This documentary tries to market itself as "how Colorado is after legalization". However they only talk to random people and a few people working in the cannabis industry about what can best be described as the bad effects of legalization. And it becomes supremely obvious by the way they shoot this documentary, because you can see that they asked only the questions that put cannabis in a negative light and then took the time to get the answers from all the people that would make it seem like it's bad.

A good example is that they take short bursts of 1 sentence answers from the random people, but take the entire view and position of the police. It's such an obvious takedown piece that it's actually sad someone is still making these.

Obviously a slam piece on marijuana. And, it's very, very, poorly done at that. Just random, uneducated, hateful peoples opinions. It's like they walked around Colorado and found the hateful ignorant people. The interview by the police officer was the most ignorant, lacking of logic and intelligence arguments I've ever heard. It's scary this guy has so much power and responsibility when he is entirely uneducated, unintelligent, and biased people you could come across. Don't watch this unless you want to get upset. Wow this is horrible. Whoever made this "documentary"......why? Just what were you trying to accomplish?

They spend the entire video pointing out the perils of legalized cannabis. They make many completely valid points. There ARE issues that need to be addressed.

Do they make any suggestions on how to fix any of the problems? Nope only back to criminalization.

Not once to they speak of the damage done by the drug war which focused on locking people in cages, ruining their lives and, often, entire families all because of a plant.

Also no mention of WHY cannabis was prohibited in the first place or HOW the escalation of the drug war was done so that the US government, under Nixon, could go after people who they disliked - blacks, Hispanics and hippies. That is well documented.

Still, while pointing out all the new problems they had zero solutions for any of them short of a return to medical cannabis cards instead of a free-for-all. Thinking through what the implications of doing that are and then justifying why we would do that will be left to everyone's imagination. Obviously they don't want you to consider it - just think about how many problems there are now and understand they would all be solved by making it illegal again. Then we could go back to the good old days when the war on drugs was helping everyone have a great life, eh! /s

Upshot: The makers of this propaganda piece are clearly out of touch with history. They should be getting a fat paycheck from the prison industrial complex, the police and the pharmaceutical companies.
