When Kathy Kaiser reviewed EVERGREEN: THE ROAD TO LEGALIZATION here at We Are Movie Geeks, she wrote: “Whether you are for or against marijuana’s legalization – EVERGREEN will put it all into perspective for you, as it brings to life both opposing views. If your state decides to travel the path to legalization, you will know the facts and principles of each side after viewing this film – thanks to Morton and his team of filmmakers – thus educating yourself before you too have to place your vote for-or-against on election day.” (read all of Kathy’s review HERE)

EVERGREEN: THE ROAD TO LEGALIZATION – The DVD Review

Review by Kathy Kaiser

Producer/Director Riley Morton takes on his first documentary film, jumping straight into the frying pan, as he covers the legalizing of marijuana in the State of Washington.

After 40 years of the drug war that has plagued our country, Washington State becomes the emblazoned battleground for legalizing cannabis. EVERGREEN takes you deep into both sides of the equation so you can see first-hand the unwavering convictions of each side.

Although medicinal marijuana has been available in Washington for years now, activists for complete legalization share their convictions as to why the substance should be legalized, as they bring forth Initiative 502, hoping to have it placed on the ballot in November of 2012.

Those opposed to legalization are just as head strong, proposing that 1-502 is going to do nothing but add DUI convictions, new taxes and additional penalties and restrictions on the citizens of Washington – all things that will negatively affect their youth, and the patients and providers who have been supplying marijuana for medicinal purposes – bringing further stress and pain into their lives.

EVERGREEN gives you the hard facts of the changes in policy that resulted from the legalization of marijuana in the state of Washington, and adds the personal touch of conveying both sides to truly tell it all. Morton does an incredible job of bringing to the forefront this heated debate and continuing fight for legalizing nationwide, as our country continues to struggle with tackling the issue state by state.

Whether you are for or against marijuana’s legalization – EVERGREEN will put it all into perspective for you, as it brings to life both opposing views. If your state decides to travel the path to legalization, you will know the facts and principles of each side after viewing this film – thanks to Morton and his team of filmmakers – thus educating yourself before you too have to place your vote for-or-against on election day.
