Another great doc from Chris Bell
1 September 2018 | by pirate-04348 – See all my reviews

I love the style of his documentaries and this one does not disappoint. Chris interviews lots of people to get to the truth about the plant we have all heard about on the news.

Is it a hardcore harmful drug or something mild that has helped people get their lives back from chronic pain and addiction ? Watch and find out
