In POT We Trust

In Pot We Trust tells the story of four medical marijuana patients, against the backdrop of last year’s Hinchey-Rohrabacher vote. The filmmakers follow MPP’s Aaron Houston through the halls of Congress, then join the DEA as they uproot marijuana plants in the hills of California. Marijuana experts such as Lester Grinspoon provide insight into the drug’s benefits, while prohibitionists Joe Califano and Robert Dupont explain why they’ve dedicated themselves to criminalizing sick people.

The film is invaluable because patients themselves make the best spokespeople for medical marijuana.

The ulterior motives so often attributed to the medical marijuana legalization effort become irrelevant

here, as we meet the actual people whose health and wellbeing lies at the center of this controversy.

The medical use of marijuana is examined from every side of a very complex issue with this documentary

that charts the suffering of four chronically ill patients whose reliance on the illegal drug as a pain killer is

in jeopardy due to federal anti-narcotic legislation. Reform organizations, prohibitionist groups, politicians,

drug war critics, scientists, and celebrities all get their say in this fascinating analysis.
