The union: The business behind being high


The Union is a Canadian documentary that was released in June of 2007. The film was about the growth, production, sale, and use of marijuana. It shows you the business side of the marijuana industry. It also speaks a lot on why marijuana is illegal and disproves a lot of the myths about marijuana. The union is a great film but its theatrical run was limited to film festivals. As far as reviews go the film is love or hate. 95% of the reviews are from people that absolutely adore the film, they say that its a very well put together documentary and is full of useful information. The rest of the reviews are from stubborn conservatives that claim that the movie is biased. They say that it only shows why marijuana should be legal and doesn't show why it should stay illegal. Well, there just simply isn't any good reason for it to remain illegal, all of the reasons have been disproved. There's also the fact that anything that wasn't disproved in the film is already found in other legal drugs. For example there's the fact that people under the influence of marijuana can be dangerous behind the wheel of a car, well the same can be said for people under the influence of alcohol.
