I just watched the documentary, "Grass". I, personally, do not smoke marijuana as I become a blathering and paranoid idiot on the stuff, but I do not look down on those who do. The film was actually quite enjoyable, which surprised me. For those of you who've not seen it, it shows how the American government demonized "reefers" (lol) usage starting from the early 1900s and on. Statements directed at a naive and frightened public such as, "Marijuana [sic] makes you kill" or "Marijuana [sic] makes you INSANE", makes me *facepalm* @ our government and gullible population. Many other interesting and frustrating facts are brought to light in the movie. It's obviously biased, as indicated by the front cover's illustration and the way the information is presented, but it's still worth a look.
