Evergreen: The Road to Legalization in Washington

Sep 9 2014 N/A 1h 26m
Documentary

A documentary on how Washington State legalized recreational marijuana and the effects of this decision on the state, the nation and the world.

Plot

A state in the upper-left corner of America becomes a key battleground in the fight for cannabis prohibition reform. A growing medical pot industry paves the way for cultural change in Washington State, and the architects of Initiative 502 put forth a plan they feel will balance the delicate politics of the region and stand a chance to pass in November. But many in the local cannabis community are vehemently opposed to I-502, saying it imposes harsh and scientifically arbitrary DUI laws, new taxes, additional restrictions and penalties that negatively impact youth, medical marijuana patients and care providers.
