California's Cash Crop Crackup

And no joke on the "cash crop crackup," especially if Prop 19 passes. A new pro-pot documentary, "Cash Crop," is now playing in theaters. The review at LAT isn't particularly enthusiastic (focusing on growers, the film avoids the second and third stage marijuana markets, where the real complications and casualties of decriminalization will be found). And no doubt the reviews of the state's pot initiative won't be all that enthusiastic either, should the measure pass next month (which is looking less likely, thank goodness: "New poll shows California tilting against legalized marijuana").
