Saw it last night. I didn't agree with every "fact" they claimed, but on the whole it was a really solid piece.
I also watched their sister documentary about the hard drug that starts with the letter H. It aired right afterwards. What a heartbreaking story that one was. I don't know anyone who uses H (or at least I don't know about it if they do), but it looked like such a devastating thing. I felt so sad for the couple that was passed out in the park near the end. If there was ever any chance of me trying some H just out of curiosity, this documentary killed it dead.
Comparatively, their cannabis documentary might as well be labeled "pro-pot." It ends with a great summary that went something like this:
[SPOILER ALERT!]
They show some cannabis seeds in a guy's hand and say, "If someone handed you some seeds, and told you they would grow a plant that could provide clothing and paper, help cure sickness and depression, and intoxicate; would you throw them away?"
Awesome closing line!
