Weed Wars "Maryland's Monopoly And The Fight For Free Markets
Click to Unmute
"Weed Wars: Maryland's Monopoly & The Fight For Free Markets" is a provocative documentary that exposes the deep-seated issues within Maryland's legalized cannabis market. Directed by Nicholas Patrick, the film reveals how restrictive policies and monopolistic practices stifle competition and maintain economic and social disparities, rather than fostering an industry with equitable market access. Through interviews with advocates from the Maryland Healthy Alternatives Association, Maryland Cannabis Equity Collective, Maryland Hemp Coalition, and Maryland NORML, the film delves into the manipulation, collusion, and corruption that underpin the current system. This documentary challenges viewers to reconsider the framework of cannabis legislation and advocates for reform towards genuine economic liberty and justice.
