Grass

Overview

In Holland the consumption of marijuana has been legal for decades and socially tolerated since the 16th century, and this is contrasted to Uruguay, where grass has to be grown clandestinely and where the people who consume it are treated as criminals. This documentary examines these contradictions without hypocrisy and in an informed way, and looks at legalisation, people growing their own, and the crusade against drugs and the dogmatism behind it.
