《大麻调查》是2007年的一部纪录片。由Brett Harvey执导,Chris Bennett等联袂主演。大麻调查,又名The Union:The Business Behind Getting High、联合国,日渐壮大的产业。Ever wonder what British Columbia's most profitable industries are? Logging? Fishing? Tourism? Ever think to include Marijuana? If you haven't, think again. BC's illegal marijuana trade has evolved into a unstoppable business giant, dubbed by those involved as 'The Union'. Commanding upwards of $7 billion annually, The Union's roots stretch far and wide with 65% to 85% of all 'BC Bud' being exported to the United States. When record profits are to be made, who are the players, and when do their motives become questionable?
究竟哪个是不列颠哥伦比亚省最大的盈利产业?木材业?渔业?旅游业?叶包裹大麻毒品?如果你不清楚的话,恐怕你的认识要更新一下。大不列颠哥伦比亚省的非法大麻交易已经逐渐形成了一个势不可挡的巨大商业链条,有人给这个链条起了个有趣的名字“联合国”。
每年有超过七十亿美元的利益,联合国的触角延伸到不列颠哥伦比亚省的65%到85%的产业,大有进军美国的势头。这个产业是从什么时候开始的,谁是主要的操控者,动机如何,这是要探讨的问题。

我们真正面临的健康风险是什么
有什么预防措施吗
如果我们按照正常产业向其征收税金,那又会如何
医疗,造纸,能源,纺织,食品,等等,我们缺少产业链条吗

An excellent documentary on marijuana, exposing how ignorance and vested interests can lead to collective irrationality and a deadweight loss to our general welfare. One wonders what would benefit US society more: keeping locked up at taxpayers' expense close to 50 thousand violators of marijuana laws, or incarcerating all major opponents of marijuana legalization who have knowingly promoted lies and misinformation?
一部完美揭示大麻产业的纪录片,告诉我们是多么的无知,既得利益导致了这一不合理的存在,及对社会造成了多少无谓的损失。有人问这能给美国社会带来什么,继续封锁纳税人对五万瘾君子的投入,还是把阻止大麻合法化的人都抓起来?

影迷点评:
一个响亮的名号 说:有数据,有理论。但有些reasoning的方式不对,太情绪化,用力过度,反而没有那么有说服力。不过大麻确实是没那么有害,立法和禁令确实也是政治需要/历史原因造成。
切开的血管 说:和cowspiracy一个路数…立场性比较强的一个纪录片。更加坚信的一点是世界上大部分人也许在坚持着完全错误的事情,而且很有可能会一直错下去
思阳 说:打五星纯粹是因为我极端的拥护大麻合法化。我觉得我也应该为此尽一番力所能及的微薄之力。
