How Weed Won The West (http://howweedwonthewest.com/) delves deeply into the culture and commerce of cannabis featuring California's ganja growers,medicinal marijuana patients and law reform advocates. Kevin Booth's vivid document from behind the front lines of the "war on pot" blows the lid off a multi-billion dollar industry on the verge. Danny Danko HIGH TIMES Magazine

With California and the rest of the country going bankrupt, one business is booming. How Weed Won the West is the story of the growing Medical Marijuana industry, focusing on Los Angeles with over 700 legal dispensaries doling out the buds. Following the story of Organica, a southland dispensary which was raided by state and federal agencies in August of 2009, the film shows that although much has changed with Obama in office, the drug war is nowhere near over. Kevin Booth, producer/director of American Drug War, picks up where the last film left off and continues his fight against the hypocrisy of the War on Drugs. Intended to inform and entertain, this fast paced and even sometimes funny film features Texas conspiracy guru Alex Jones, Ethan Nadelmann head of Drug Policy Alliance, and a host of amazing characters including a former LAPD narcotics officer who now thinks all drugs should be legal.

We'll start the film around 7:25, there's a yoga class that ends at 7:15 in the next room, so if you get there early, they'll appreciate your voice being low until they leave.

Stick around for our Q&A session after the movie ends, the conversations are always great, thought provoking, and extremely friendly. Not that we'd squash a heated discussion, but they tend to not happen, our crowd is, and has always been, very respectful of each other.

We usually head over to North Third, the bar on 3rd & Brown (one block away), to hang out for a bit, join us, we're always a good time.

If you haven't seen this film, do what you can to be here. If you've seen it enough times to recite it word for word, then invite / send / bring guests. As always, there is no charge for this screening, however, donations are encouraged to help pay for the venue. See you all then!
