That lyric from a 1967 Steppenwolf song is apropos.
Though I was confronted with health claims I'd not have attributed to "grass", or "weed" as my peers called it, I emphatically noted many items in this doc, which I entirely agreed with.
First, in my twenties, I never got a "run of the mill" headache; I would get migraine headaches; the type which would cause me to stay inside, and shut the curtains (strong light was intolerable).
The pain nearly always seemed to center just above my left eyebrow, and was as if an icepick was being pushed into my head.
For those who understand what a subluxation is; mine would attack me so intensely that I could not stand. I had to lie down.
Neither of these intense pains were solved by aspirin, nor did I want to resort to expensive and addicting pharmaceuticals.
But a simple joint of "homegrown" would, within less than a half hour, annihilate both of them.
I used "annihilate" because the relief was that dramatic.
I noted an overall sense of enhancement; be it listening to music, watching films, or reading a good book.
Watching this doc demonstrated much of what I knew; in History, sailing ships ropes for rigging and sails, were of Hemp. The first Levis (not noted) were of Hemp fiber.
One "spoiler": There are some areas in the doc which put me off; we don't want to mass produce derivatives of the plant, it is sufficient as is, and should not be adulterated as we've done to our food supply.
