In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A documentary with a clear agenda that mostly avoids typical woke tropes, but it leans heavily into one-sided ideological territory when exploring cannabis legalization and related cultural attitudes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely sticks to its documentary premise, focusing on the cannabis industry with a fairly straightforward narrative. There aren’t identity-focused castings or artificially boosted character arcs, mostly interviews and analysis.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The documentary challenges traditional attitudes toward drugs, law enforcement, and health, which some may interpret as undermining established moral norms. However, it doesn’t actively attack family, religion, or masculinity, its critiques focus on policy and cultural fear around cannabis.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The film predominantly presents a pro-legalization perspective, with little genuine engagement with anti-legalization arguments or sincere coverage of alternative worldviews. Opposing voices are present but largely dismissed or framed as out-of-touch.
