00:00Some of the first weapon restriction laws in the United States were passed in the South
00:09in the 1870s as a response to the freeing of recently enslaved African Americans.
00:16Since time began, tyrants have taken aim at personal liberties.
00:20Now there's a movie that aims back.
00:23The government has no more right to tell us what to put in our bodies than they have to
00:27take our gun or tell us what books we can read.
00:33I wonder how prohibitionists would feel if they saw medical marijuana vastly improve
00:38the life of someone dear to them.
00:39Today, many cops who enforce pot laws do so only because it provides them with cushy jobs,
00:45good benefits, and a chance to push people around.
00:48I was an undercover narcotics officer.
00:50The drug war is nothing but a farce.
00:52At one store I get a high point, nine milli, papers for my joint, and a pack of Phillies.
00:59Yes, I'm feeling very honored, but if the world were truly free, I could also buy my
01:04marijuana and despise the very thought of.
01:06In fact, take a look at this.
01:08Took my sack, taxed my cigarettes, and my trans-fatty acid.
01:11Only tape I see is red fed.
01:13Goons are keying, stomping, and the sheet is popping.
01:15Now shoot your dog dead with a pussy two, two, three.
01:18There's no longer the shady behind the back alley.
01:21Hand a bag over, hand some cash over.
01:23Now it's open.
01:24We're here.
01:25We have three of our signature strange.
01:26This is all being raffled away the day before Halloween.
01:29So someone's going to have one of the best Halloweens of their life.
01:31Six drug police were eaten by bears while raiding a marijuana farm.
01:35On your knees, you dirty hippies!
01:37On your knees!
01:38What's the problem, officer?
01:39We have abdicated ownership of our own bodies and lives.
01:45And it doesn't make any difference at all
01:47whether that's guns or marijuana or automobiles or our marriages.
01:53The Second Amendment says you've got to keep you and your gat intact.
01:57Guns and Weed, The Road to Freedom.
02:00A film by Michael W. Dean and Nima Vidotti.
