Grass tells the fascinating story of the true story of the American government to fight against marijuana. The fight to criminalize other drugs is addressed, but the problem is only tangential to the theme of this film. Grass is actor Woody Harrelson, who is not a great job during the narration to disturb your ability to see not rare archival footage from newsreels and film school of public education, which so heavily tired to discourage young people from smoking relatedMarijuana.
They soon learn that the fight for marijuana use between the punishment began in the early 1900s, when Americans realized that Mexicans working here used marijuana at the end of the day to relax after a hard work. Rumors that the drug, Mexican men went wild and dangerous and physically as the laws against drugs were made in the past. We also have great archival footage of combat narcotic agent Anslinger drug use and even FDR signing legislation that criminalizesMarijuana under strict legal sanctions. On the other hand, we also see the former mayor of his six year study of New York LaGuardia, the true effects of marijuana on people to understand and as Anslinger wanted so much to destroy any copies of this report, that his hands. In one particular scene hard to swallow meet a young man who came home a decorated hero from Vietnam - but after his trial for possession of marijuana, was sentenced to 50 years in prison! Wow, that was hardJudgement.
Of course, you can see, JFK, Nixon, and even the relatively liberal former President Jimmy Carter are all trying to look like a hard drug crimes possible. It 'good to archive material from the conservative religious right and marched in their own protests against the hippie movement with the use of drugs. The archives of the hippies who have their own public protest are equally well presented. You have a marvelous graphics.
In essence, the grassSee that was the war against marijuana and other drugs is largely wasted in large economic costs to our government. You are right, unfortunately, drug use has continued, although we are sure that the "grass" can be seen not as dangerous as many government officials believe the wanted man. Do not you fool, do not become a deadly killer, and will suffer irreparable harm in any way. Nor is that you go to "harder" drugs such as heroin, although I think that may dependindividual. However, the government still ignores the results and plows, with its war against drugs, including marijuana.
It 'something that I hope people still remember. Any drug, including marijuana, can lead to potentially serious health risks. When the son of a mother series, drugged and made everyday twenty-four years nonstop, I can personally to the fact that my mother terribly addictive years almost certainly has taken off life slowly but surely testifyThe damage to their brain cells. She was unable to take care of our children and drugs are used properly in their conduct very real way that I can not discuss compromise here. When my mother finally entered rehab, had the chills and other symptoms of abstinence, and it was good.
The DVD has few extras. There is an optional director commentary, alternate and get a start, this film was not used. The other extras are also good.
Total is one of GrassMovies are better, the documents of a history of good work to do war on drugs - especially marijuana. I recommend this movie for people who study the war on drugs, and people interested in group psychology and sociology are this film.
