Waldo on Weed - DVD

Cannabis has been off-limits to doctors and researchers in the US for the past 80 years, but recently scientists have discovered it's anti-cancer properties. Armed with only these laboratory studies, desperate parents obtain cannabis oil from underground sources to save their children from childhood cancers. Weed the People follows these families through uncharted waters as they take their children's survival into their own hands. Some of their miraculous outcomes beget the unsettling question at the heart of the film If weed is truly saving lives, why doesn't the government want people to access it?

As cannabis use continues to rise, a number of countries around the world have taken a radical course of action turn their backs on fifty years of repressive, costly, and ineffective drug policy and instead get into the drug dealing business. How does this massive shift impact dealers, cartels, government, and drug users?
