"A fascinating investigation into the inner workings of today's exploding American marijuana industry Based on extensive research and interviews by Trish Regan, whose Emmy nominated documentary Marijuana, Inc. attracted more viewers than any documentary in CNBC's history Regan examines all aspects of this new culture. She reveals how small time growers get their start, make (or lose) a fortune, struggle with violence, try to keep up with constantly changing laws and regulations all while walking an increasingly fine line with the Feds"--
"Regan finds . . . that things are hardly that simple, or mellow, in the marijuana game. It long ago became a big business and today in many areas is moving toward legitimacy." --RICHARD HUFF, New York Daily News "A crisp, informative report on America's creeping legalization of reefer in the guise of medical marijuana. The momentum only grows as businessmen and bureaucrats get addicted to the cash that legal marijuana generates." --GLENN GARVIN, The Miami Herald "[Regan] cuts through the smoke and sheds light on the booming billion-dollar trade some now call the new gold rush. [She] reports from northern California's 'Emerald Triangle'--long considered the U.S. pot growing capital, and follows the tales of growers--otherwise average law abiding citizens--and the law enforcement officials who work to shut them down. Regan delves into the increasingly dark side of the biz that is rife with gangs, violence, and agricultural pollution." --Don Kaplan, New York Post "Trish Regan explores the inner workings of an industry that lights up the economy by an estimated tens of billions of dollars nationwide. But according to the program, every American is an unpaid, unwitting party to the process: pot gardens have been established by outlaw growers in national parks and other public lands, where an estimated 70 percent of domestic, outdoor marijuana is now grown. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it." --FRAZIER MOORE, Associated Press "A solid special with a well-supported and inescapable conclusion: the commerce is unlikely to change, and the law has only a slim chance of doing more than containing the most violence-prone offenders. When it comes to marijuana, a whole lot of people voted some time ago to just say yes." --DAVID HINCKLEY, New York Daily News
