Movie: The Union: The Business Behind Getting High (2007)
“BC’s illegal marijuana trade industry has evolved into a business giant, dubbed by some involved as ‘The Union’, Commanding upwards of $7 billion Canadian annually. With up to 85% of ‘BC Bud’ being exported to the United States, the trade has become an international issue. Follow filmmaker Adam Scorgie as he demystifies the underground market and brings to light how an industry can function while remaining illegal. Through growers, police officers, criminologists, economists, doctors, politicians and pop culture icons, Scorgie examines the cause and effect nature of the business – an industry that may be profiting more by being illegal.

This is one of the most well-produced, informative, and interesting documentaries I’ve ever seen. 10 out of 10.
This documentary is on point and very informative. the only thing I feel they left out was any information on codex alimentarius. codex alimentarius is a U.N. organized program run buy the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The point of codex alimentarius is for the pharmaceutical companies to own everything plant and synthetic and create a monopoly. they have declared vitamins and minerals as toxins and are behind the ideas such as public water flouridation. under this codex a dr’s. prescription would be required to obtain things like vitamin c and aloe vera to marijuana and morphine, all at inflated prices and all from the giant pharma machine. read it yourself i didn’t make this shit up.
