😸
Edition screened: Included on Vinegar Syndrome DVD #144, 3 Documentaries by Alex de Renzy, released 2016. English language. Runtime approximately 116 minutes.
Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.
Weed explores the cultivation, transportation, trade, legality, and usage of marijuana, beginning in the southwest U.S. and Mexico, then including generous travel and interviews in Nepal, Cambodia, and Thailand. Street scenes filmed in Vietnam War-era cities in southwest Asia are particularly interesting. As someone with no investment in marijuana issues one way or the other, I found Weed an enjoyable and informative travelogue with a provocative theme.
