Leave your thoughts about Weed the People.
| Film ThreatNatalia WinkelmanWeed the People is one part didactic, one part polemic, and one part human story. The documentary methodically alternates among these three, ultimately landing a compelling, if at times sentimental and anecdotal argument. |
| Austin American-StatesmanCharles EalyUndoubtedly, not everyone will agree that medical marijuana should be available. But "Weed the People" makes a powerful argument. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe film is an emphatic re-branding of the the “legalize pot” movement, putting suffering children’s faces front and center in the fight, with weeping parents and increasingly defiant doctors, most of them in states where medical and/or recreational marijuana is already legal, making case on the kids’ behalf. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanWEED THE PEOPLE is a powerful advocate for, if nothing more, the need for research. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonA smart, vitally important documentary look at medical marijuana, how it is helping real Americans right now, and why Big Pharma has ignored its healing properties. |
| Film Journal InternationalGary M. KramerThe stories are all heartfelt. Epstein wants Weed the People to provide folks with hope. It may jerk tears when one subject encounters a setback, or another patient loses their battle with cancer, but there will also be tears of joy with the film’s multiple success stories. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersBeyond its plea for research, the documentary is largely hopeful, but for balance could include more anecdotes and details of when the treatment doesn’t have the desired results. |
