      sean l A flighty, dull peek at the underground marijuana distribution system of the early 1970s, complete with tie dye, VW buses and a soft-focused romp through fields of hemp at sunset. Stereotypically '70s in almost every fashion, it's shot on cheap stock with a bad soundtrack, boring subjects and jumpy editing. It's interesting in a purely historical sense, as we get a pretty good idea of where law enforcement stood in regards to the substance a decade before Nancy Reagan instituted the war on drugs, but viewers out for a bit more insight are due to be sorely disappointed. A slow, bland pass at a potentially fiery, passionate subject, it's cool to see the narrator reach out of a moving car to grab a fistful of buds off of a roadside plant, but that's about the extent of the excitement. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Since this is a mockumentary all the dope in this is garbage. It just makes you you want to buy a copy of High Times just so you can see some healthy looking bud Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
