i would watch a show like that smoking gun, imagine a show full of excited patients with remission or hell any progress just getting off the fucking pharmies is enough for ratings and MMJ helps you know so hopefully they don't give up on that idea if it is on
But that is just the thing, they stopped showing that good stuff and it became the Matt Shotwell Show. He is an arrogant, ignorant, wannabe prick. He is not the face of MMJ and he is not what should be presented as such.
I would absolutely watch any show that actually highlighted the patients who are given such relief by this wonderful plant. Those are the faces of MMJ and those are the people who should have their story told. Their caregivers as well should have their story told. There are so many great stories of compassion out there, it truly is a wonderful thing; small miracles performed every day. I used to run a small patients group, and I can attest to the wonders Cannabis is possible of and the patients who would be dead or secluded without it. We need to tell their story.
Unfortunately "Weed Country" is not this show. It is a show about a few growers, most of whom are trying to be both compassionate and self-sufficient, one dick-head dispensary owner who has taken up all too much of the shows time, and the cops trying to catch them. After episode one, it seems, we no longer really see the patients who are being help by the growers MMJ. I fear with this loss of perspective (to the general masses) it looks like a bunch of people who are trying to evade the cops while making a killing with an illegal crop and exploiting either the laws or the sick people who do benefit from the laws. This is not a show I want to watch or endorse. I also never said I wouldn't watch it; I would just not ever go out of my way to watch the show, if it were on and there was nothing else on television (wholly likely) I would watch it. It could be my bias having only seen the two episodes, but from what I have read here it seems to confirm my assessments.
