grass (thing)

A documentary by veteran Canadian filmmaker Ron Mann.

Grass chronicles the war on cannabis in the USA, from the racism against Mexicans that started the movement in the 1920s, to the current war on some drugs run by Bill "I didn't inhale" Clinton.

The film is narrated by the famous actor and a known hemp activist Woody Harrelson. It also features animation from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers co-creator Paul Mavrides.

Needless to say, Grass is pretty much the direct opposite of Reefer Madness, providing the viewer with the straight dope (pun intended) instead of the usual propaganda. Hopefully this is a sign of changing attitudes.
