More conservative, political nonsense about the evils of marijuana and how it's going to destroy the world. The show follows California cops busting pot growers and is edited the way all cop "reality" shows are, to make it look like cops are doing God's work.
This show only consists of three episodes and was released in 2013. Pot is legal both medically and recreationally in California now. In fact, now that Canada and the entire west coast is weed legal, you can drive from Nome, Alaska to the Mexican border and get legal weed the whole way. All the things pot opponents said was going to happen if we legalized weed has, of course, not happened. The only reason weed is still illegal federally is because Big Pharma has their lobbyists pay politicians to keep it that way.
This was shown on the Discovery Channel, and was just another show illustrating the death of educational programming in America. The Discovery Channel has gone the way of TLC, which used to be The Learning Channel, but is now just an unwatchable collection of human freak shows. Shame eliminated sideshow freaks from circuses years ago. TLC has them now. The History Channel went stupid long ago as well, and now features shows having nothing to do with history, but a lot to do with manufactured drama, with bike builders, lumberjacks, and Bigfoot hunters all screaming at each other in mock rage.
Pot Cops is nonsensical police melodrama pretending to be an important social concern. The reason you see so many cop shows involved in busting vice crimes is because it's easy to do, and easy to demonize. But think about it; the lottery is legal, but playing a penny ante game of poker with a few friends is a crime? Please, spare me the profound outrage over weed, prostitution, and gambling. Vice isn't a crime. It's a socially mobile concern, worried over by religious zealots.
