The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is a tough one... I feel we would have had a very complete informative, plus comical ride if the guy had not actually smoked but stuck with the vaporizing. Smoking, correct me if I am wrong here, smoking anything, can not be good for that soft tissue structure that are the lungs! He could have tackled two birds with one stone in this even more so, if he cut out smoking because then, we have a better picture of the effects of THC...Very good idea for documentary - would be interesting to see more tests on this topic, to open it up a bit more. Is a tough one though because it is really recreationally widespread that sometimes the mecidinal side is over-shadowed. Maybe some more seriousness would make it more of a documentary than this - but boy was it a good watch - stoner or non stoner, this has it's comedy about it.

I wanted to comment on JustCurious' review when he stated "But if this is the best they can do, it should perhaps offer some caution about the degree to which marijuana effects cognitive thinking skills and behavior." I would like to remind JustCurious that in this film the tests (SAT & Psychic Test) are actually performed BETTER under the influence of marijuana then the same test taken without the influence. He did slightly lower on memory tests, but was still above average rating.Might also throw in there that this movie is available for instant watching on Netflix.I found this movie very informative and educational, it started a bit slow and dry but by the end if it I had a more solid feel of what the truths and fallacies were with marijuana. It's pretty enlightening to see the plight and struggle of medical marijuana activists and people who try to provide the service despite the attempts to foil them lead by the DEA.

Well I've smoked pot couple of times and I don't find it really interesting, only quite fun. I found this movie at my local videorental and I thought it would give me a closer and deeper look about the risks or benefits of Pot smoking and its medicinal use. All I got was a cheap movie about a mediocre comedian getting high and finding excuses for doing it so. I believe, if you are a pot smoker you are going to have a blast, not to mention if you ever attemp to watch this video while high... Awesome!!! Now if you are looking for a real documentary about the use and real positive/ negative effects of Cannabis in you body, please don't waste your time. I made the mistake already and I wish I was really high during those painful 80+ Minutes.

Before saying anything about this movie let me say this. I do not smoke pot.I rented this movie thinking oh great, a funny stand-up doing material and thats what it was. A stand-up, who got all his stand-up friends to do little interviews about smoking pot. I gotta say, was laughing like crazy through most of it. But mixed in, was a lot of serious opinion and anger about government control of pot and clashes between state and federal laws.If you are looking for something truly scientific and credible, this isn't it. If you are looking for a good time and don't mind some opinions, I highly highly recommend this movie. Doug Benson is funny as are his friends who appear and even the studies are funny.Watch it, enjoy it, don't take it seriously!
