How Weed Won The West is the sequel to ‘American drug War’ and an iconic mainstream documentary film based of the marijuana anti-prohibition movement.

It opens viewer’s eyesto the detrimental economic, social and human ramifications created by marijuana prohibition.

It delves deeply into the culture and commerce of cannabis featuring California’s ganja growers, medicinal marijuana patients and law reform advocates.

It features Kevin Booth’s vivid document from behind the front lines of the “war on pot”, blowing the lid off a multi-billion dollar industry on the verge.

It takes the viewer through a journey of real life stories involving the relatively new California legal marijuana industry using a stimulating angle which does not focus strictly on the medicinal value of marijuana. The widespread responsible consumption of marijuana for personal recreation and mood augmentation is addressed as well.
