Watch Grass
(1999)synopsis
This movie delves into the evolution of the US government's stance on marijuana during the 20th century. Triggered by prejudice towards Mexican immigrants who used marijuana, the government established a misguided federal drug policy that viewed it as a criminal matter rather than a public health concern. Despite rational arguments, the policy was driven by baseless propaganda, prejudice, and political ambition, leading to a costly and ineffective crusade against a substance whose negative effects remain debated. This war has had devastating consequences, infringing upon fundamental civil liberties.
