Journeying across the North American landscape, “The Culture High” is the riveting story that tears into the very fibre of modern day marijuana prohibition to reveal the truth behind the arguments and motives governing both those who support and those who oppose the existing pot laws.

Top celebrities, former undercover agents, university professors and a slew of unforgettable characters from all points of view come together for an amusing yet insightful portrait of cannabis prohibition and the grasp it has on society as a whole. “The Culture High” will strip search the oddity of human nature and dare to ask the question: What exactly is going on here?
A warning to some viewers, as pointed out by others who have seen this documentary. Throughout the documentary it shows DEA raids of family homes where the family dog is shot upon entry, multiple instances of it play throughout. At one point a guy in the house says “You shot my dog! why did you shoot my dog!” as the big men with guns go looking for a few baggies of weed. In most clips the dog can be heard yelping or whining as it lays on the ground.
