I just watched this documentary called " How Weed Won The West", by Kevin Booth.
It came out this year, and I thought I had seen all the good docus. on the subject..
But this one is new to me and it is very good!

Alex Jones plays part in it, even though he makes it clear he doesn't use Cannabis~
I think this is one of the most calmest appearances by him yet. lol

The trailer~

AmericanDrugWar | September 04, 2009 | 4:20

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.

Keep watching for more info and spread the word - we need your help to free the weed!

Safe Access for americans, and every other nation.

Enough of the poison forced down our throats by big pharma. whose only concern is your money, Not our well being.


Legalize Nature.
Legalize Real Medicine.

Interesting. I'm not surprised if Alex Jones is in a serene mood considering the calming subject matter.

I'm not exactly a pro-weed fellow but If there's any form of drug that the government should ban then it should be alcohol and cigarettes and not MJ even if I went back to smoking cigarettes after more than a week of quitting.

Bill Hicks has essentially summed the whole MJ thing during the 80s. Taxes.

Hiyah~
I agree,
and it really shows the agenda of those in control.
"Allow the things that kill people everyday, to be legal and available to anyone"
"As long as we can tax it, and make a "killing" (pun intended) off of it, It's a GO"

But real medicine, that actually heals people and creates a better way of living for billions.. that they can produce on their own without any form of government or industry in the picture, is a NO.

So, Bottom line~
If it is poison, kills you, and makes corporations money~ GO FOR IT!

If it is natural, and actually works and heals people, but "We can't profit from it".
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, CRIMINAL!

Forced vaccinations and medical "treatment"~
That's cool~
But don't you dare consume the flower of this plant!

I'm always on the look-out for a good documentary, thanks for posting!! I'll give it a watch tonight...

but really what I replied to say was EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY POSTED RIGHT ABOVE ME!!

For any Fox News fan (Oliver North), anyone who believes the War on Drugs has merit, anyone who believes the government ISN'T running drugs... this documentary will shatter your current paradigm.

As much as I try and talk to people on a regular basis about the truth behind the drug war, it is the going ons that are talked about in that documentary as to why in my heart of hearts, as much as I never want to admit it, I will die before cannabis becomes legal.

It has nothing to do with political or social talking points... it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that our very government IS RUNNING the black market drug trade.

It's THEIR coin to make, no one elses. Taxes from drug sales would be unimaginable, sure.... but it's going to take a metaphorical nuclear bomb for our government and alphabet soup agencies to give up on that cash cow of off the books funding.

You certainly can't fund a coup of a democratically elected leader of a foreign nation and put it on the credit card bill.... instead, you seize millions, if not billions, from those who don't play for you and combine it with the billions that are coming to the top from those that DO play for you. We are talking about an insane amount of funding here... that "legally" doesn't exist in any official government budget.

They're playing chess and the public's playing checkers... they get away with these things, and the public goes on about their day... probably complaining that their iPhone just dropped their call

Actually, IN CANADA, we have a program of Medicinal Marijuana that allows you, if authorized, to grow your own. Now if you have cancer and use chemotherapy, hope it will not take 7 months to get your approval.

A friend of mine who will suffer back pain all his life have a possession permit for medical use. I couldn't believe it when he showed me his invoice for pot purchase, not cheap though, and add the taxes. He went back to his old provider but kept the permit.

Good video, thanks for posting. I didn't realize this was the same guys that made American Drug War(didn't read the thread until I watched the flick). Those are two damn good docs.

I showed this to a friend. After a half hour or so he got pissed and walked out. I had a laugh at that as it wasn't me this time, cursing and screaming about one injustice or another.
