Marijuana Australiana Documentary

Many preconceptions about cannabis are based on the decades old doctrine of the War on Drugs and reconsideration of this paradigm is currently the subject of global debate. Many esteemed, high profile public figures (some of whom feature in the doco) have come out in calling for an end to this expensive, destructive and wasteful failure of policy and ideology.
In Australia, cannabis law reform is slowly becoming part of the public discourse with NSW recently holding a parliamentary inquiry into the medical use of the drug. Marijuana Australiana charts these developments while also documenting the untold and surprisingly rich history of cannabis in Australia. The film takes us right back to era of Joseph Banks and also documents the role of cannabis in the emergence of Australia's first counter culture movements.
