The Culture High (2014)

Very best movie i ever watch

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

If you are of the opinion that corporations run the world and see a powerful conspiracy supporting every policy with which you don't agree, this is the film to confirm your worldview. If you would like to be educated on the failure of marijuana prohibition, the first 45 minutes of this movie does a decent job. But then it spins out into a disjointed, paranoid analysis of everything from media to campaign finance to drug development and beyond. It is really disappointing to invest 45 minutes, be tantalized by the beginnings of a good argument for marijuana law reform, then watch it get more and more ridiculous. Anybody that subscribes to the conspiracy theories played out in the last hour or so of the movie are people who already think marijuana laws need reform. The second half of the movie kills the credibility of the first half. Most people who are undecided on the issue are going to be lost an hour into the movie. Missed opportunity to convey a powerful message.

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.

I've seen their first film The Union, many other pot and drug documentaries and read books by Gabor Matè and Tom Feiling etc. but still Culture High managed to blow my mind.Like the director Brett Harvey said, Marijuana touches pretty much every issue that is wrong in the world. It's not that legalizing pot would solve all the problems in the world, but it's all the injustices in the world that are actually keeping pot illegal.And it's not just the topic and the content that makes this film so good. It's technically and storytelling-wise pure gold. These guys aren't really pot activist, they are film makers and at least in the field of documentaries, they are one of the best at the moment. I guess the only reason they aren't more known is because you can't really get critical acclaim in this world by making a movie about pot - yet ;)This documentary really has potential to inspire change in the world. So thanks guys for incredible work!
