Reporter Lisa Ling visits Vancouver's Pot Block, as well as some secret and not-so-secret marijuana growing operations and other relevant pot spots.

News???
This would only be news if the show was written, filmed and produced in or around 2012... NOT 2008... For anyone who didn't know there's a good episode of Seinfeld on right now...
Behind the times
Just like prohibition laws. Way behind the times. LoL.
It's with disgust that I
It's with disgust that I watch the beginning of this show where you can see the obscene hysteria around prohibition.
Am I the only one who thinks that militarized cops flying around in helicopters looking for plants is completely absurd!! How do these people sleep at night???
They are the reason there's Billions of dollars being laundered and Trillions of dollars being wasted in government spending on this lunacy we call cannabis prohibition.
what a waste of time. When
what a waste of time. When was this written ? Does this reporter think that she is actually reporting something new? Perhaps she wanted to include the vast amount of new evidence but her bosses wanted it included and mentioned as anecdotal evidence. When will we get a real documentary. Oh ya we have to wait until "The culture high" comes out. Bad job, late reporting, and laced with conservative narrow minded,non-evidence based overtones. It was like watching something from 1996.
I stumbled upon this
I stumbled upon this information earlier today while at work. Very educational. Sent the website link to myself and will probably bookmark it when I make it home.
