In the follow-up to his ground-breaking documentary ‘American Drug War,’ filmmaker Kevin Booth traces the fight against Federal drug regulation in the State of California. A public majority has spoken and said yes to states rights, allowing for the use of medicinal marijuana and opening up a new front in controversial medicinal ‘dispensaries.’ While users herald the freedom of legally-licensed “weed,” powerful forces at the DEA and law enforcement haven’t given up their federal enforcement power yet. Many dispensaries have been raided, targeting their distribution of marijuana and challenging their authority to rise into legitimate business. In the backdrop of this public dispute is the Dark Alliance– where governments handle the volume of drug trafficking and work with cartels and drug dealers to manage the drug flow. Just like the prohibition of alcohol, drugs have thrived on their illicit appeal, and doomed millions of non-violent offenders to incarceration and prosecution. Now, those swearing by the healing power of medicinal marijuana as well as those who simply refuse to be outlawed by a hypocritical rogue government are daring to stand up and declare that the violence, corruption and uncontrolled flow of drugs is due to the prohibition of the substance, not the substance itself. Big Pharma has put millions of non-“drug” users on hallucinogenic prescription drugs and instituted new forms of addiction and dependency, challenging our outdated notions that is only …

In Vegas and have a prescription for it, it’s apart of my religion and I religiously use it to pray. I’m Romani/Roma/Rroma we believe everything from the earth is a gift from God and to partake there’s nothing wrong with opium or coca but sadly to many Rroma fall to harder drugs. It helps me pray and aspire myself on a higher plain closer to God’s level. As I understand different religions and respect followers of different religions beliefs and traditions and I expect the same in return…

@CjaxFilms With all due respect, you’re missing the big picture. Not only would legalizing weed trump to a certain degree the poisonous recreational drug industry, more importantly it would SLAY the mass murdering, eugenicist controlled BIG PHARMA cartels around the globe as well as their petroleum monopolizing bretheren. To hell with those blood drinkers! A shift in financial, economic policy will not be the end of the world unless we let the international banksters control it as usual. Peace.

I agree, although i never smoked it in my life my brother used to do it all the time…personally i think its better than cigarettes or beer
plus the scent is amazing….cigarette smoke smells like crap
if beer is legal how the hell is weed illegal?? beer kills more people than weed does

I support legalizing it fully. But also consider that the cigarette and alcohol industries would lose revenue that’s also paying politicians booku bucks. The hemp/marijuna industry might trump both of them combined but would the overall cash flow and savings be enough to offset the lose of 2 other industries revenue?
