Cannabis is one of Canada's most valuable resources. Canada's marijuana industry is worth more than $20 billion a year. Huge profits of marijuana are a magnet for organized crime causing the crime rate to raise. The cannabis industry is now so vast and vital to Canada's national economy that it can no longer be ignored.

From zero tolerance to decriminalisation, Thailand’s recent u-turn on its cannabis laws is lighting up a billion-dollar industry. Officially it’s for medicinal use but the legal grey area means ‘ganja’ lovers are celebrating. Subscribe: https://ab.co/3yqPOZ5 It’s the country which gave us the words ‘bong’ and ‘ganja’. In Thailand, cannabis has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. But when the US launched its ‘war on drugs’ in the 1970s, Thailand became a key partner, placing cannabis on the narcotics list and toughening penalties against it. This June, the country took it off that list, meaning cannabis sellers and recreational users no longer risked jail for selling or possessing cannabis. In tourist hotspots, a ‘ganja-culture’ is fast taking hold. In Bangkok’s Khao San Road nightspot, it seems easier to buy a joint than a Pad Thai. ‘Now it’s legal – God gave a gift for us’, says Choco Gonzales, a cannabis seller in Bangkok. And it’s party time for tourists at the famous full moon party at Koh Phangan in the country’s southeast. ‘Wherever you go now, it’s Amsterdam again in Asia’, says an Italian tourist at the party. As Australia reignites on its own debate about legalising cannabis, Southeast Asia correspondent Mazoe Ford travels around Thailand to meet the new crop of ‘ganja-preneurs’ cashing in on the green rush. In Bangkok, Kitty Chopaka, a shop owner selling cannabis products and a leading advocate of decriminalisation, is still pinching herself. ‘I never thought in my lifetime that this would actually happen…But at the same time I knew it has to be done.’ In the southern island of Samui, resort owner Carl Lamb reckons the liberalisation of the laws is attracting overseas tourists. ‘You can really feel it's reinvigorated the market. There's a new energy here.’ Ford also hitches a ride on the private jet of the politician behind the policy – Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. He takes us to Thailand’s east to spruik the medicinal cannabis industry which the government hopes will become a billion-dollar industry. ‘It turned out that majority of my voters chose to vote for my party… some people even called my party (the) “Cannabis Party”’, he tells Ford. But not everyone welcomes the change. More than a thousand doctors have warned that the drug was delisted before proper safeguards and regulations were in place. ‘We don't want to be the cannabis haven of the world’, say Doctor Chanchai Sittipunt from Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Medicine. But Kitty Chopaka says going back isn’t possible - the genie is out of the bottle. ‘That bottle is broken. It’s gone!’ Read more here: https://ab.co/3ebD2pG About Foreign Correspondent: Foreign Correspondent is the prime-time international public affairs program on Australia's national broadcaster, ABC-TV.

This is a documentary we found on marijuana, possibly the best one we have seen to date. It's informative and goes very in-depth about weed, but most importantly it just makes you want to go roll a blunt and smoke it :)

Arjan's been breeding some of the most famous marijuana strains in the world—like White Widow, Super Silver Haze, and many others—for over 20 years. In 1992 he opened his first coffee shop in Amsterdam and has since crafted his marijuana-breeding skills into a market-savvy empire known as Green House Seed Company, which rakes in millions of dollars a year. He's won 38 Cannabis Cups and has dubbed himself the King of Cannabis. VICE joins Arjan and his crew of strain hunters in Colombia to look for three of the country's rarest types of weed, strains that have remained genetically pure for decades. In grower's terms, these are called landraces. We trudge up mountains and crisscross military checkpoints in the country's still-violent south, and then head north to the breathtaking Caribbean coast. As the dominoes of criminalization fall throughout the world, Arjan is positioned to be at the forefront of the legitimate international seed trade. 00:00 Intro 03:15 Going to the biggest weed operation in Colombia 09:05 Tensions are high in guerilla territory 13:34 Hunting the famous 'Punto Rojo' 20:50 Next stop: Cali's 'Limon Verde' "Black Mamba" Performed by Cut Hands Written and produced by William Bennett Courtesy of Susan Lawly Used with permission "Nine-Night" Performed by Cut Hands Written and produced by William Bennett Courtesy of Susan Lawly Used with permission Check out the Best of VICE here: http://bit.ly/VICE-Best-Of Subscribe to VICE here! http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE Check out our full video catalog: http://bit.ly/VICE-Videos Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com Like VICE on Facebook: http://fb.com/vice Follow VICE on Twitter: http://twitter.com/vice Read our tumblr: http://vicemag.tumblr.com
