Michael Pollan, a professor of journalism and a student of food, presents the history of four plants, each of which found a way to make itself essential to humans, thus ensuring widespread propagation. Apples, for sweetness; tulips, for beauty; marijuana, for pleasure; and, potatoes, for sustenance. Each has a story of discovery and adaptation; each has a symbiotic relationship with human civilization. The film tells these stories and examines these relationships.

The whole documentary is certainly worth watching. I definately recommend you do!

The Part about cannabis starts at approx: 56m58s

Are we controlling nature or is nature controlling us? Michael Pollan reveals his view with four examples: the apple, the tulip, cannabis & the potatoe.

WARNING: GRAPHIC! VIEWER DISCRETION IS HIGHLY ADVISED!

Krokodil turns flesh gang green and scaly. This drug is horrific! I hope this sh*t never hits the streets of the USA, because a dose only cost about 3 dollars U.S. and you will eventually loose your limbs like these poor folks.

Krokodil has hit the streets of Russia. It's very cheap and easy to make. It's called Krokodil or "Crocodile" and it destroys your body parts every time you inject it. Just see the gruesome videos below to see how it has eaten these people alive.

It is desomorphine, a synthetic opiate many times more powerful than heroin that is created from a complex chain of mixing and chemical reactions, which the addicted junkies perform from memory several times a day.

While heroin costs from $20 to $60 per dose, desomorphine can be "cooked" from codeine-based headache pills that cost $2 per pack, and other household ingredients available cheaply from the markets.

OK folks, here we go, you might want to have a vomit bucket nearby... anyway, don't do drugs - drugs are bad, Mkay!?

I think everyone should see these videos for obvious reasons.
