A lot of fun.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
The Netflix description of this documentary claims it presents an unbiased view on marijuana legislation. The reason i came here to review it was the fact that it's massively biased towards legal pot, and that at least half their arguments are simply nonsensical propaganda.This documentary presents so many flawed arguments in favor of legal pot, by people that come off as ... damaged (by drugs?) that it ends up being one big argument against legal pot. Witch is sad, I think legislation is a good idea, and an unbiased documentary would be very much worth a watch, but this trite zeitgeist knockoff is entertainment for morons and druggies.Not worth your time, skip it
If you are of the opinion that corporations run the world and see a powerful conspiracy supporting every policy with which you don't agree, this is the film to confirm your worldview. If you would like to be educated on the failure of marijuana prohibition, the first 45 minutes of this movie does a decent job. But then it spins out into a disjointed, paranoid analysis of everything from media to campaign finance to drug development and beyond. It is really disappointing to invest 45 minutes, be tantalized by the beginnings of a good argument for marijuana law reform, then watch it get more and more ridiculous. Anybody that subscribes to the conspiracy theories played out in the last hour or so of the movie are people who already think marijuana laws need reform. The second half of the movie kills the credibility of the first half. Most people who are undecided on the issue are going to be lost an hour into the movie. Missed opportunity to convey a powerful message.
Two hours well spent for an insightful yet accessible documentary which, with the addition of similar shared views on oil, could neatly fit into 'A short history of modern everything'. Carefully researched, well balanced and brave. Indeed a thoroughly nourishing look at our brave new world. Only 8.5! never-mind because in years to come this will prove to be one of those classics that are enjoyable but yet remind us of our infallibility as a society, where policies are harmful but the courage and effort required to change things are squashed by a general consensus of fear and ignorance. I particularly liked the balance of information in this documentary. My only query is whether there is any legitimate (emphasis on legitimate rather than autocratically driven consensual hearsay) documentation that confirms the presence of detrimental side effects, because of course everything can have side effects - even eating too many carrots can have side effects!Thank you to all those brave professionals who spoke perhaps knowing that their credibility in their world would probably be tainted, or they might even be sacked, as was Professor David Nutt. A special thank you to Howard Bloom who came over as a true philanthropist. Well done Brett Harvey and team for two hours of thought provoking cinematographic entertainment,
It does not get any better than this ,when people as well know as Richard Branson ,David Nut and Howard Bloom as well as many others are will to take on the topic around prohibition of a plant .The public have been lied to for to long about this issue in order for the pharmaceutical companies to take hold and make huge profits .War on drugs is a war on people , the next war should be the war on thieves ( Bankers , politicians , pharmaceutical CEO and corrupt law enforcement agency's ) I hope after watching this documentary more people will become open minded ,not just on this topic but around all where the government is involved . I hope that by the end of this decade the world will be on it's way to use not just cannabis but hemp products as a alternative . I dream of the day I can run my car on hemp oil instead of paying oil campaniles huge government taxes at the same time .
