Nothing opens up your eyes to the reality of a subject like a well-researched documentary, that is why we have put together the 10 Marijuana Documentaries You Must Watch. The fact that they require no effort from you other than your attention is a very effective method to disseminate information. Granted, like all forms of media, one has to be careful about what content to consume but no doubt, this is one of the most effective means of learning a subject intimately.
The exponential growth of the cannabis industry has gotten a good chunk of media attention and with lots of people looking for understanding of this herb, its uses and effects and legislation governing it….you guessed right, documentaries can be found every which way. Let’s look at these 10 and why we consider them to be worth your while.
1. Grass — The History of Marijuana (1999)
This documentary directed by Ron Mann gives a detailed historical perspective on the plant in a very entertaining manner. It portrays in detail how cannabis was portrayed negatively and demonstrates the ills of the war on drugs. Its soundtrack includes classics such as “One Toke over the Line” and ‘Reefer Man” which add to its overall appeal. It is both educative and entertaining so definitely a good watch.
2. Super High Me (2007)
Most probably one of the most popular cannabis documentaries there is, Super High Me was a radical parody of “Super Size Me”.
