WAITING TO INHALE

Directed by: Jed Riffe 

Approximately 73 Minutes

WAITING TO INHALE examines the heated debate over marijuana and its use as medicine in the United States. Twelve states have passed legislation to protect patients who use medical marijuana. Yet opponents claim the medical argument is just a smokescreen for a different agenda - to legalize marijuana for recreation and profit. What claims are being made, and what are the stakes?

March 16 - LOCKDOWN - examines the cruel and unusual harshness of our drug penalties and the inequities in their application as well as  the disproportionate percentage of blacks in the prison population.
April 20 - AMERICAN DRUG WARS - tallies the damage done to people, the money wasted, the special interests served and the ultimately un-winnable nature of the war itself. "
