Isn’t it great that Cannabis & Hemp themed film festivals are coming to Colorado!? Conceived originally as a morality tale to warn parents against the alleged dangers of cannabis, Reefer Madness was recut into an exploitation film, a lurid melodrama about a group of dope-smoking teens who descend into a hell of murder, suicide and madness brought on, allegedly, by the infernal herb. Our poster this year is inspired by these alarmist posters!
To get an idea of the types of films we hope to showcase, you can browse the selections at Films for Action and Top Documentary Films. Here are a few Rules & Guidelines. What do the different submission statuses mean? Find out here.

“Humans have cultivated and consumed the flowering tops of the female cannabis plant since virtually the beginning of recorded history.” NORML. According to the June 2017 Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry report, almost 84,000 Coloradans have an active “Medical Marijuana” registration and 651 physicians have recommended it for one or more patients on the registry.
In recent years, scientific studies have demonstrated the health benefits of Cannabis and certain chemicals contained within the plant, namely THC and CBD (cannabidiol). With the federal government agreeing with researchers and patients that there are, in fact, many medicinal benefits for cancer patients, one has to wonder when the use of Cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes will become common across all fifty states. Unfortunately, for many people who might benefit from using the plant, “marihuana” is still classified under Schedule I of the federal Controlled Substances Act along with dangerous and/or addictive man-made chemical concoctions like Ecstasy & LSD.
Watch this presentation and more from activist and filmmaker Jerry Day. In many towns across America – unbelievably in this modern day – it is still illegal “to use, possess, or distribute” this innocuous little creation of the Almighty Most High. The FDA has approved specific cannabinoids for the treatment of side effects of cancer. Therefore, the chemical extracts CBD & THC would be considered legal, so long as they were obtained legally through approved distributors.
“What do evangelical Christian Pat Robertson, progressive media maven Arianna Huffington, conservative businessman David Koch, actor Bryan Cranston and rapper Snoop Dogg have in common?” Read more, The Marijuana Majority.
Check out An Offer You Can’t Refuse: How US Federal Prosecutors Force Drug Defendants to Plead Guilty, report. Is Cannabis dangerous? Well… let’s see. Between 150 and 200 Americans die each year from complications related to food allergies. Moreover, allergic reactions to food resulted in approximately 317,000 visits to hospital emergency departments, outpatient clinics and physicians’ offices. In a typical year, nearly 100 American deaths are caused by bee stings. In the first half 2016, there were 17,775 deaths on the road involving car accidents.
So….what about deaths from cannabis overdose? Since you really want to know, here’s an exhaustive list of everyone who’s died from overdose. Hmmm…but how safe are proposed marijuana tracking technologies?
The regulation and legality of “Marihuana” for medicinal purposes has been left up to each individual state & U.S. territory. Consequently, while many states & territories have passed legislation making the distribution and use of the plant legal for patients diagnosed with cancers and other medical conditions, other states and territories still arrest and jail innocent patients and recreational users.
In recent years, Americans have sought to legalize cannabis for recreational and medicinal purposes. Some states, such as Colorado, have legalized the plant for recreational use much like alcohol. Cannabis-related Jobs are becoming a frequent activity for young people. Once people locate a job in the industry, they need to know how to properly apply for that position. Having knowledge about the Cannabis & Hemp businesses that are legally operating in 18 states is the first step.
Knowing how to grow, how to sell, laws pertaining to privacy, jobs, & testing Cannabis and much more will help all people have an advantage if and when they apply for these types of positions. Submit your film!
