Documentary: Grass - The History of Marijuana



This is one of my favorite documentaries. I find the topic of marijuana interesting mostly because I don't think the government should be able to do what I can put in my body. There's a ton of studies showing that marijuana's a pretty harmless drug, but what this shows is some of the reasons it was made illegal in the first place.

It takes you over the course of the past 100 years of America's marijuana history, showing how much money we've spent on the war on drugs, all the different propaganda the government has tried to push, and the racism behind the drug.

AND it's narrated by Woody Harrelson. I love that guy!
