5 Must-Watch Marijuana Documentaries for Cannabis Entrepreneurs

1. The Culture High (2015)

If you’re looking for a good documentary that’ll give you a fascinating overview of cannabis prohibition and cannabis culture, then look no further than The Culture High. This 2015 documentary, directed by Brett Harvey, features interviews with everyone from undercover agents to professors and even celebrities like Joe Rogan and Snoop Dogg.

The documentary looks into the way the government created ‘The War On Drugs’, how the parties behind it profited, and how it held the culture back for a long time. It also gives some interesting insight into the research on the benefits of cannabis and why it’s become such a popular alternative medical treatment.

With a 120-minute runtime, The Culture High gives plenty of in-depth information and insights from all around the world without being too long. It’s a great documentary for cannabis entrepreneurs as it can teach you all about the history of the industry and how far it’s come over the years.

2. Super High Me (2007)

If you’re looking for an entertaining and wholesome marijuana documentary, then make sure you watch Super High Me. This documentary was a project produced by the cannabis-loving comedian Doug Benson as a humorous parody of Super Size Me. Despite that, it still offers a lot of interesting insight.

While Super Size Me focused on the effects of eating nothing but McDonald’s, Super High Me focuses on the effects of consuming large quantities of weed. Benson initially undergoes a 30-day marijuana cleanse before spending 30 days of frequent cannabis use. He then gauges all kinds of changes from before and after including his weight, mental ability, sperm count, and much more- he even does a Psychic ESP Test.

The documentary doesn’t reveal anything too staggering- it appears that it’s best to use marijuana in moderation, although there are some positive changes after 30 days of frequent marijuana use. However, it also features interviews with many people in the marijuana community including business owners, activists, medical marijuana patients, and more. Overall, it’s one of the funniest marijuana documentaries and a good watch when you want something light.

3. A NORML Life (2011)

If you’re looking to learn all about the medical properties of marijuana and medical marijuana laws, then A NORML Life is the perfect documentary to watch. This documentary was directed by Rod Pitman and focuses on The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws- an organization fighting for marijuana legalization for decades.

This documentary mainly focuses on how marijuana has helped people with all kinds of medical ailments. It features accounts from medical marijuana doctors, patients, caregivers, and more. It also covers the people who have been leading the effort to end marijuana prohibition and push for legalization.

Not only will this documentary give you a good outlook on the medical marijuana industry, but it also features helpful information on how marijuana affects the body and how it can help with various symptoms. It’s a particularly good watch for those who want to invest or start a business in the medical marijuana industry but will also interest anyone who loves cannabis.

4. The Marijuana Show (2014 – Present)

The Marijuana Show isn’t a one-off documentary but rather an ongoing web show. However, it’s still one of the best things to put on your watch list if you’re an aspiring cannabis entrepreneur, cannabis investor, or even just a regular cannabis enthusiast.

This show follows the format of business game shows such as Shark Tank. The only difference is that it’s based solely on marijuana businesses. Contestants pitch their ideas for new and exciting business ideas and, over the past few seasons, the show has dished out over $20 million in funding for small cannabis businesses.

With 3 seasons and over 7 million views, there are plenty of episodes to check out. Whether you’re looking for some inspiration for a cannabis business idea or want advice on how to break into the industry, The Marijuana Show is definitely one of the best things you can watch online.

5. 420 – The Documentary (2013)

420 – The Documentary is a fascinating and diverse documentary directed by Amy Porah. Using footage from a range of cannabis-related events, as well as interviews and stories from everyone from college students to police lieutenants, 420 – The Documentary covers the relationship between the U.S. legal system and marijuana.

Not only will this documentary give you a good insight into the history of marijuana prohibition, but it’ll also give you an interesting oversight on marijuana culture and how 4/20 became the international holiday for marijuana smokers. It also covers shocking stories of those who were punished by the police for marijuana possession and even stories of regret from law enforcement officers.

This is a more serious documentary with dark moments and it might feel a little outdated to some watchers. With that said, it’s still a good watch for those who are interested in the history of the ups and downs of cannabis culture and worth putting on your watch list if you’ve got the time.
