Starting it up now.

One researcher said marijuana caused central nervous system toxicity and should not be allowed. When asked what he meant by "Central Nervous System Toxicity," which is a scary word, he said, "drowsiness."

It's a an excellent film about the struggle to get medical marijuana legalized.

I'm pretty sure I am going to order the DVD of this film. I've never spoken to my mom about marijuana, but as I try and get more involved in the campaign for medical marijuana in NY State, I want her to know about it - and I think I'll start by showing her this film.

I love, love, love the shot of Patient 1 standing on the steps of the Supreme Court and legally smoking his joint.

Well. I stickied this before having watched the film in its entirety. Now that it's done I'm definitely not ashamed to say I cried more than once. While sitting in my cubicle at work, no less. Thank god for downtime.
That was just so powerful.
I went to the bathroom to dry my eyes and all I could keep saying aloud to myself was, "I want to do something. I want to do something." And I swear I will. I will.
I'm going to contact the filmmakers behind the movie and see about a bulk order of DVD's, I'll spend my own money on it I don't care. And if it is too expensive for me to afford, then I'm going to find a friend with a DVD-R and order one copy and start making my own. And then I'm going to give a copy to everyone I know. And then I'm going to start leaving them places.
This bullshit can't continue.

You can download it straight from Google Video. Click on the original link and you can see there is a Download for WIndows/Mac or iPod/PSP link on the righthand side.

Legalizing marijuana for medicinal use is the most realistic first step towards blanket decriminalization.
