Waiting to Inhale examines the current debate over legalizing medical marijuana in the United States. Ten states have passed legislation permitting medical marijuana, but opponents claim that advocates of medical marijuana are simply providing a smokescreen for the complete legalization of marijuana.
This engaging film explores every side of the conflict, taking viewers inside the lives of individuals whose lives have been uniquely affected by terminal illness and drug use. The film sheds new light on this controversial struggle, presenting exclusive access to the first medical studies on smoked cannabis to take place in over thirty years.
A panel discussion featuring medicinal-marijuana activist Grant Krieger will take place immediately following the screening.
