Best movie of this year hands down!

A Masterpiece!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

..I got them within the first sixty seconds of watching. I got them a second time when I visited IMDb and found that this film has a 37 out of 100 rating by critics. Chills. Not only is this in extreme contrast to the audiences response it is also staggering to watch this film turn into prophecy. The Culture High received negative to mediocre reviews by critics of the New York Times, Village Voice, Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, which evidently shared a very common theme of calling the film biased, amateurish, generalizing and underqualified. I personally never valued their critical responses on films, considering that I do value the reviews of quite a few others. So while I am stunned, I am certainly not surprised that specifically these papers published BS criticism. Now this might not be much of a review itself, but my lack of criticisms on The Culture High can be explained by the fact that I do not have any. This is an essential film. Just ask the people.

The film's opening sequence of a man's house being raided, his dog being shot, and his family being terrified, by a SWAT team sent it for a weed bust aptly set the tone of this film. This film does not hold back in its attack against the forces that oppose the legalisation of weed. Naturally it's enemy is the Federal Government of USA. However in a broader perspective it looks at the influence of the prescription drug corporations and also the media.Most of the points made in this film have been publicised before in other documentaries, articles, podcasts and interviews. However the academics and scientists interviewed manage to reinforce these ideas in an extremely compelling way, such that one can not feel like decriminalisation is an absolute necessity for the social wellbeing of our nature. The insights from other stereotypical "weed celebrities" such as Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa offer little to this film.Where the film lacks is in its limited discussion of the most recent policy changes in Colorado and Washington State. If we want to look at the need for policy changes nationally, surely a longer conservation on the reform in these two states would give weight to decriminalisation. In a similar vein, this film pays no attention to the legalization of weed in foreign countries.Worth a watch if you're at all interested in the subject of legalisation.

The best 2 hours I have spent in a long time. You always believe you know a lot on a given topic but there is always so much more empirical knowledge rather than "they say that...." or "i heard somewhere that..." and this documentary gives all of that to you straight forward and with so much evidence to back up every claim as well well known names in media to support it. Please watch, no matter your stance on anything, you'll learn something you didn't know beforehand I promise. It's not just about "pot" it's about something bigger...have an open mind. We're at the brink of big change and the last thing we need are more fascists.

This movie is not just about legalizing marijuana, but instead all the supporting information that make us question the people that head our government. This documentary brings arguments to the table that would make our politicians stutter and make us wonder why the hell we're letting some shi*t fly. Wonderfully crafted with brilliantly featured guests with well thought out arguments. When did conspiracy theories become a bad thing???? I'd recommend this to not only the lonely fellow stoner but to the voting American. Even the news, or what we believe to be news, is just out for the money. Even at the end of the day our president, is a politician. At the end of the day, there a too many people in jails ripped away from their families for minor offenses when at the same time in the world a rich person would get off for the same crime with just a fine.
