man i just sat and watched the whole thing, it was awesome. I'll have to get into touch with the people who made it so our NORML chapter can get permission to distribute it.

DOOD, I know Miguel Santistevan personally. That scene where the kids are holding shovels is infront of the highschool I used to attend.
Anyway, this is an incredibly well-done documentary. Informative on both sides of the issue.

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

Damn good documentary. The way they focused and compiled their facts are indisputable. I watched it all the way up until the credits. I need to go back and see what their sources were. I like having ammo and factual information when defending such tabboo positions.

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.

It's a good and informative enough to show people that haven't informed themselves already. Show it to her. Usually pro-pot documentaries are geared toward the choir, but this isn't really a pro-pot anything... it's pro-medicine.
Those ladies at the bar didn't know what to say after we unloaded on them. I need to sharpen up on this stuff some more, though.

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.

Where can I get a copy or how can I download this?
My best friend's 41 year old sister is on her deathbed dying of breast cancer and I feel proud to be able to hook her up with some of the finest bud on the planet.
I can only imagine, but it helps her cope.
I applaud The Shroomery

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.

Me and my old lady were weeping when they took the Santa Cruz collective's plants.
Our government is so incredibly biased, ignorant, and bought out that it really disgusts me. Even though voting might not help our elections it's up to every pothead out there to get out there and hit the polls, people's lives could be spared immense pain and suffering for just 30 minutes at your local polling place! Not to mention this could lead to legislation that makes our lifestyle a lot more enjoyable with a lot less paranoia.
They've raided a number of clinics in California since that documentary has been made, there's tons of legal loopholes that allow the federnazi's to confiscate shit. Anyone who has their clinic raided should immediately go out there and protest!!
