Here’s a simple and intelligent animated film that explains in layman’s terms how this massive international banking conspiracy and Ponzi scheme came into play. If you don’t have a better understanding of the current situation after watching this film, chances are you willingly allowed this to happen to you and your family.

the union: the business behind getting high

Published on March 10, 2009 in movies. 0 Comments

It is very seldom that I come across an opportunity in which it allows me to utilize a spectrum of human emotions such as this film. There were many times when I laughed in pure enjoyment at how open minded the scientists, doctors, policy makers, activists and former high level law enforcement officials interviewed in this film, discussed how antiquated and archaic our Marijuana prohibition laws have become. Canadian filmmakers Brett Harvey and Adam Scorgie take us on an in depth journey of a well documented and balanced look into the world of Cannabis, its pros and for a lack of a better word, its cons, or lack thereof. As we’re moving towards the year 2010 and a soon to be legal solution, it is always a wonderful feeling to know that the reputable names and faces behind the legalization of Marijuana continue to appear in groundbreaking documentaries like The Union.

I have to admit that when Adam Scorgie interviewed Greg Cooper, a patient who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis and Ataxia, I teared up not because of his obvious suffering but because of the thousands if not tens of thousands of patients who are pushed and lied to by Big Pharma into believing that their proprietarily synthetic and highly profitable drugs are the only solution to a patient’s physical ails. Make no mistake, the world of legalizing this natural plant is as complex as any other prohibition law the comes under scrutiny. In the the case of The Union, the film places all of its doubts, propaganda and common misconceptions into clear perspective to where the viewer is left to make up their own mind.

From the skillful editing of the well researched stock footage, to the animation, the actual interviews and its melodic original score, it is quite obvious why The Union has gone on to win several if not many film festival awards and garnered stellar reviews. No, you don’t have to be high and you don’t have to live your life as a stoner in order to enjoy this intelligent and passionate piece about the immoral war on drugs, the suppression of free energy by Big Oil, the unlimited resources for medicinal use, the benefits of taxation and the overall right to know the truth. The Union: The Business Behind Getting High deserves its place as one of the best up to date documentaries covering the subject. I highly recommend this incredible and though provoking film. Enjoy it. I did.
