Rolling Papers
On January 1, 2014, recreational marijuana sales began in Colorado. With all eyes on ground zero of the green rush, The Denver Post became the first major media outlet to embrace it and appointed the world’s first marijuana editor. Legalization is not just an experiment for society, but a risk for the dying industry of newspapers to hedge its bets on the booming business of marijuana. Ricardo Baca sets out to report on history in the making with a team of straight-laced staff writers and fish out of water freelancers in tow for The Cannabist as it unfolds. Policy news, strain reviews, parenting advice and edible recipes are the new norm in the unprecedented world of pot journalism.

Sick Product of a Sick System
Purely Joyful Movie!
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.
The trailer for the movie made it seem like this is mostly about marijuana, but that seems like a small subject from what I saw. After Colorado makes Mary Jane legal, The Denver Post assigns an Editor to head up a new section of the newspaper design to capture this culture.It's about a year in the life of this Journalism team as they investigate the pros and cons of this new situation. What's working, What's not working, comparing it to other countries that do it, plus and inside look at the men and woman involved in being in the stories and writing them. Though it's a stretch to put this on the same level as such movies as Spotlight and Truth that recently came out and are about investigative journalism, still I think it will appeal to fans of Newspaper print. Though the subject is on cannibals, Rolling Papers most thrilling moments are watching the journalist go after the story.Good watch.
