Documentary Description
Although it's illegal, over 15 million people have tried cannabis.
Even politicians admit to having smoked it in their youth. But, in the
press, there are more and more frightening stories about the effects of
the drug, and there's a growing debate about whether cannabis should be
reclassified as a class B drug. Immersive journalist Nicky Taylor is off
to Amsterdam to investigate. While there, she helps out in a coffee
shop selling cannabis and discovers firsthand how the drug affects daily
life. Back in the UK, Nicky finds out about the genetically modified
cannabis called "skunk," which is cheap and increasingly sold on the
streets.
Can marijuana make you crazy? Is it worse than alcohol? And is it
stronger than it used to be? Nicky takes part in a groundbreaking
medical trial to answer these questions. Her month-long experiment is
both disturbing and revealing.
