When We Grow is a very informative, 45 minute documentary that explores the facts about cannabis, from the history of cannabis prohibition to industrial hemp and medicinal marijuana, presented in clear and accessible manner. Wonderful for sharing with those who are still in need of education on the matter.
Video description:
Video: Koyaanisqatsi (1982) at 1552% speed. (The year 1552 marks the publication of “A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies,” an account of the mistreatment of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas)
Audio: “The Holy Egoism of Genius,” from the 1999 Art of Noise album The Seduction of Claude Debussy.
*I have only the highest respect for Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass (as well as The Art of Noise). This experiment is not meant in any way to diminish the emotional and atmospheric power of the original film, and I highly recommend anyone who has not seen it to do so before viewing this.

An exquisite 8 minute documentary-style interview with Nick Sand, the chemical revolutionary who synthesized the renowned Orange Sunshine and was the first person to discover the effects of DMT could be experienced by smoking it.
DMT is chemical produced and used by the human nervous system. It can be found in almost any plant or animal species and is a psychedelic chemical that is used in shamanic healing practices of South America. DMT is also listed as a Schedule 1 substance. According to the US government, not only are nature and shamanism illegal, but so are YOU, of possession AND manufacturing of an “illegal narcotic.”
This documentary appears to be an impressive and timely mash-up of fringe and esoteric memes such as exopolitics and free energy with key points of societal change such as the monetary system and sustainable living practices.
