British Columbia’s most profitable industries include logging, fishing, tourism and marijuana growing. The illegal marijuana trade has evolved from the counter-culture hobby of the 1960s into an unstoppable business giant doing $7 billion annually, dubbed by those involved as “The Union.” With up to 85% of all ‘BC Bud’ being exported to the United States, the BC marijuana trade has become an international issue. Filmmakers Brett Harvey and Adam Scorgie tackle this exploration of the trade with humor and insight as they interview growers, clippers, police officers, criminologists, economists, and historians, and ask: Why is it illegal? Are there health risks? Does prohibition work? What might legalization look like? Sponsored by Buch Spieler. Post-film event: State Representative David Zuckerman will discuss the film after the Wednesday, March 26, show. No rating, 104 minutes. Film website
