While California is going bankrupt, one business is booming. "How Weed Won the West" is the story of the growing medical cannabis / marijuana industry in the greater Los Angeles area, with over 700 dispensaries doling out the buds. Following the story of Organica, a southland dispensary owned by Jeff Joseph that was raided by the DEA in August of '09, the film shows that although much has changed with Obama in office, the War on Drugs is nowhere near over. From Kevin Booth, the producer/director of Showtime's "American Drug War", "How Weed Won the West" puts California forward an example to the rest of the country by documenting how legalizing marijuana can save the economy.

Yeah. The Pro's are winning. They are too mellow to get nasty and get banned. :mrgreen:

Huh?

[Logic]

So the pro-weed campaign is gloating over how it exploited the state of a California's economy to advance their cause instead of winning the ideological battle?

Being pretty much indifferent to the legalization of weed debate, I find this very funny.

Much like the pharmaceutical companies use their money to keep weed illegal.

The ideological battle has already been won.
