    Yea I saw it. Pretty interesting. It was all about California, the legal plants, and the illegal ones.

    it was more bad than good. basically they just did a documentary on how messed up the underground growing community is in california, how dangerous it is, how profitable it is, etc. overall it was very anti-marijuana. but without intentionally doing so, they basically outlined exactly why pot should be legal because everything they were bitching about could be easily solved by legalization and government regulation.

    i agree. I didn't really care for it.. especially that one guy.. that looked like this [​IMG]and was telling complete lies and talking out of his ass. There was a few good parts. But it was def. not pro-marijuana in the least. I got mad at some of the people talking.

    haha pretty much. just imagine, that guy who owned that coffeeshop pays the gov 500k a year income tax. now imagine 1000 of those shops thats 500,000,000 a year! now instead of spending (wat was it 10 billion i think) all that money on drug enforcement they could jus sit back and collect 500 mil and get rid of the violence they experiencing in nor cal. jus imagine wat that 500mil could be used for!

    exactly. the amount of money to be made by the government from both tax revenue and from not spending the 10 billion/year on trying to eradicate the drug would be astronomical. health care, education anyone?
