At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I watched this documentary hoping to view a balanced argument from those for and against the legalisation of cannabis but it was anything but. I have never watched such a one sided and biased documentary. I sat through over one hour of this brain dead propaganda presented by comedians and rappers. The arguments for legalisation were extremely weak and naive and the documentary did not feature a single person arguing against it. It is obvious that those behind this film are pot heads themselves. Ignore all the ridiculously high scores on this site as they have obviously been set by the smokers themselves. If you would like to see an intelligent balanced argument for and against cannabis I'm afraid that you won't find it here.

Just saw this documentary and if you're not from the Netherlands, you're gonna like it a lot. I thinks it's a nice documentary in some ways, but certainly not all. It's seen through the eyes of the Americans to seek a solid argument to legalize marijuana. The thing I didn't like about the documentary is the point(I hope this doesn't spoil it for you) that the makers of the docu let you believe that the new movement of legalizing marijuana in the USA is the first in the world, that they're ahead of the rest, they're certainly not! Luckily they're talking a lot of the medical benefits of marijuana and about the utterly ridiculous amount of money the DEA is spending on catching the little user but sadly not about the flaws of using marijuana, because there are. I think if you're really want to make a good documentary you also have to talk about the negative, otherwise you're selling something. I really enjoyed watching this but at the end it didn't deliver, but worth watching

Well i will start by saying like others did that i had watched "The Union The Business Behind Getting High". I thought that this was the best documentary about legalizing marijuana. Well i was terribly wrong. The Culture High is beyond Godlike. It explains about the "Drug War" about the big drug companies that don't want marijuana to be legalized. The people that are being interviewed really blew my mind! I recommend everyone to watch this documentary even if you are not smoking it or something. Really it's a masterpiece and i hope that this doc was not the last one because world needs to know the truth about a lot of things. Keep it up guys!

I'll spare you the details about why pot should be legal. If you've found this movie then you probably already know. And that's where this documentary has been such a delight to view. It briefly goes into those details and focuses more on the big picture. It posits the question, why did our culture make it illegal in the first place and more importantly why does it continue to keep it illegal by waging a "drug war" that is a clear failure.From politics, to the media, to the prison industry/asset forfeitures, to drug cartels, to pharmaceuticals, to big corporations, it all boils down to making money. Each has a stake in keeping the status quo and in keeping marijuana illegal. And that's where this documentary is so much more different than so many other legalize pot docs. It looks at our society as a whole and asks those big questions in an objective manner in spite of its advocacy to legalize pot. Instead of preaching about why pot is so groovy, it focuses on how money corrupts our culture's institutions and how people are controlled to think a certain way.Irregardless of the hopelessness and powerlessness one feels when watching how money corrupts almost every aspect of our society, this documentary at the end left me with some feeling of hope that things just might change. Not just in regards to legalizing pot nationally, but that the internet and the flow of information might some day open more doors than those in power keep trying to close. That our society and the world can become a better place.Rather then get more preachy I'll just say this, in my humble opinion I would rank this as one of, if not the best documentary on legalizing pot. It's an all encompassing informative documentary on the topic well worth two hours of your time.
