With California and the rest of the country going bankrupt, one business is booming. How Weed Won the West is the story of the growing Medical Marijuana industry, focusing on Los Angeles with over 1000 legal dispensaries doling out the buds. Following the story of Organica, a southland dispensary which was raided by state and federal agencies in August of 2009, the film shows that although much has changed with Obama in office, the drug war is nowhere near over. Kevin Booth, producerdirector of American Drug War, picks up where the last film left off and continues his fight against the hypocrisy of the War on Drugs. Intended to inform and entertain, this fast paced and even sometimes funny film features Texas conspiracy guru Alex Jones, Ethan Nadelmann head of Drug Policy Alliance, and a host of amazing characters including a former LAPD narcotics officer who now thinks all drugs should be legal.

Marijuana is an illegal flower...really? cmon
This review is from: How Weed Won the West (Amazon Instant Video) NIce video. I loved this film and all other documentaries and features about legalizing and regulating drug trade. It's just suprising to see how many people in leadership do not have any common sense about a flower. Isn't that where other "legal" prescription drugs come from, the earth? I am just counting down the days until the people overthrow our government. I am giving all this to God because I know He cares about His people on earth and about specifically our health and being healthy! Merry Christmas and Godbless! PrAISE JESUS~Shaun's movie corner!

How Weed Won the West
Informative documentary explaining the laws, problems, and acceptance of marijuana in California. As an East Coast native it's always fascinating to see how different things are on the West Coast. Found it enthralling but rather cheesy at times with mock-commercials etc. Good documentary though.

Highly Educational, funny, and moving look into the modern Hemp Movement
Not your typical "stoner" movie, Kevin Booth's newest documentary onthe varied and complex issues in the hemp movement showcases the mostrecent, hot-off-the-presses, real-life situations involved in the movefor hemp/ cannabis re-legalization, and deserves national attention.It's high production quality and in-depth, respectful, and honest lookinto the lives of the people this issue affects, puts it well above thebar of marijuana joke movies. This is an issue that is far tooimportant for people to sit back on any longer. Kevin's film reflectsthe humanity behind an often demonized and misunderstood, healing, andpossibly economic panacea herb -- Cannabis marijuana, hemp. Used to belegal. Should be again! Great, educational, funny, and moving movie.Peace. S

A bad documentary in every conceivable way
Since this is not the directors first piece I wonder how he can put outthis disaster of a documentary. The editing, shaky camera-work use ofmusic and storytelling is the worst I have ever seen and remind me ofbad school projects. Technically everything is a mess here... even thelower thirds are irritating. I also was constantly reminded of theFamily Guy Episode where Lois and Peter make music on weed and thinkits cool while everybody else is annoyed of the display of lack oftalent. It just fits this "documentary" on many levels.As for the content... Its hard to concentrate with the irritatingediting that seems to put random shaky pictures of bad footage in ahectic music video fashion on top of an off-speaker who is as annoyingas most of the people interviews here. Its hard to feel sympathy withmost of the people appearing in this documentary from the messed upstoner's to Alex Jones who delivers some painfully staged statements inhis typical "He who screams loudest wins" fashion. Honestly if thismovie achieves anything it makes you wonder if legalizing weed isreally the right thing to do, although you were 100% sure its rightbefore watching this. This movie screams "Drugs are bad" at you whiletalking about the opposite.There are loads of interesting and well done documentaries on thissubject but this is a totally incoherent mess ... its a shame someoneputs out such atrocious work after 20 years of work as a director andeditor. Most of the comments here must be written by people involved inthis production because this documentary fails on every level likeusually only beginners do, so I can't possible think why anyone wouldrate this higher than 3 stars. Stay away!

A Powerful and Funny Film
I had to take a little time to rereview this film as I know several ofthe peeps in it and it is a subject close to my heart (lungs). So ifthis were just a random film about something I cared nothing about Iwould still be super impressed and moved by the film-making andstoryline. The weaving of stories from Jeff and his dog Scabs and CraigX to the Mexican guys in NorCal growing and the wrestler recouping fromher issues is flawless and entertaining. The music is hip and flowswell and Kevins first hand involvement and narration is easy to followand connect with. What really touched me was the Alex Jonescommentaries sprinkled throughout giving the Cali Herb issue nationaland global significance, putting the issue in perspective for manyoutside the ganja scene. Please see this film and show it to anyone youknow who dosen't "get it" about "Hemp Saving the Planet", because itcan and this is how it begins. There are many light, funny moments inthis flick but it is a serious look at one of the premier issues of ourday. Good job Kevin!
