More documentaries & series with a cannabis focus

If you are interested in *Weediquette* – here are two recommendations with a journalistic approach:

Grass: The history of cannabis

Narrated by Woody Harrelson – about prohibition, politics & the legalization movement. Grass is ideal for anyone who wants to understand history with weed. Grass looks more into the past and tells the political history of cannabis – Weediquette, on the other hand, shows the current global reality: consumption, laws, fates. More reportage, less retrospective.

• Historical & entertaining
• Many original recordings
• About the movie: Grass

The Business of Drugs

Netflix documentary series about various drug markets – including cannabis. Scientific, critical and well-produced. The Business of Drugs analyzes markets and structures – Weediquette gets closer to the people. Viceland instead of Harvard: more emotional, more personal, more activist.

• Business meets drug cartel
• Tough stuff, strong style
• Watch the trailer: The Business of Drugs
