America's Billion-Dollar War | Why The Marijuana Business is Failing

Cannabis legalization was promised as a victory for patients, activists, and small farmers. But for the people who risked their lives to build the movement, legalization became an entirely new kind of war—one of crippling taxes, corporate takeover, and systematic cultural erasure. This documentary explores the complex and often tragic fallout of California's Proposition 64, exposing how the "Green Rush" wiped out the legacy growers of the Emerald Triangle, crushed the medical industry, and put billions of dollars into the hands of investors with no connection to the plant. It's the story of how an industry built on community and compassion was commoditized and destroyed.
