Is there any illegal substance in America that has been subject to more media distortion than Cannabis sativa, the infamous marijuana? With so much information about Cannabis sativa available online as well as in film and television, we must ask, “Do narrative media sources accurately portray the context in which people use Cannabis, the market surrounding its use, and the effects of this herb?” While there are literally hundreds of films that feature casual Cannabis use, to get to the heart of this question I’ve selected two films and a television series with plots centered on the use, manufacturing, and sale of Cannabis sativa in the United States.
