A very eye opening documentary

[fabiodriven]

The main subject of this movie I'd say is quite obvious just by looking at it. However, I wish they had promoted it a bit differently. I feel as though there is so much more in this film than what the cover leads you to believe. Yes the movie is based on marijuana, but the amount that I learned about the government is astounding. I suggest if you want a factual dose of how this country really works to check out this film. There are a lot of opinions I've had for quite some time now, they're ever developing and evolving based on the more information I gather as time goes by. I feel as though this culture we live in has grown to completely immerse us and impose its will upon us, and that will is to consume as much as possible from us to feed a machine that is built to consume as much as possible from us. I feel that TV and radio are made to program people and make them feel what it is the machine wants you to feel. I feel as though this is fact because I have removed TV and radio from my life almost completely, therefor I have noticed how people regurgitate what it is they see on the TV and hear on radio. I'd rather have my own voice and thoughts.

Honestly I could go on all night so I must digress. For the sake of keeping this thread on track I want to insist on one rule. It may be the demise of the thread from the word go, but it will help it from going awry. I would like to insist in order to reply in this thread you must have viewed the documentary in its entirety. You are entitled to your own opinion and all are welcome from any direction. I don't insist all watch this video, that's up to you, but please don't comment if you've not. I'd love for Mickey to watch this, but I'll say right now I've no need to watch any religious videos so I can respect anyone who's not interested. It is a commitment.

Enjoy!

I was hoping some people would have some things to say in either direction. I feel as though most of us on here view a lot of things in a similar light and the lack of replies to this subject to me kind of shows to me that many people are so caught up in the hamster wheel that they have not even the time to think for themselves. I do understand, many don't have the time to drop everything just to watch something suggested by someone else, particularly if you're of the mindset it's not something that would interest you.

My roommate just finished watching this about an hour ago. His scull is particularly thick when it comes to open mindedness and thinking outside of the box. I took offense the other night after I just finished saying that I don't take drugs when he said that I do. He was referring to marijuana which I do take issue with him saying. Even after watching this documentary the message still couldn't soak through his scull so I can see how other may still not understand as well. So sad to me. It's not that I'd like for everyone to see things my way, it's that I want them to see the truth.

If your head you choose to leave buried in the sand then by all means....

John, I just haven't made time to watch it yet. I have refrained from posting some remarks as per your wishes.

I'll get 'er done soon though.

My eyes were opened quite a bit when I watched this one almost 15 years ago

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0214730/

the reasons for initial pot prohibition being based in racism was especially disturbing....I do understand from watching the trailer that the documentary John posted doesn`t appear to be just about marijuana legalization per se`but rather about the bigger elephant in the room which is social engineering via control and prohibition and the ramifications for our civil rights as so-called "Free people" (a laughable concept in this day and age)

I`ve been disturbed at the trend toward arrogance in the thinking of many people. I find it a bit aggravating that so many people actually think they know whats best for others to the point that they see no issue in FORCING their ideology on everyone else at ANY cost. A lot of "Americans" need slapped back into humility IMO

I`m reserving comment until I can watch your link on Netflix at my sis-in-laws house for free this weekend.

otherwise I`m anxious to participate in this discussion for sure

Just saw this thread tonight...Me and the wife will have to watch this soon.

[redsox]

couldn't find it on netflix. is it still there? or has it been rotated out? i've got netflix through apple tv, and i don't think i get everything that way. also, i'm not good at using it. there are like 15 weed documentaries but this isn't one of em. unless it had an alternate title.

[fabiodriven]

Yes sir, still there Dan.

[fabiodriven]

Glamy is absotively smack dab on point in this particular instance. Well spoken brother!

[redsox]

Whats wrong with clicking the last link in fabs original post and viewing it on your computer for free even has full screen or stream it from any SMART device ?

i wanted to watch it on my tv and not my laptop. i was surfing Apple TV netflix and it wasn't available. i watched three episodes of archer and went to sleep. i'll probbly watch it tonight.

If you use the free link (just click on slick willy himself and it will play. Don't click on the 'download' or 'play' button beneath Bill Clinton, if you do it justs want to download iLivid which then tries to change your search engine and other computer settings.

I watched it from my iPhone 4S. No issues. Thanks for sharing Fabio, it was a great video. A little disturbing but I saw the writing on the wall a long time ago. Ever since I was a teen me and my friends would sit around and marvel at how tobacco and alcohol can be legal but not MJ? Are you serious? Duh! Everybody already know how to grow it, make it legal and big brother will never get his cut. We'll see, it's getting closer but still has a long way to go.

If Glamy endorses it, it's a must see.

Did you use the free link Glamy? If so how is your computer acting?

What turned me off from the free link posted for the movie were the 80+ comments about how some garbage search engine gets bundled into your PC and defaults to 'ASK' when you download it and the difficulty getting rid of it. I have experienced real issues in the past when downloading free service manuals with malware, then having to system restore and delete a bunch of worthless bundled crap . The worst were pop up ads with pics coming up every time you opened a craigslist ad or started a new page.



I'll play it safe and pay a few bucks to rent it still want to check it out

I used the free link, no computer issues so far, but I didn't download (as in didn't save it to my computer) the vid, I just let it load completely so I didn't have to put up with the sickening buffering every 30 seconds. It was taking forever so I let it load overnight.

I don't know what you're running for a browser sledcrazy, I run Firefox with NoScript and Adblocker as add-ons. I'm running Windows 7 with Microsoft Security Essentials. I never have issues with my computer.

I didn't see all the comments, the page I got from Fabios last link had 0 comments and only 2 ratings. I figured the ratings were from Fabio and glamy

I'll weigh in on the documentary a little later.

make it legal and big brother will never get his cut.

Seriously?

[redsox]

watched it. thought it was really good. i'll admit that i was biased going in and pretty much still sour on it about half way through. i thought it was a (another) hit piece on the right. It was, until they ed Obama and the current administration. The stats were bad in that part in particular, but i thought it lessened the obvious slant. Joe Rogan is cool as the other side of the pillow and there is not an ounce of lie in him. I respect him. He also seems emotional about the issue and obviously cares about it deeply. That is apparent, and makes him even more likable. I think maybe it would be seen as a more serious piece if they focused less on the rappers. B-Real, Snoop, and Wiz Khalifa are not the sources i'd choose to get my facts. Unless, of course, i wanted to know how to become a rapper. Then i'd ask them. The makers use them so heavily in order to attract viewers (particularly younger viewers), and to persuade their thinking. There was no serious attempt to hear from anyone that disagreed. Zero debate. Zero open forum. I think it would be a better film if it had cut the rappers and let the opposing view have a voice. I really liked how the internet was credited heavily for the success of the movement. I loved how the media was bashed. Loved it. It was a bit slanted against fox news more so than other outlets but i think it was balls on.
For the record, I'm 100% for open market legalization. I'm against government dispensaries, as the government will mess it up. It should fall under the oversight of the USDA, just like an apple. It should be restricted from kids like the current restrictions on tobacco. If there is a tax, which there most certainly will be, it should go to border protection. But it should be private companies that control it. It will most likely be controlled by Phillip Morris and RJ Reynolds. Thats right, AKA "Evil Corporations" to those of you in the conspiracy mold. The same people selling you the pills will be selling you the weed. They're selling you pepsi and doritos also. I don't think they're evil and out to kill you. i think they just want a bigger boat and a hotter wife. But i digress.
My fear is that the entire movement will hinder the prohibition efforts against real drugs. Weed is not heroin or meth. The foolish bimbo from the DEA can't see that, or can't say that, and its almost laughable. The whole point, i think, is moot because, like the guy in the movie said, "you're not gonna get this cat back in the bag."
