Grass is Greener
Weed. Marijuana. Grasse. Cannabis. No matter what you choose to refer to it as, the United States' convoluted relationship with cannabis remains unchanged. Hip hop pioneer Fab 5 Freddy, who is also making his directorial debut, provides an unprecedented look at the racially biased history of the war on marijuana in this, his first film. A wide variety of famous people and industry professionals address the plant's impact on music and popular culture, as well as the terrible effects that its criminalization has had on communities of color, particularly African Americans and Latinos. This video delves deeply into the stark racial discrepancies that are present in the expanding cannabis market as an increasing number of states are joining the movement to legalize marijuana.
