Thought Provoking and Entertaining
"Guns and Weed" is an interesting and well made documentary style video that uses current events, music video interludes, interviews, and satirical sketch humor to make the case the "Right to Keep and Bear Arms" and the "Freedom of Ingestion" should both be considered "rights". This is firmly made with a Libertarian outlook and will certainly not appeal to, and might even offend, those with strong leanings either to the Left or Right of the political spectrum.
From a purely informative standpoint, the video presents a lot of history on both gun control and the war on drugs, going back to the founding of the county, through prohibition, into modern times. While I am an active supporter of the 2nd Amendment and involved in shooting sports, I never gave much thought to ban on "pot" since I don't have any interest in that drug for my own use. I did find the history presented and the shocking legislative ties to the ban on marijuana based on severely raciest propaganda eye...
GREAT! A MUST-SEE!
What an excellent and informative film! I was both entertained and educated. The most basic of human rights is surely the right to control one's own consciousness, and as long as the hypocritical 'war on drugs' continues to be senselessly waged, we need informational resources like this to enlighten the sleepwalking masses. In a truly free society, such a policy clearly has no place. The 'guns' aspect of 'Guns and Weed' is equally enlightening. Thanks to the 100 million gun owners in the US, we may yet have a chance to claim the ideals of freedom that this country was (supposed to be) founded on. Show this film to all of your closed-minded friends.
The Naked Truth
Movie makes a great case for the idea that, if you want to be free, you must allow others to be free. Even if you do not like the way they exercise their freedom. Also makes a great case for decriminalizing victimless actions. It is all very libertarian.
Remember: making a law removes a liberty!
