Summary of The Union: The Business Behind Getting High

BC's illegal marijuana trade industry has evolved into a business giant, dubbed by some involved as 'The Union', Commanding upwards of $7 billion Canadian annually. With up to 85% of 'BC Bud' being exported to the United States, the trade has become an international issue. Follow filmmaker Adam Scorgie as he demystifies the underground market and brings to light how an industry can function while remaining illegal. Through growers, police officers, criminologists, economists, doctors, politicians and pop culture icons, Scorgie examines the cause and effect nature of the business - an industry that may be profiting more by being illegal.

Im not a an active smoker, but am sort of friends with some. Ive seen marijuana documentaries before, but this was something else. In all this film has about 4 or 5 acts in it, but those docus Ive seen were decently good and only cover 1 or 2 of...
Was interesting - particularly in the middle with the grow ops - but got boring toward the end and the conclusion the only thing clear is that its confusing was disappointing.
