There's starting to be these cookie cutter documentaries produced by the networks involving behind the scene looks at California's medical cannabis industry. For guys like us it's a hour wasted of our lives watching them, but we know the players so we tune in to root them on.
These are getting so predictable and the latest from CNBC is just another one that divides the hour into 4 15 minute segments. They always start in the Emerald triangle, Mendocino and the like. They are amazed at our pot trees and can't keep their cameras off them. They talk to growers, the sheriff, the supervisor and people who are moving away because the trailer next door burned down in their park. Yawn.
Then for the second segment they go to school, they pop into the Oaksterdam University and then off to the Blue Sky for some album flipping. Richard is cool until little miss snoop ass reporter broad starts getting into facts and figures and he sets her straight about his man love for Javiar so there's no taunting.
Off to segment 3 where some dude smuggles weed into San Francisco bay, more boredom sets in and I'm wishing these documentaries were about a half hour long.
Segment 4 rushes into spending about 10 billion a year on fancy helicopters and the failed eradication efforts brought about by our government's total lack of recognition that theirs more of us than their is of them. We will over grow you! John Walters tells us these Mexican nationals are kidnapped and forced to grow in national forests under the threat of harm to their family. Makes perfect sense that the kidnapped disgruntled workers make the best and most passionate growers.
In the end the helicopter pilots admits his failure and disappears into the ever widening spiral of his own insignificance. So there's the script for about 90% of these boring documentaries they're making. And I hope they make 100 more of these because you know these neanderthals living in non MMJ states are drooling all over themselves as they imagine flipping through the album at Blue Sky. They want to be like us.
While watching a preview on CNBC one of the anchors, when they come back from the preview, an old republican looking dude is muttering this is just disgusting. This is terrible. He's funny!
