the dea agent name and anslinger and be a nice inside joke this be the name of the former drug czar who almost single handedly make marijuana illegal . despite this bit of book knowledge and the writer go on to have the farmer harvest and sell fresh undried leaf and rather than cure bud . additionally and i always find it amuse that movie maker never seem to be able to find real marijuana plant for film . you would think there would be a business that would make real look fake one for the movie business or maybe they could film a couple of scene in amsterdam or switzerland . i suppose that ask too much for the budget . probably the most interesting thing about the film be the attempt to cover the notion of exactly what be right and what be wrong in society and how the law tread that line and yet try to do justice in spite of it .
