CNBC show last night, 5/17 "Marijuana Inc."

Timecow · 05-18-2009, 06:30 PM

Did anyone else catch this program? It was mostly about the money being made in the illegal MJ business. Seems to me it was just more of the same... "The evils of pot" BS. They even showed a family moving out of the Humboldt area where they lived for years because they were worried about all the pot farms near them. (There had been some violence near them, so who can blame them...) They more or less made it out to be evil as they always do. Even though they showed some medical users and explained how MJ has helped them, the overall tone of the show was anti.

The funny thing is, EVERYTHING they showed about the grow opps, the violence, the theft, AND the millions being spent on the "War Against Marijuana" could be solved by making it legal. SOLVED. Not one word was said about that of course, but it struck me as "funny" that they were trying to show that it was a huge problem (Especially in the Emerald Triangle), but what they showed to anyone with a clue (Half the American public ruled out right there...) is that PROHIBITION is the reason for all the problems they showed. Every one of the "Evils" they showed would go away if MJ was made legal.

When are we going to get a show on a major network that at least shows the truth? It doesn't even have to be Pro-Legalization, just the TRUTH. MY guess... Not until AFTER it's legal.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else saw it, and what they thought...

I watched the program sometime back in the winter when it first aired. I found it interesting as well as amusing.
