Synopsis by Violet LeVoit
In Colorado, the fledgling business of legalized marijuana and the ailing newspaper industry form an unlikely alliance via the Cannabist, a section of the Denver Post dedicated to pot news (including reviews of new strains by professional marijuana critics). This documentary takes a comprehensive look at this bold new "joint" endeavor, as editor Ricardo Baca and the Cannabist staff deal with both federal drug laws and the depressing economics of modern-day journalism.
