CNBC Documentary: Marijuana Inc.
January 16th, 2009 by Alex
CNBC is coming out with a marijuana documentary called ‘Marijuana Inc: Inside America’s Pot Industry‘. As the name suggests, the story focuses on the monetary gains of the pot cultivation and distribution industry in California.
It covers the usual range of subjects:
- Cultivation and suburban/rural grow oeprations
- Dispensaries and the questionable legality they rely on
- Increased crime rate in Mendocino county and other grower-heavy areas
- State & federal level arrests and prosecutions
It should be interesting to see a corporate-produced documentary on the marijuana industry and its effect on the American community, as compared to the multiple independent efforts that have been released over the past year. What do you think, will the overall tone be negative or positive?
We’ll be watching, if you want to see Marijuana Inc., check your local listings for the correct channel, the documentary premieres on Thursday, January 22nd at 9pm & 1am EST.
