Horton speaks on the challenges of getting into the craft cannabis market, and thriving in an industry that’s largely (and ironically) white-washed. Horton says he was arrested three times for cannabis possession—each time having less than two grams on his person—and explains how those arrests followed him for years, and even got him kicked out of college.

Along with lots of scenic shots of Portland, and a stop at Oregon's Finest, the city is also represented by former Trail Blazers star Cliff Robinson. Robinson, who played for the Blazers from 1989-1997, was also arrested at a young age for possessing a small amount of cannabis, and received numerous suspensions throughout his two-decade career in the NBA. Luckily, today Robinson is a successful cannabis entrepreneur and sells products under his Uncle Cliffy brand name.

At first, Grass Is Greener is a fun music-and-cannabis history lesson, but as the story proceeds we are able to learn just how devastating the war on drugs has been for communities of color, and how, in certain parts of the country, it still is. The film basically cements the fact that we need science-based legislation in the United States, not more propaganda. The doc should make you angry, and feel super privileged for being able to enjoy the perks of legalization. Grass Is Greener makes it plain : Americans should be embarrassed by the generations of elected leaders who've let societal misconceptions about weed become a scapegoat for the ongoing reckless extermination of Black and brown people. Watch the film and weep (and then go support a POC-owned pot shop).
