Nat Geo's Explorer: Marijuana Nation tonight, Dec. 2
Marijuana Nation premieres on Tuesday, December 2, at 10 p.m. ET/PT
The big question after all these years and scientific findings, is why the US government still classifies marijuana as a class one drug, akin to heroin and crank.
It's a mystery.
Doctors will tell you the miracles it works for the chronically ill, cancer patients and for a natural sleep aid. It's a crop that earns more than corn, and Americans grow some of the best of it in the world. The legitimate earning potential for farmers and distributors is astronomical.
Big Pharma seemingly won't allow it.
Their lobbyists support the politicians who write the laws and create drug "task forces" to make it onerous for anyone who would prefer a natural euphoric over a sanctioned prescribed legal pill, or heavily taxed shot of alcohol that is much more deleterious to your system.
Cultivation of Marijuana (hemp) stretches back from George Washington’s farm when Pot was the leading cash crop in the United States, to today, with annual profits surpassing $65 billion.
The documentary reveals more than 200 million people around the world smoke the natural herb. Producers claim two million Americans alone will try it this year.
Users represent a cross section of our society, conservatives to liberals, teens to the elderly, from top-earning medical and legal professionals to housewives, laborers
and truck drivers.
It is the single most valuable cash crop in the country, spawning a shadowy multibillion-dollar industry that thrives in communities throughout America.
Correspondent Lisa Ling goes undercover to private fields and indoor state of the art hydroponic farms talking to the very reasonable and resolute people who will not buckle under possible legal ramifications. The movement to end the draconian punishments for possession and growing increase every day, as the population is getting older and sicker, insurance is harder to obtain and pay for and who refuse to be held hostage by Big pharmaceutical companies gouging consumers for legal alternatives.

I don't have TV, (poor folks, lol) so won't be able to see this although I am sure that I will be able to at a later date sometime on-line.
Please watch this for me and let me know what you think.
Much love and respect being sent.
