Beautiful, moving film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Blistering performances.

Not your typical "stoner" movie, Kevin Booth's newest documentary on the varied and complex issues in the hemp movement showcases the most recent, hot-off-the-presses, real-life situations involved in the move for hemp/ cannabis re-legalization, and deserves national attention. It's high production quality and in-depth, respectful, and honest look into the lives of the people this issue affects, puts it well above the bar of marijuana joke movies. This is an issue that is far too important for people to sit back on any longer. Kevin's film reflects the humanity behind an often demonized and misunderstood, healing, and possibly economic panacea herb -- Cannabis marijuana, hemp. Used to be legal. Should be again! Great, educational, funny, and moving movie. Peace. S

This is what you get when you scoop the bottom of the smokers barrel and get them to make a pro marijuana documentary.Let me just say these are the people the conservative types are afraid we'll become if MJ is legalized. The majority of the first half focuses on a dispensary that has been recently raided. The owner is outraged that all his inventory has been stolen and his place of business ransacked. Obviously anyone in the owners shoes would be distraught and would bring this to the courts, but what we later learn is said owner had previously been raided and decided to reopen to "stick it to the man". So with no leg to stand on legally, the lawyers basically laugh in his face or give him awkward looks while he rambles on about freedom. The footage is very awkward to watch, his moments make the people around him uncomfortable as well as the viewer.I struggled to take anyone seriously in this documentary. Seriously, a priest that smokes weed with his loser looking friends, then films a little skit with some old woman which results in him jumping her.If anything this film made me question why I smoke. I don't want to end up being 40, rambling on uncontrollable or being a douche bag priest that wears baggy cheap suits to be cool. (IT WASN'T COOL IN THE 90s, ITS NOT COOL NOW.) I'd suggest to anyone who smokes looking for a documentary, that brings new evidence to the case of legalizing our beloved drug, to steer clear of this piece of dog .

I had to take a little time to rereview this film as I know several of the peeps in it and it is a subject close to my heart (lungs). So if this were just a random film about something I cared nothing about I would still be super impressed and moved by the film-making and storyline. The weaving of stories from Jeff and his dog Scabs and Craig X to the Mexican guys in NorCal growing and the wrestler recouping from her issues is flawless and entertaining. The music is hip and flows well and Kevins first hand involvement and narration is easy to follow and connect with. What really touched me was the Alex Jones commentaries sprinkled throughout giving the Cali Herb issue national and global significance, putting the issue in perspective for many outside the ganja scene. Please see this film and show it to anyone you know who dosen't "get it" about "Hemp Saving the Planet", because it can and this is how it begins. There are many light, funny moments in this flick but it is a serious look at one of the premier issues of our day. Good job Kevin!

Not a weed consumer myself anymore, but this film definitely opens anyone's eyes concerning the detrimental economic, social and human ramifications created by marijuana prohibition. This film is a must-see as it destined to become an icon of the marijuana anti-prohibition movement. It takes the viewer through a journey of real life stories involving the relatively new California legal marijuana industry. It does not focus strictly on the medicinal value of marijuana, but the widespread responsible consumption of marijuana for personal recreation and mood enhancement as well. While there are many light and entertaining moments which are implied by a somewhat playful title, the subject matter and the production values of this film give it a serious and mainstream position in documentary film history.
