'Grass' obviously more or less documents America's war on cannabis and the various media angles used to 'educate' the masses on the dangers involving in using it. While the film is far from perfect, it does manage to capture some truly interesting moments in the history on the war on drugs. For instance, look for the funny cartoon commercial of a guy with a pot on his head, beating himself on the head (pot) with a utensil. ('Pot-head')
Good laugh. Quite informative and interesting. Overall, certainly worth the viewing time.
Rating - 7/10
