As the Allied armies advance,
Hitler's Generals devise a master plan
to counter the Allied attack.
With the German army ready to defend itself to the end,
Germany's High Command visit Hitler
at his mountaintop retreat at Berghof.
However, once there they are rebuffed by the Fuhrer himself,
who tells them he has more important matters at hand:
his birthday celebration.
On 4-20-1944, Hitler celebrates his birthday
while his armies are decimated in Western Europe.
His generals conclude that the Fuhrer's recent pacifism,
paranoia, and indecisiveness
are due to his recent hashish habit
that he acquired while invading Morocco.
Without a clear plan and heavy losses,
the Germans hastily retreat,
leaving the Allies victorious.
The men who fought this bloody campaign will never forget
a date that will live forever in history,
the legend of 420.
Wait, that's not the legend of 420.
This is the legend of 420.
How often do I transport cannabis?
Every time that I get a large enough order.
It could be anywhere from 50 to a few hundred pounds.
Why is it that there's this attraction
to being in an altered state?
Because that's the source of the problem.
Anyone here never been high before?
Wow, all right.
I'm the last guy.
I do stand up comedy, I've never smoked weed.
And when you tell comics that, you blow their minds.
I basically get a couple of responses.
Either they'll be like "Dude, just try it, man.
It's gonna open up your mind,
you're gonna be so much funnier,
like next level stuff, bro."
Or they'll be like, "Dude, stay away from that stuff."
You don't need it, it's gonna ruin your life."
And what's scary is it's the same guy
telling me both those things.
I was a kid in the 70s, when it was outlawed.
It was the devil's weed.
It was good for you.
So therefore, I always felt it was legal.
I was really tired of going to shops
and seeing a lot of crappy meds.
So I thought, "Fuck it, I'll grow my own."
People are purchasing legal marijuana
that's quality controlled, and they know what
they're getting
in legal shops in the United States.
Nobody that anybody can ever show
has ever died of marijuana.
I don't think cannabis is a problem,
I think the ignorance is the problem.
The war on drugs has been a war on young people;
people of addiction issues, people of color,
and people from the lowest socioeconomic backgrounds.
There's been voluminous studies on the topic
that have completely debunked
that marijuana is a gateway drug.
There's a lot of money in this and now business,
it's starting to come in and say,
"You all gonna take this shit over."
The mindset that I was brought up with was yes,
that marijuana and cocaine and acid,
all those hippie drugs, that they're all the same.
The time is long overdue
for us to remove the Federal prohibition on marijuana.
We have got to stop imprisoning people who use marijuana. The
marijuana thing is such a big, such a big thing.
I really believe you should leave it up to the states.
I like where it is now.
If the state wants to try it, they can. I
think California's gonna vote to legalize it in November
and I think that's really gonna be the tipping point.
Yeah, if we remember to vote.
California is just weeks away
from a pivotal vote on the future of pot.
It is one of the most controversial measures
on California's ballot this November. Voters
approved medical marijuana use 20 years ago.
Now, Prop 64 would legalize
and tax the recreational use of marijuana.
Potentially, those taxes could bring
in a billion dollars in revenue.
Supporters say Prop 64 could end the drug war,
and safely regulate the widely used drug.
Prop 64 is the Adult Use of Marijuana Act.
Essentially what it does is it establishes
a licensing structure for recreational use.
You as a private citizen over 21 years of age
could have an ounce of marijuana in your pocket.
And you can grow six plants in your house
and keep what you produce from those six plants.
An officer could pull you over,
and if you have an ounce of marijuana
and you're not under the influence,
he'll hand your cannabis back to you, have a nice day.
No crime.
By January 2018, they'll have the structure in place
where people can actually apply for licenses
and go into business to sell marijuana recreationally.
Today, California voters cast their ballots
on Prop 64, which will legalize recreational use
of marijuana. Advocates from marijuana...
I voted.
-I voted yes. -I voted yes.
I voted for Proposition 64.
I'm tired of Colorado being the coolest state in the nation.
The legalization of marijuana passing 56% to 44%...
Marijuana is now legal in California.
This moves it from the cooperatives,
and the small, and the clinical sales of it
to full-scale recreational use.
A number of states have decriminalized
the possession of small amounts of marijuana.
Seven states and the District of Columbia
have adopted the most expansive laws
legalizing marijuana for recreational use.
My buddies are all potheads.
It's always funny too you know, we're always sick.
Always have like flu or something.
He's always smoking a joint.
Your like, "No way, you have a cold?"
I just got over one last week."
That's fuckin' weird." There you go."
"Mono, flu, cold.
Hey, thanks man."
"I'm just as dumbfounded as you, there you go."
I was the youngest player for Australia at 18
in the World Championships. I played in two Olympics.
I became a playing coach in Australia,
won every national championship that could be won
in my entire career.
When I got into trouble in 86 for smoking marijuana
with my team at the end of a season, all hell broke loose.
Well that was the first time that I can ever,
ever know of in any top level sport in the United States,
or Australia, or anywhere where they fired the coach
a week before the finals with the best record
in the history of the league
which still stands today 30 years later.
The team refused to play until they reinstated me.
The whole city was incredibly supportive,
and the committee had to back down and reinstate me.
Any sport that is a contact sport that develops pain,
if the athletes can get some marijuana,
I believe it would be an absolute blessing
for top level sporting people.
I use a substantial amount for my cancer
on an everyday basis.
And as far as I know at this stage,
it's the only reason that I'm still alive.
I'm born and raised in Detroit, Michigan,
where there used to be 50,000 plus
manufacturing jobs in the city alone.
When GM went bankrupt and I lost my job.
It was like, cannabis was there.
And I took my severance pay and I built a grow room in Michigan.
And since then I've been in the caregiver network,
in the medical marijuana industry of Michigan.
Marijuana does 400 different things.
Helps with 400 different maladies.
When you take all of that into account,
why would you deny a medical use?
You have Pfizer and all the other big pharma companies
that can produce medicines for us at very high cost,
or you can have marijuana that you can grow
in your own backyard that'll treat a myriad of symptoms.
It's a folk remedy that's been used
for 3,000 years.
It's only the last 75 years that it's been demonized
in the United States and the rest of the world.
There is an increasing body of evidence
that the active ingredients in cannabis, cannabidiol,
or CBD, are showing benefit in children
with difficult to control seizures.
My husband Jason and I relocated from Oklahoma
as cannabis refugees for our son Austin.
Austin's condition is known as Dravet syndrome.
It's the catastrophic form of epilepsy.
They are full-body convulsions where you stop breathing.
He would have dozens to hundreds every single day.
He has cognitive and physical decline,
similar to Alzheimer's or Parkinson's Disease.
Any legally prescribed pharmaceutical for epilepsy,
our son has tried.
He would have significant weight gain or weight loss, rage,
anger, sadness,
and none of them stopped the seizures.
None of them, over fourteen years.
When I returned to the University of Oklahoma
to do some studies on neurology and our son's condition,
I stumbled across the U.S. Patent number 6630507,
which in that particular patent, it proves that cannabinoids
are neuroprotectants.
There was 40 years of post-World War II,
modern era's research that supported not only
the plant as medicinal,
but as non-toxic and non-lethal.
We knew that cannabis was never gonna be an option
with Austin in Oklahoma.
The doctors said, "That there was nothing more
that they could do for our son."
The pharmaceuticals were shutting down his organs,
and basically to take him home.
So in a way we did, we took him to Colorado.
When you watch your son dying
and the doctors tell you there's nothing else that they can do,
and then this little plant stops his seizures,
it's like we could live again.
We had hope again.
We knew...
We knew that we were gonna have Austin a little longer.
Now that he's on cannabis,
I mean he tells us that he loves us.
He will come over and just hug us to give us a kiss.
Oh,
thank you baby .
He can talk to his little brothers.
He can play with his little brothers.
He can comprehend and understand things.
He's happy now.
You know, we used to think that cannabis was bad too.
I used to think it was the devil's lettuce
and that it caused people to do crazy things.
Now I've learned it's not. That's not the case at all.
Moving to Colorado saved our son's life, it saved our life.
If you're telling me that a family has to leave a state
to get something to make their kid feel a little better,
are you kidding me?
People have to leave their state
to alleviate their children's pain?
That is outrageous and worth, you know,
breaking down the barricades of injustice.
In 2004, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I quickly saw what the
chemotherapy was going to do to me,
and I understood that these cures,
these medicines that they were giving us
were terribly destructive to the body.
I couldn't imagine someone going through chemotherapy
without this for appetite, for depression,
for pain, for sleep.
And after I'd gone through that experience,
I realized that I felt very passionate about cannabis
and I really wanted people to know that it was a big part
of my recovery.
Instead of writing prescriptions for
five or six different medicines,
I can recommend that they try one medicine,
and that's cannabis.
It's from the earth, that's why I fuck with it.
If I get a headache I don't go
to the fuckin' aspirin bush and pick an aspirin.
No, I roll a joint.
Some good haze or some good OG that's FV OG.
Something good and heavy.
Just something to make me sit my ass down and think.
Yeah.
I smoked before I go to this Rolling Stones show.
I was out of my gourd high,
and I remember walking over there thinking, "Ah shit,
you just spent a thousand fucking dollars on tickets,
hope you remember the show you idiot."
The experimentation of drugs
is an essential rite of passage for any artist.
What they do is they amplify who you really think you are
and want to be.
The first time I tried it, it was cosmic.
I mean very cosmic.
It was enough to make me feel like I was part
of a bigger intelligence system,
and I just thought that was totally beautiful.
There's a reason we call it, getting high.
It lifts you up.
It takes you to a place that an artist is not so afraid of.
Everything from "Awakening On", was completely written
and produced and created with the influence of cannabis.
I definitely think some of the best things
that pot gave me were perspectives
that I wouldn't normally see when I was sober.
I'm an artist, a creator.
My art is definitely cannabis inspired.
Cannabis allows me to kind of melt away all the distractions.
To get in the zone quicker. To be in the zone longer.
and to focus on what I love doing, my passion.
I'm big on painting what I feel.
I'm big on expressing...
emotion in a visual aspect.
People will pick up a piece, they'll buy it,
come to the counter and I explain what it means.
And they'll be amazed that
that's exactly what they were feeling at the moment.
This is The Climb, this represents, kind of,
in life when you're trying to achieve your goal,
all the obstacles and everything that you have to overcome
to get to the top, to be right over here in this little spot.
And this is the guy that's trying to get to the top.
So, it's like how you have to balance things in life,
you have to carry a bunch of stuff on your back.

Everyone who looks at this art smiles.
I feel like it's the happy wavelength.
When it hits your eyes, you just feel happy.
The biggest support I get is from the cannabis community.
The cannabis art community, it's huge.
If you smoke weed, you enjoy visual art.
It's just that they go hand in hand.
Dunkees art in the cannabis community
is definitely highly, highly rated.
Definitely one of the top artists for sure.
His stuff is really cutting edge.
It allows exposure to people that don't normally get
close to the vendors, that really get to see
top quality medicine up close and personal.

I had a guy here when I moved here.
This one comic goes, "You wanna buy some weed?"
I go, "Yeah, fuck, sure, I'll try yours out."
He goes, "How much you wanna buy?"
I go, "I dunno, maybe an eighth?"
Dude looks at me with a straight face and goes,
"Sorry man, I just have half quarters."
"Wow, well I really wanted an eighth.
I guess your half quarter will have to do.
I'm not paying eighth prices."
How does a drug dealer not know fractions?
The three rules of transport: have a buyer,
have a supplier, don't get popped.
You could have all the weed in the world,
but if you don't have a buyer, you just got weed.
The selling of it here, is usually handled
before it's even brought here.
And then the purchase of it is handled
on the phone before you go up there.
So it's really no nervousness about it.
The worst part is the transport.
That's the only place you're gonna get caught up.
So stay low-key.
Don't stand out.
Don't be flashy.
My car is a Subaru, man,
just like everybody in Humboldt has.
Black limo tint around it, has a long trunk.
So when I go there,
I just look like I'm from town.
I've got a sticker on the back for like,
the local college radio station.
So, when I'm in Humboldt,
I look like I'm really supposed to be there.
You gotta blend in 'cause they're bored.
Humboldt cops are bored.
They'll pop you on the way out of town, that's what they do.
They just sit there and wait. Don't speed.
Like, when you're leaving Humboldt County,
just keep it chill.
Just drive the speed limit.
'Cause that's where they're at, that's where they're chilling'.
Driving's not hard enough as it is.
Why don't you put a blowtorch and point it at your lap.
And then plan on having your eyes closed
in a coughing fit for 35 seconds straight at 80 miles an hour.
Record homicide rates, mass graves, mass incarceration,
kidnappings, corruptions, drugs, guns, violence and money.
These are all words that best describe
the last 45 years of the War on Drugs.
The War on Drugs is a war on people.
We've succeeded in putting a whole bunch of people in jail,
non-violent drug users.
We're filling up our jails with those people.
Parents are sick of their kids getting arrested
and thrown into prison where they could get raped,
murdered, and they get turned on to heroin.
They get turned on to crystal meth.
And they become institutionalized
and criminalized.
And when they get out they got criminal records
so they can't get jobs.
Lost human potential.
People going without members of their family
for years on end and the massive cost of incarceration.
A lot of people I know did time because of drugs,
and in my mind they're not criminals.
They just got caught up
in what became a money making industry.
One of the worst crimes ever perpetrated
by the American government on the American people.
Pelican Bay is one of the most secure prisons
in the entire country.
It's where we put the worst of the worst of the worst.
That prison has an opiate overdose rate several times
that of what exists on the street.
If you can't keep drugs out of Pelican Bay,
you can't keep drugs out of your local high school.
We would rather demonize drugs,
we would rather make drugs mysterious,
we would rather give these moral qualities to drugs,
than simply recognize the fact
that these are chemical compounds
that have psychotropic effects on the human body.
You know we've taken this out of the back alleys.
We've taken it out of the shadows.
We've created an environment where people can go
just like you go to a liquor store
and can get something that's regulated.
You know what you're putting in your body,
so we've taken money out of the pockets of our cartels.
We've actually seen some decline in crime.
We haven't seen teen use of marijuana go up.
We've taken in about 135 million dollars in in-state taxes.
They're gonna legalize pot
so they can mend the fucking potholes.
Am I wrong?
You, you legislators, am I wrong?
Are you gonna take the money?
Well if you don't it'd be a remarkable change in politics,
wouldn't it?
So if we can write the rules and create an industry
and create a culture that is good for working people,
that's good for the environment,
that's a huge opportunity, and it's something
that is developing right along with legalization.
NORML did a congressional scorecard
where we graded every member of congress
based on their statements
and their voting record with regard to marijuana policy.
Five percent of the members of congress were graded an A,
which meant that they had backed publicly
the legalization of marijuana.
That's a public policy that is now supported by 60%
of America,
but only 5% of lawmakers
in congress embrace that policy.
We did a governor's scorecard, all 50 governors,
we found exactly the same results.
Only two governors out of 50
were on record supporting the regulation of marijuana.
Again,
at the political level,
we simply don't see the support we see among the public.
The democrats and the republicans all have to take
a certain amount of responsibility
for these racist laws.
So in terms of this administration,
it defies common sense.
Conservatives tend to uphold the ideal of states rights,
so I'm hoping that Donald Trump adheres to that,
but I have no fucking idea.
This drug is dangerous.
You cannot play with it.
It's not funny.
It's not something to laugh about.
And trying to send that message with clarity,
that good people don't smoke marijuana.
"Good people don't smoke Marijuana"
In that voice that sounds like it was spawned
from like twelve generations of moonshiners.
Like Keebler just opened a still.
That breaks my heart that I won't be invited
to Jeff Sessions' good people party.
I hear it's very formal,
white hood only.
And if we go back into this path,
we're going to regret it.
On a Federal level, because it's still Schedule 1,
this despot is gonna stand up there and he's gonna say,
"Look, this is what the law is, and I'm gonna go after you.
Even though in your state you've all agreed
that this is what you wanna do."
How mad can the reefer madness get?
You've got a president that's worried about terrorism
and he wants to spend money and time
going after law abiding cannabis users.
But we have some bad hombres here
and we're gonna get 'em out.
Could troops be coming in here?
Could the National Guard be deployed?
If they wanna come in and pull the rug out
from under the state of Colorado
when we're doing successfully economically, socially,
and even providing new resources
for people struggling with drug addiction.
If they wanna pull that rug out from under us,
I'm ready for a fight.
And look at this! Trump!
Donald Trump!
Donald Trump, oh my God!
The hostile takeover of Donald Trump.
I'm okay with legalization as long as a few things happen.
Number one, you get that person off of our healthcare system.
Number two, you take away their driver's license.
Number three, you take away their kids and you isolate them.
If they sell or smoke weed,
they should take away their healthcare,
they should take away their children,
and they should take away their fucking citizenship.
Like, dude, that's not a weed smoker.
That's a Mexican. That's what that is.
I was arrested seven times for having weed.
A small amount for a blunt.
If your skin happens to be a little darker,
you have a 50% to 75% more of a chance
of going to jail for the same crime.
How do we solve the problem of getting minorities
into the legal market and getting them to be able
to participate just as much as, as anyone else?
People with less means, whether that's economic
or educational, a person of color, or a woman,
there's these barriers to entry into the legal market
that in some ways have been set up just by the regulations
that we put forward as lawmakers.
In many states, you're not allowed
to work in the industry if you have a conviction.
And those that are convicted,
especially on marijuana crimes, these are our experts.
So it's kind of ironic that the very people
that got us started are now being excommunicated
from participating in a legal market.
And it's not fair because it's the people of color
that went to prison for this plant.
Now, you have, you know, all the suits making billions
of dollars, and they're trying to cut everybody out.
That's not okay.
They came to my house at five in the morning
with a SWAT team fully armed with riot gear,
and masks,
and helmets and automatic weapons.
These guys are looking like they're in downtown Mosul,
a special forces team type of deal,
and they're just decked out head to toe.
That militarization of our police force
has gotten a little bit out of control.
It's SWAT style raids.
And I have clients that have PTSD as a result of these raids.
My name is Gary Levine.
For the past 35 years, I've been preparing kids
and adults for the tests
to get them into the next phase of their education.
Over the years, I've helped people get into college
and grad school and medical school,
that they probably wouldn't have been able to do
were it not for our work together.
About 14 years ago,
I bought this property that had an avocado farm on it.
About six years ago, they did away with agricultural water
for my district and my monthly water bill
went from about a thousand dollars a month
to about three thousand dollars a month.
So I told everybody that we're gonna get out
of the avocado business.
One day, a guy knocks on my door and he said,
"We're a group of disabled veterans,
and we would like to rent that space to grow."
When I started doing it, I had visions that, you know,
I was gonna make some money, and isn't it gonna be ironic
that Gary is making money in the pot business.
When Gary is the guy who's never smoked pot.
The second day of trimming, the police raided us.
And it was the police.
It was the sheriffs department.
It was the DEA.
There were some Federal agencies.
There were probably 40 or 50 police.
With at least one helicopter overhead the whole time.
All had their guns pointed at different people.
They threatened us with prison.
They took me to jail.
They enjoy intimidating and hurting people.
They sent me to strip naked
and to put on their jail clothes,
all the while knowing that my bail had been posted.
They were trying to make an example out of us
and anybody else who might grow weed.
Because I used the word sell instead of the word donate,
they came down really hard on me.
You see people that have given their, their body
and their soul to fighting for our country
and to fighting for our way of life,
and they come back and in many cases they're ignored
and there aren't a lot of treatments out there for PTSD.
And we're starting to see that marijuana
is one of the most effective treatments.
In many cases these people end up being arrested
and prosecuted for cultivating for themselves
or providing it to other vets.
And it is an emotional experience.
It's very difficult to see these people prosecuted.
I would like to share my story
about me facing five years
in prison for six cannabis plants.
I'm a veteran of the United States Marine Corp.
I served for ten years. I did three tours.
They were treating conditions associated with PTSD,
so it was meds for anxiety, depression, paranoia,
as well as a large amount of opiate-based meds
to include Vicodin and actually pure OxyContin.
Roughly a year ago, I was on over 13 pills a day,
and as of March of 2016,
I am pharmaceutical free,
living only a cannabis lifestyle.
Within a day, I'm actually playing
with my newborn son at the time.
So it was a dramatic difference.
Cannabis has literally changed my life.
My kids understand why daddy needs the medicine he does,
and they truly love me on cannabis.
I'm a happier dad.
I'm a better person to be around. I live a better life.
This is not just for me, it is for veterans everywhere.
The drug trafficking business has always been one
that generates a ton of cash.
The attorney general's office says that it's estimated
that drug trafficking profits in the U.S.
are about 65 billion dollars a year.
As soon as you made it illegal,
the price of it shot up on the black market.
Now, when the price shoots up on the black market,
what happens is it's basic economic supply and demand.
I am Mr. Purple.
I distribute cannabis products through the darknet.
People go on there, they make a selection.
The buyer's money, which is in bitcoin,
goes into an escrow in the darknet market
until we send the package and is received by the buyer.
The protocol usually consists of gloves, no fingerprints,
no handwriting, no hair.
There is no smell coming from the package in any way.
That's one of the primary ways
that packages are confiscated is by poor packing.
From there, you then do a little bit of extra security
by putting anything that you ship into Mylar.
The Mylar is completely un-X-rayable
and it's impermeable to scent.
A lot of it goes to the east coast.
Very seldomly does it head west.
It's not as gangster as people think it is.
It is the sellers in the black market
that want cannabis to be illegal,
'cause that keeps the price high
and it keeps their profits rolling.
If you look at statistics on the number
of marijuana seizures that are happening
at the border right now,
they are down significantly from previous years.
They don't need to buy the black market marijuana
that in many cases has chemicals, pesticides,
they don't know what they're getting,
and that money is going to fuel organized crime.
We're told we don't know enough about cannabis.
We're told it hasn't been adequately studied.
Again,
the reality is,
is that we have ample evidence
with regard to cannabis.
We have more than 25,000 peer-reviewed studies
in the scientific literature
that reference the marijuana plant.
That's more than the total volume of literature
we have for Tylenol,
or for ibuprofen.
When it comes to cannabis,
there is so much for people to learn.
What is Oaksterdam University?
For those that might not know,
it's America's first cannabis college.
I focus on curriculum and making sure
that what we offer the students matches
what they'll need once they get out on their own.
And just removing the leaf.
And we wanna remove the leaf,
remember, this is called the petiole,
that's the stem of the leaf.
We wanna remove the leaf at the base of the petiole.
They're learning everything from starting with seeds
and seed germination to transplanting,
to what's called vegetative growth,
all the way through the reproductive
and flowering stages of the plant.
Through to harvest, and how to design
their own grow room from scratch and fill it with lighting
and all kinds f ventilation equipment.
You're gonna sit in probably the most diverse
classroom setting you're ever gonna be in your life.
You're gonna have high school graduates sitting next
to neurosurgeons next to grandmothers sitting next
to policymakers and city council members.
We have nine academic departments,
of which our legal department is our largest.
Before we teach you anything, we teach you the law,
so you understand what you shouldn't be doing,
and how to operate safely and responsibly.
In this industry, when you talk to somebody about cannabis,
99% of the time, you know what they're giving you?
Their opinion.
And there's a difference between being opinionated vs. educated.
And that's why we have Oaksterdam University.
We graduated over 30,000 students from over 30 countries.
When you graduate from Oaksterdam,
it's just the beginning.
They should be teaching this to kids.
You know, fuck that avocado with the toothpicks in the jar,
get that out of here!
Let's get Timmy and Scotty to cutting some clones.
Yeah? We're gonna crack seeds today, kids!
"Hey, what are you working with Kyle?"
"Oh, I, I, I have a hybrid."
"Really, did you cross"
"Yes."
My senior year in high school I was in honors English.
My teacher hated me.
She just did not like me at all.
And just to piss her off I wrote a paper
on the legalization of marijuana.
The paper was well written
so she had to give me a high grade ,
High grade.
Kids are learning in high school
that marijuana's just as bad as heroin, cocaine, LSD,
and as a result, when they try it
and realize it's not that bad,
then maybe they think, "You know what?
Maybe heroin, LSD, and cocaine,
maybe they're lying to me about that as well."
Marijuana is a gateway drug.
That's the number one drug people say they started with
before they got onto harder drugs.
The notion that it's a gateway to heroin
is like saying sugar is a gateway to, you know, suicide.
I mean, it's such a pedantic, pedestrian,
immature, irrelevant, unliterate,
stupid fucking thing to say.
If you're gonna make cannabis, or marijuana,
a Schedule 1 controlled substance right there
with ecstasy, heroin, and LSD,
then let's put alcohol in there too.
I never quite understood why there was such a taboo
and consequence around the use of cannabis,
whereas alcohol was free-range if you're 21 and up.
There are statistics that suggest
that there might be a two-fold increased risk
of a driving accident,
compared to an eight-fold risk with alcohol.
But in states that have approved cannabis
and made it legal there appears
to be a decrease in fatal traffic accidents.
People that drink alcohol tend to drive faster,
take more chances,
and they're less aware of their intoxication.
Marijuana on the other hand, people are driving slower,
following distance are greater,
the risk-taking behaviors are less,
and the awareness of the level of intoxication is much higher.
I'm not saying smoke a joint and drive,
but I'm just saying,
sometimes when you smoke joints you gotta go places.
Don't get me wrong, I drink, I have a few drinks.
I hang out with Mr. Alcohol, That's my boy.
But I'm just saying, it's a big difference.
All right, here's hanging out with Mr. Alcohol:
"Oh hey Mr. Alcohol,
what you wanna do?"
"I dunno know man, let's get on the freeway."
"Okay Mr. Alcohol, let's go."
Then you and Mr. Alcohol be on the freeway.
"Wah what now?"
"Speed up!"
"All right Mr. Alcohol!"
"Oh shit, Mr. Alcohol, it's the police.
What the fuck should I do?"
"Go faster."
"Okay Mr. Alcohol, , what next?"
"I dunno know, pull over, tell him to suck your dick."
"That's a great idea Mr. Alcohol."
"Alright, here they come, here they come.
Suck my dick!"
"Huh?
Oh, hold on I gotta roll down the window right."
Suck my dick, bitch!
"Oh Mr. Alcohol, they whoopin' our ass!"
And Mr. Alcohol would say, "I didn't say, say bitch."
But that's how he'll do you.
You see, hanging out with Mr. Weed, it's totally different.
Hanging with Mr. Weed:
"Hey Mr. Weed, what you wanna do?"
"Uh, I don't know,
I think we're hungry though."
"Right again, Mr. Weed.
Well, let's go to the store,
you think we should drive?"
"Hey man, we're not gonna go fast."
"Besides, you've driven a thousand times."
"This is true."
And there you'll be, driving Mr. Weed.
"Oh yeah, you become a precision driver when you're high."
"I'll take this left."
"I didn't like that turn there, Mr. Weed.
I think you should've leaned into it more."
"Yeah alright Mr. Weed, what now?"
"Let's get on the freeway go to that McDonalds."
"Alright, they do got the hot nuggets down there."
"Check the mirror, check the side,"
"check the side, check the mirror."
"We are so good at this man."
"Oh yeah."
"Whoo-woo!"
"Oh shit, oh shit, Mr. Weed."
"Hey, hey motherfucker what's this panicky shit?
You're not a rookie."
"That's right, that's right, I don't get paranoid anymore.
I know what to say. Right, Mr. Weed?"
"That's right, compliment him on the uniform first off the bat.
"Why hello officer.
My are they tailor fitting you guys nowadays?"
"What now?"
"Relax.
Not that much.
Give him the paperwork."
"What now?"
"Just relax, ten o'clock two o'clock."
"All right.
Thank you."
"Don't say anything else."
There was always a differentiation between
the hard drugs
and the psychedelic drugs.
And I knew, and especially having, you know,
Jerry be a heroin addict and watching how
that can devastate good people,
that that's a huge difference.
If you're using marijuana, particularly as a young person,
you are definitely playing Russian roulette.
I don't care whether it's marijuana, heroin,
crack cocaine, they're all the same.
See the thing about pot is,
is it deserves its own category among everything.
Like among all of the intoxicants,
it stands up favorably,
except for like happiness, you know, shit like that.
But, you know, people compare it to coke.
I've seen people compare it to heroin,
comparing pot to heroin.
Which tells me, one, you've never tried either.
And B, you've never even seen a movie.
Like fucking watch Trainspotting
and a Seth Rogen movie,
and then come back and talk to me.
I don't consider marijuana
and pot use as gateway drugs.
I consider it up to par with heroin,
the opioids, and the other drugs.
Some people are talking about how, like,
weed is kinda like crack, like it's just as dangerous.
I think that's ridiculous, because I feel like
no one's so addicted to weed
that they're just blowing people for it, ya know?
When you have an opioid crisis,
to trivialize that by comparing it to cannabis
which hasn't caused a single death in the history
of the United States,
I mean it's just irresponsible.
And it's disrespectful to the people
who struggle with opiate addiction,
and it's disrespectful to that entire issue.
It is ludicrous, absurd,
crazy to have marijuana
in the same level as heroin.
Ask the late Philip Seymour-Hoffman if you could.
Nobody dies from marijuana.
And every death, including Mr. Hoffman's.
is partly the responsibility
of the Federal government's drug priorities,
and heroin and meth is where all of your priorities should be.
The myth of cannabis being a gateway drug
has been dispelled multiple times now,
by multiple multinational investigations.
In fact, cannabis is actually an exit strategy
to many of those dependence problems on other drugs.
♪ But then when opiates got too hard ♪
♪ Tore all my stomach ♪
♪ And my skin started breaking out ♪
♪ And I lost all my money ♪
♪ And I showed up late for things ♪
♪ And well this is getting pretty serious, yeah ♪
♪ But my life was falling apart ♪
♪ So I locked myself in a room ♪
♪ And I smoked a bunch of weed ♪
♪ Because I wanted the withdrawal to go away ♪
For me, pot was a gateway to sobriety.
I mean, I used pot to get off the other drugs.
I'm a clinical social worker by training,
and I work in chemical dependencies.
High Sobriety is what it's called.
And it's the first of its kind, that we're aware of anyway,
that includes cannabis as part of a medication protocol
to help people with their addictions,
which sounds nuts, but it's not.
Lots of drugs, specifically amphetamines make people crazy.
There's 88,000 people a year drink themselves
to death with lethal doses of alcohol.
There's 115 people who drop dead every day using opiates.
Heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine,
all of those drugs have a dose
where people will just drop dead.
Nobody finds any recovery at all if they drop dead.
There's no known lethal dose of cannabis.
People have that ability to replace their drugs
with cannabis, that creates room for change.
You can have a conversation with a chronic cannabis user.
That's how we believe that cannabis is used
as an exit drug,
as an off-ramp from these other drugs,
and it can give people a softer landing into abstinence.
This is in my nature, I think, as a collector,
and collecting the herb
just seemed like something fun to do,
and everybody I show it to is always impressed
and enjoyed the whole experience.
I've got over a thousand different pieces
of beautiful herb from 1972 to the present day.
A little piece of Hawaiian from 1985.
Colombian Red and it's from 1978.
This is, I think, everybody's favorite.
This Thai Stick from 1978.
You'll notice the stick, and then it's wound
with this little bit of like hemp string.
Like, really fine.
And they generally went for $10 a stick,
sometimes up to $15 or $20.
Black Indica from 1979,
that's a stupendous part of the collection,
'cause that was the best,
nobody could beat it.
Acapulco Gold, that's
badass weed.
It's a one of a kind collection of beautiful herb,
and maybe someday it can help by getting the genetics out of it,
the DNA.
I don't think you can resurrect it like Jurassic Park,
but it's possible. Who knows?
Hawaiian Punch.
You just look for that smell, and you know what it is.
And you can only imagine, tropical vibes,
sea breezes.
Kinda makes you feel like, euphoric and elevated.
Feeling of everything's gonna be okay.
It's the Hawaiian Punch.
We have this Lemon OG.
And I picked it out because Lemon,
being that crossed with an OG
is something that I would enjoy.
Very limey and fuely and gassy
and full-bodied and you know,
some people like their herb grown under the sun.
It's natural, it's definitely more eco-friendly.
OG means ocean grown, originally.
Definitely my favorite strain is OG Kush.
One that has a very lemony punch to it.
The 19 year old at the store who sells me my pot
seems like more of a scientist than the doctor.
You know, he's the one who's like:
"Yes it's like a four-to-one terpene ratio to CBD to THC,
here, if you look with a magnifying glass."
"Ahh!"
This is our weed pantry.
What we've got is like lots of flowers,
different types of concentrates,
a bunch of ingredients
that are already infused with cannabis.
A lot of people ask me: "Do you just walk into that pantry
and like stick your nose in a jar
and pick a nug every morning?"
Yes! That's exactly what I do.
This rosin press is a solvent-free way
to extract the resins from cannabis.
Inside the piece of parchment paper
there is some cannabis flowers.
What's gonna happen is that this machine
is going to press it down,
and it's gonna go to about 200 degrees.
Just for a few seconds, it's gonna compress it
at that temperature, and what that's gonna do
it's gonna cause the resins inside the cannabis,
the oil to just sorta shoot out the sides.
This is an increasingly popular way to
make cannabis concentrates.
So we're gonna open it up,
and you're gonna see there's a bunch of wax there.
Wow, that shit is gooey as fuck!
Each one is like a chalk outline of the nug that you know --
-That you destroyed. -Yeah.
That once came from it, you know?
Like, in memory of this guy.
All right, let's go do some dabs.
I was in Michigan?
I don't know if you guys have ever flown
into Michigan with weed.
Yeah, not the smartest thing.
I saw a cop with a dog, then the dog jumps up
onto the carousel, he's smelling everybody's luggage.
My heart's beating, right?
He smelled my luggage, quickly moved onto the next bag.
That's when I started to panic,
I'm like, "Fuck, did I even bring it?"
Come down to if you can get
a ten hour drive down in one day
without getting pulled over.
I came to Los Angeles for weed.
If you get arrested for weed in the South,
I mean, you're just treated like any other criminal.
♪ It's all about weed ♪
The way I look right now is what thugs look like in the South.
I get pulled over every day.
♪ I woke up this morning ♪
♪ And we got high and I wrote this song ♪
♪ Song about weed ♪
Hey I think that's a cop behind you.
♪ Song about weed ♪
Hey he's pulling you over.
Let me take a rip of this thing.
I've been pulled over with a joint
in my lips here in Los Angeles, California.
And the cop asked me, "What do you think you're doing?"
I'm medicating.
♪ Herb ♪
♪ She's a green reality ♪
♪ And pot ♪
♪ Is good for me ♪
Looked at my license and everything and let me go.
That would've never happened in the South.
I'd have gone to jail.
They don't even care here. That's the reason I'm here.
'Cause there were too many close calls and run-ins
with the police in my home state.
The whole mentality is
completely opposite of the people
and the culture around it,
and I think it's because,
honestly, here, a lot of rich people smoke weed.
And they were like,
"I don't wanna go to jail for smoking weed."
So rich people paid to have the laws changed.
If you don't love cannabis
and you're not passionate about cannabis,
it's gonna be hard to grow really great cannabis.
Any idiot can grow pot, it's a fucking plant,
you water it, it'll grow.
But there's those of us
that spend the time doing the research.
We go and we find the masters and we learn from them.
Cannabis cultivation is part science,
and part art.
And certainly I think part luck.
Welcome to Dank by Pank Gardens.
This is our awesome propagation room.
I'm gonna tell you, this is one of the most
important rooms in our entire garden.
When you come down here, you'll see all of our teen plants
that just came out of the cloner.
These have been growing for about two weeks,
so they're really starting to rip.
This is an aeroponic cloner and I wanna show you underneath,
if you want to take a quick look.
You can see all the roots inside of it which are really fun.
We've turned this off.
Normally, we have water spraying out of every red head
and that basically creates the perfect environment
for hormones to build on the cambium layer of these cuts,
and really shoot out the huge root systems that we want.
This is to me, is the original OG Kush
that's called Ghost OG.
We grow in a medium right here of coco.
This is organic coco from inland in Sri Lanka.
So we have it shipped in containers,
and it comes in bricks.
And we basically put those bricks in water
and let them sit overnight.
And then we break the bricks up and it comes into a nice,
fine medium.
You wanna see?
It's like, really nice.
And the reason everyone is really into
this coco craze right now,
is coco holds about six times its weight in water
and it also is very high, like fibers.
So when you feed coco,
it's really easy for the nutrients
to adhere to the coco fibers.
We've actually won the Cannabis Cup
with the plants all back through here a bunch of times.
This is a strain called Don Shula,
which is just, it's a winning strain.
It's ironic that we called it the Don Shula because I mean,
he's the only, you know,
coach that ever won a full season of football
and the Super Bowl.
I bought marijuana seeds when I moved here.
Why wouldn't you?
You can legally buy pot seeds now.
Right? I don't even grow 'em.
I'd just like to walk around my neighborhood
sprinkle them into peoples yards.
Hey fuck you, called the cops on me.
Looks like someone's growing within 100 feet of a school.
And you're at church, you should know better.
The DEA, US Marshal Service,
and IRS are raiding Oaksterdam University
as a school shooting is taking place
in nearby East Oakland.
It was surreal.
What I remember most about the day of the raid
is a line of local law enforcement,
our Oakland Police Department,
trying to stand between a crowd of hundreds
shouting shame at the DEA
and a hundred or so agents
raiding five different properties.
We know you don't wanna be out here
on this assignment.
We know that in your heart you think
that this assignment is bullshit.
We found out that a tragedy was going
on a mile away, there was a school shooting.
It's unknown if the gunman is still inside
or if the gunman fled before police arrival.
Our law enforcement couldn't walk away
because they were busy protecting the DEA
while they raided a plant that's never killed anyone.
The idea of that school shooting happening
and our police not being able to reply
to it in a timely manner,
and the looks on the faces of the cops
that were pissed off at having to be there in the first place,
because our local law enforcement actually supports
our local cannabis industry.
and nobody told them that there was going
to be a raid that morning.
It's not easy, it's not easy at all.
The city changes its regulations or the county,
or the state, or the government, or the President changes,
or whatever it is that is going to affect this business.
It's a very competitive market.
And we reject 90% of the cannabis
that comes through our doors.
Picture a family with an 18 year old child
who comes to them and says, "I wanna grow pot."
That isn't probably a very easy thing
for a parent to deal with.
So it came to a lot of pushing and pulling,
a lot of fighting.
And after the first crop, when they saw,
Oh shit, you know, this kid knows what he's doing
and can actually make money on this.
That kinda started easing into more of an acceptance.
When we're growing indoors,
we're literally trying to play God.
We're bringing the sun from outside
and we're putting it indoors.
I tried doing outdoors and the bugs came,
so I said, "Fuck it, I'll build a grow room
and I'm gonna try and play God."
Inside of the grow room there is a center box
and when it goes below a certain point,
there's a pump in here that'll kick on,
and it literally just pumps the water, you know,
underneath my grow room up through the floor
and into that center box.
Cannabis, to me, has kinda been a world of
opening new friendships and
it's not a drug to me.
It's not either like a morning coffee or a sipping wine.
It's a whole culture.
It's a whole thing that's embraced me as who I am.
I dunno know, it's special.
And I get all the free pot I want, and my friends of course.
You wanna piss a farmer off?
Tell him how much weed sells for.
Like, how much per bushel?
Holy shit, my buddy makes more in his closet.
One light and two plants.
Good luck with your acreage.
Everybody's wondering whether industrial hemp's
going to make a come back.
I remember finding out that my grandparents
actually grew hemp back before it was made illegal.
It was used, of course, for rope, and cloth,
and a myriad of things.
My wife and I, we drink hemp milk,
we use hemp soaps, we have hemp clothing.
It's not marijuana, it's hemp.
It's used as fiber. It's used for paper,
It's used even in some plastics.
This is, this is actually a resource
that it doesn't take intensive quantities of water
in a dry, semi-arid state.
Something like hemp could be the new cash crop
to really answer some of the economic woes
that we have in our rural parts of our state.
I think industrial hemp is gonna play
a very important role in saving the planet Earth.
You'll notice we have a hemp museum downstairs
and you can see everything that we can produce just from hemp.
So a lot of countries are moving forward with it.
There's a reason why cannabis is a Schedule 1 substance.
The moment it changes, there's a lot of big businesses,
I'm talking about billion dollar international corporations,
and they're gonna lose tens of billions of dollars.
So they will do everything they can
to stop that from happening.
We were in Skagway, Alaska.
I was doing a movie with Woody Harrelson,
of course you hang out with Woody,
you smoke with Woody.
He had just recently gotten arrested.
He had gone to Kentucky,
'cause he's all about hemp activism
and the multiple usages of hemp.
And he's telling me the story.
So, having a guitar nearby, I made up this song on the spot,
The Ballad of Woody and His Seed.
It is written on the back of a set of sides.
The lines, a scene that we had filmed that day.
♪ From Hollywood he came ♪
♪ Feelin' lucky ♪
♪ He came to plant ♪
♪ His sweet seed in Kentucky ♪
♪ To draw attention to farm policy abatement ♪
♪ He flew to the Bluegrass to make a policy statement ♪
♪ This is The Ballad of Woody and His Seed ♪
♪ Hemp, you see, can fulfill every need ♪
♪ Natural fibers, no need to fake it ♪
♪ Whatever you need, hemp can make it ♪
Somethin' like that.
You can make those connections happen,
where maybe you do have some business people
that have those skills that can partner
with the growers that have those skills
and build successful small to medium business models.
We were kind of looking for something
in downtown L.A. that was a warehouse
that had a little bit of edge to it. There was a vibe.
The dinner didn't start when you sat down ate your first bite.
The dinner started when you got out of your car.
You walked to this parking lot, into a building,
and then you were transformed the whole thing.
Playing visuals on the wall, we wanted a whole experience.
'Cause to me it's like, that's what dining is,
it's all encompassing.
It's not just the food, it's not just the service.
It's a good feeling because my thought was with doing this
I've kind of destigmatized the idea of edible cannabis.
As I started working with some of the farmers
and whatever it might be that they brought to the table,
we treated it as an ingredient.
First and foremost in the style of cooking that I do,
it's using ingredients that are fresh and seasonal.
To take that with the different strains of cannabis
that paired best with those.
As cannabis comes further into legalization,
I 100% think that this is the future of cuisine in general.
I want people to eat and enjoy and not be wrecked.
Something like this where you're doing fine dining
and elevated food, I think now as we can
kind of dip our toe into bringing it to the masses.
The more and more people play with this,
the more you can find the right magic,
small dose per item so that you can enjoy the food,
but then you can also get that elated experience as well
and the satisfaction from it
without being curled up in a fetal position.
Hi, my name is Chef Niko.
And I'm gonna show you how my cannabis recipes
will spice up more than your palate.
My food will not only taste better,
but will make you feel better,
and you will never look at food the same way again.
I have four kids, so when I'm ready to go to an event,
they always tell me like,
"Oh, are you gonna go and cook for people that need it,
or are they really sick?
And I always tell them, you know like,
"Some of them are sick, some of them are not."
Here we have some nice Kobe beef,
and we're gonna make three patties.
And you can just press 'em with your hand,
like if you're caressing a woman.
Nice, thick, juicy.
Next, we're gonna add some herb butter
to the pan in the back.
We can put down our burgers.
You take the extract,
I would take about that much.
I mean, it's literally that much
that would medicate three people.
Once all of it has melted into it, two quail eggs.
Next, we're gonna fry our buns.
Once you've got them to soak up all the oil,
they should look nice and toasted, like that.
This is my take on the most expensive cannabis burger,
and I hope you guys enjoy it.
Everyone here that checks into my place
is cannabis friendly, is passionate about cannabis,
and loves cannabis.
What they have never experienced is the ability to smoke freely.
When we created this place I said to Joel,
"If we're doing this, we're doing over the top hospitality."
A secure, warm,
comfortable place for people to smoke.
Cooking and entertaining has always been
my love and my passion.
We want every guest to feel
like they're the only guest here,
but the beauty of the place is that they're not,
and people love to smoke cannabis with other people.
And our guests come in and within 10 to 15 minutes
they've known each other forever.
On any given night there'll be 12 people
playing board games and passing joints all night long.
The guests that we have here
varies from 21 year olds to 81 year olds.
We get people from all over the world.
Doctors, lawyers, veterans,
ex-military, principals,
teachers, you name it, across the board.
Our guests walk down in the morning,
and the first thing they hear is, "Oh, how'd you sleep?
Would you like a mimosa?"
They cannot believe that they can sit
in a beautiful living room, a beautiful dining room,
a beautiful patio and smoke.
So their appetite is wonderful for our great breakfast.
We have a full paraphernalia bar.
So they don't need to purchase anything
to smoke their cannabis with.
Some people just like to stay here all day and relax,
other people, we have the Botanic Gardens right here,
we have the Denver Zoo, the museum, downtown Denver,
and then they all come back
and gather together for 420 Happy Hour.
420 is a happy time.
It's the best happy hour there is.
I'm the president of Strava Craft Coffee.
We're a local specialty coffee roaster.
We've been in business for a year and a half.
We chose to celebrate the infusion of cannabis
into some really fantastic coffee.
The really great thing about Denver
is that it's a community of innovators, of makers,
of specialty foods,
of specialty experiences,
and as we've moved into the cannabis community
with our hemp-infused coffee,
we've connected with members of this community
that are extremely supportive.
They believe in our vision
and they help connect us with resources.
We're using a hemp-derived CBD oil to infuse into the beans,
and it produces some really fantastic results for consumers.
You can enjoy a couple cups of coffee
and not worry about coffee jitters,
and it's fantastic for alleviating anxiety as well.
We roast all of our coffees here in Denver, Colorado.
We do the infusions here as well,
and then package up in 12 ounce bags of whole bean coffee,
and we sell those at a couple of cafes locally in town,
and we do sell those online and they can order right there
and we'll ship directly to their house.
You can prepare it via French press or aeropress,
however you like to prepare your coffee at home.
High End Transportation is a luxury vehicle company
that caters to the 420 community.
We are veteran owned, women owned,
and just 100% diversified in our company.
We create experiences for people
who like to indulge in a journey.
We'll pick you up from the airport
in one of our luxury vehicles.
We'll take you to a dispensary where you can load up
and get your first joint on.
You get all your drivers fingerprinted, you know,
background checks, physicals, make sure they're safe
to drive on the road.
Once they're all limo'd up and our cars are licensed
and they have all their numbers on there,
you can go in there and hotbox with your friends,
and do whatever you want, you know.
Fifteen passengers or more,
have a good time and it won't affect our driver.
But definitely, our service is meant
to give you a safe place to consume
while you enjoy the sights of Denver, Colorado.
I love weed.
I love it.
I love it!
I don't like it, I love it.
You know why I love it.
Well maybe you don't, but I'll tell you
'cause I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed.
Don't you forget.
Don't you forget who...
made marijuana.
That's right. It wasn't me,
it was none of you either.
That's right.
Our Father.
He made it for us.
He made it for us because he wants us to smoke that shit.
And eat muffins and shit.
My name's Julie Berliner, I own Sweet Grass Kitchen.
We make cannabutter base edibles.
So this is Sweet Grass's cultivation.
We grow everything in-house
because we wanna make sure that every time you have an edible,
whether it's a brownie, or a cookie,
or you're eating it today or six months from now,
that you're getting the same experience.
It's not required by regulation to grow our own product.
We really want to be sure that we're seeing everything
from a five inch tall plant
to the cookie that comes out at the end.
Every room in the facility has its purpose.
So this is where we do all of our scaling and mixing.
Everything from the harvest comes into here, we process it.
You can actually see Brittney here scooping some
of our cannabutter into the mixer there.
So the tub that she has in her hand
can make about 20,000 cookies.
That's 200,000 milligrams of THC in one bucket,
so you'd get pretty high if you ate the whole thing.
It's a sativa dominant hybrid.
The experience and the effects that you'll get from that
is more of a energetic effect.
All edibles companies now have to stamp their product
in some way in order to make sure
that consumers know exactly what's in the product.
This machine laser-engraves every single product
that we have, so it's a pretty clean way of staying
in compliance with these regulatory changes
while making sure that consumers are safe in their consumption.
I'm happy knowing that Sweet Grass
and everyone involved with it is participating
in this incredible piece of history.
That my best hope for the future, my dream is
to make it into a national and international company.
Originally, I came out to California working
in the music industry.
Being in shops and seeing where trends were going,
I actually saw the first vape pen.
At that time, it was such a new technology,
I just remember that moment being in the shop,
hitting it, and being like, "This is the future."
You just unscrew the top, just load the concentrate
in the top here, press the button five times.
That's it.
This is currently our top selling product,
with this being exclusively for herb.
It heats up in under 30 seconds.
We don't touch the plant.
What's amazing about it as a product
is all you have to do is screw it on and hit a button.
The difference of having to actually take weed,
put your hands on it, break it up.
It eliminates so much of that,
and I think that's the attraction.
While I was a veterinarian,
we prescribed a lot of different medications.
And a lot of times they were for very common causes.
For example, a lot of pets will get arthritis.
The medications that we use for arthritis
can have negative effects on the kidney
or the liver, for example.
And so looking at cannabis,
we found that CBD and other cannabinoids can be
very effective for arthritis,
pain, nausea, vomiting,
separation anxiety or noise anxiety.
We wanted to make sure that we had something
that was not only safe for them to consume,
but that was tailor-made for them.
Good boy! What do you think?
There you go, good boy.
A lot of people are concerned about cannabis
and the high effect.
The product that we've created, there is no high.
It's a ratio of about twenty-to-one CBD to THC.
There's a small amount of THC in there,
but that THC is medicinally effective.
It doesn't cause a high because we have a lot more CBD
to counteract that, so owners don't have to worry.
The most rewarding thing is hearing the feedback.
All pet owners should be able to have access
to medicine like this, you know, especially for their pets.
Where I'm from, it's really hard
to find good product, and when you do find it,
it's gonna be expensive.
In Los Angeles, the marijuana scene is a lot more vibrant.
There's growers, there's people in competitions
with each other to create product
and have a place on the shelf
in hundreds and hundreds of stores across the state.
When I first came here, I just wanted to be able to, like,
have a boring ass job and smoke a bowl and not go to jail.
Then I realized the potential,
and now I'm here to make money and succeed.
Let us dream about a Federal government
that has legalized it,
regulated, and it's this great industry.
Ignition.
Liftoff.
Legends are stories that help us
to understand the future.
I hope the Legend of 420
is about bringing cannabis
out of the dark ages.
When this is legalized,
we are going to see...
a renaissance of incredible beauty.
