La marihuana ha sido la droga más controvertida del siglo XX y, aunque nadie haya podido demostrar todavía que provoque enfermedad alguna, continúa siendo perseguida por la mayoría de los gobiernos del mundo. Ron Mann ensambla históricos e histéricos documentos anti-marihuana, imágenes divertidas realizadas por el dibujante underground de comics Paul Mavrides y el talento de la voz de Woody Harrelson, declarado activista en favor de la marihuana. Todo ello para narrar la oscura y cómica historia de esta hierba, elegida por el gobierno de Estados Unidos como símbolo de la destrucción de una sociedad, y por millones de jóvenes a lo largo de muchas décadas como elemento de júbilo, distracción y liberación de la mente.
