About the movie - Grass - Have you ever seen it and do you have any comments about the film? I've seen it a couple of times and find Grass to be accurate, comprehensive and entertaining. The most striking thing about the federal government's approach to cannabis is how many lies they have told and the cruel treatment of cannabis users. (my reflections on Mr. Harrelson's views on other topics in a following post)

Plot Outline: The history of the American government's war on marijuana in the 20th century. |
Plot Synopsis: This film explores the history of the American government's official policy on marijuana in the 20th century. Rising with nativist xenophobia with Mexican immigration and their taste for smoking marijuana, we see the establishment of a wrong headed federal drug policy as a crime issue as oppposed to a public health approach. Fuelled by prejudice, hysterical propaganda and political opportunism undeterred by voices of reason on the subject, we follow the story of a costly and futile crusade against a substance with questionable ill effects that has damaged basic civil liberites. |
I haven't seen it, but here's what RottenTomatoes says about the movie:

Sounds kinda intersesting.
But isn't the real point here that The Woodman is really nothing but a celebrity with an opinion? I don't think he exactly carries the philosophical weight of an Ayn Rand.
Harrelson's politics are a little too liberal for my tastes, but even a blind pig finds an acorn once in awhile. From an objective viewpoint, even Woody might've struck "gold" on this one.
