Review of Grass is Greener

This is part of a bunch of movies that Netflix put up which are reportedly about drugs, but they are more about the way politicians and the media have used the concept of drugs to promote their agendas. Some are good, like the Cocaine one, some are bad, like this one. It's not badly done, you see, it's just monochromatic - pardon my color bias. It talks about the drug being inoffensive, then getting in the attention of media and government and how minorities are being oppressed using weed as an excuse and it doesn't stop. It just goes on and on to the point where in the end they complain that people of color with "knowledge" of marijuana who have been imprisoned because of that are now not part of the marijuana boom that came after legalization. So I kind of downrate this film because it is misleading, telling me it's about grass, but in fact being about racism.

So yeah, War on Drugs is awful, prisons making money off of Black detainees that shouldn't be there are awful, capitalism is awful too. It's all about the money. If you're poor and in the system, you don't stand a chance. And yes, fight racism, minimize inequality, but for crying out loud don't complain because you are missing out on that sweet ganja money!
