can’t say how incredibly impressed I was with this documentary. John touches on so many aspects of the uses of marijuana, and the reasons it is not legal.
Sure, most of it is the same stuff you hear all the time, but it’s a very convenient package with visuals to go along with the information.
From the description:
Filmmaker John Holowach directs this fascinating documentary about the causes and effects of the war on drugs. It also delves into the little-known politics and economics behind the battle and exposes the broken lives and casualties left behind. Holowach examines the infamous drug rehab program Straight, Inc., the fight against pain medicine misuse, the history of the marijuana legalization movement and more.
I do believe I will be giving this DVD to friends and loved ones. Hopefully, regardless of their personal decision on marijuana use, it will help even one of them to understand the harmless nature of marijuana, and the rights we should have to partake in it as we responisble adults see fit.
You can see it on Netflix (they have it streaming at the moment), or you can buy it from Amazon. It doesn’t seem to be available via Hulu.com, but I’m sure there are other ways to view this movie. However you attain it, I really suggest watching it; whether you are a veteran of the real war on drugs (that of its prohibition), or a relative rookie like myself.
Just get it.

Josh is a pro-legalization enthusiasts. Though he claims not to smoke marijuana, he states that "it's a personal decision with many of the same reasons that I don't drink. Hardly a reason it should be illegal."
