The Union: The Business Behind Getting High

The Union: The Business Behind Getting High

BC's illegal marijuana trade industry has evolved into a business giant, dubbed by some involved as 'The Union', Commanding upwards of $7 billion Canadian annually. With up to 85% of 'BC Bud' being exported to the United States, the trade has become an international issue. Follow filmmaker Adam Scorgie as he demystifies the underground market and brings to light how an industry can function while remaining illegal. Through growers, police officers, criminologists, economists, doctors, politicians and pop culture icons, Scorgie examines the cause and effect nature of the business - an industry that may be profiting more by being illegal.

Great idea

Listen to me jerky
I think that's a great idea as well SCF. I feel like this is a great movie to show people that don't know much about the pot smokers culture/legalization movement/whatever you wanna call it. It's a well articulated/edited production versus many of the other movies on the subject that are available. It does a great job at debunking many of the myths surrounding cannabis. Along with great job at presenting the reasoning behind many different groups not wanting cannabis to be legal. I personally had never really thought about growers wanting it to stay illegal. It uses common sense to explain something that far to many people think is complicated. Everyone should do what they can to spread the word about this movie.

It's amazing how people still think that cannabis is as bad as the government portrays. I hope to see this movie played on IFC. I've showed other documentaries to non smokers before and most have changed their views about it. Eduction is the key, we need to deprogram the masses that have been brainwashed by the Government. This simple plant could change the world.

Yes. This is something i talk about daily. Some look at me crazy. Some people are shocked that Henry Ford made a car out of mostly hemp including the oil and gas and the body which was so strong you could take a sludge hammer too it and it wouldn't dent our break. There are many websites on it. Google Henry Fords Hemp Car.

But of course our government had the marijuana Tax stamp law where you had to have a stamp to grow pot. And they gave none out. Go figure.

You tube footage of the actual car its self. sometime back in the 40s. You can actually see the car driving and a demo of somthing cool.
