"How Weed Won the West" is the story of the growing medical cannabis / marijuana industry in the greater Los Angeles area, with over 700 dispensaries doling out the buds.  As a treatment for conditions ranging from cancer and AIDS, to anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia, cannabis is quickly proving itself as a healthier natural alternative to many prescription drugs.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzT1a1NKoKM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Edevilducky%2Ecom%2Fmedia%2F175723%2F&feature=player_embedded"><DIV>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.  From Kevin Booth, the producer/director of Showtime's "American Drug War",  "How Weed Won the West" puts California forward as an example to the rest of the country by documenting how legalizing marijuana can help save the economy.  </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzT1a1NKoKM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Edevilducky%2Ecom%2Fmedia%2F175723%2F&feature=player_embedded"><BR /><A dir="ltr" rel="nofollow" title="http://SacredCow.com" target="_blank" href="http://SacredCow.com">http://SacredCow.com</A><BR /><A dir="ltr" rel="nofollow" title="http://HowWeedWonTheWest.com" target="_blank" href="http://HowWeedWonTheWest.com">http://HowWeedWonTheWest.com</A><BR /><DIV><A dir="ltr" rel="nofollow" title="http://AmericanDrugWar.com" target="_blank" href="http://AmericanDrugWar.com">http://AmericanDrugWar.com</A></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzT1a1NKoKM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Edevilducky%2Ecom%2Fmedia%2F175723%2F&feature=player_embedded"><div align="center"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MzT1a1NKoKM&hl=en&fs=1&" height="329" width="400" wmode="opaque" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EF1B0E04-3740-43FB-A1FD-FC6D9F05B1D3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
