The Union: The Business End Of Getting High

[sparkler]

The blurb:

 

Ever wonder what British Columbia's most profitable industries are? Logging? Fishing? Tourism? Ever think to include Marijuana? If you haven't, think again. BC's illegal marijuana trade has evolved into an unstoppable business giant, dubbed by those as The Union. Commanding upwards of $7 billion annually, The Unions roots stretch far and wide with 65% to 85% of all BC bud being exported to the United States. Follow film maker Adam Scorgie as he dives head first into Canada's most social acceptable illegal activity by interviewing growers, clippers, police officers, criminologists, economists, psychologists, doctors, politicians and pop culture icons, to expose the business of getting high.

Just watched this film and have to say it's the best doco re: cannabis I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them. I found it to be very entertaining, at times extremely funny - at other times extremely heartbreaking, very intelligent, very comprehensive and compelling as all f**k. My eyes were glued to the screen...and I was watching it straight LMAO .

 

If you haven't seen this and have an interest in these kind of doco's then I highly recommend it
