Analysis Of The Culture High By Brett Harvey

Brett Harvey’s documentary, “The Culture High” is an interesting story that takes a raw and honest look that tears into the very grit of modern day marijuana prohibition to reveal the truth behind the arguments and motivations governing both those who support and those who oppose the existing pot laws.

The moment Jayden received the CBD he was free from seizure, as his dad worked to remove him throughout the weeks off his prescribed pills. Cannabis has made some industrializing changes, in the late 30’s an article was put out for the public to read stating there is 25,000 uses for marijuana from engineering, food, beauty, charcoal, to materials and much more. And once it becomes legal it will be much cheaper that the pharmaceutical drugs.
