How about getting Michael Moore and Jack Herer together for a documentary?

[M3nt0R]

That would be an amazing thing if it could work...have you tried contacting Herer?

I've gotta run now, but when I get home again, I'll write that e-mail to moore.

Thank you for bringing that up, M3ntOR. That was an obvious part of the equation that I forgot. I will do that as well.:thumbsup:

I doubt Michael Moore is as influential as some might think, but it's not like our typical media is going to cover this story so I say it's a great idea. I was a bit disappointed Sicko didn't mention anything about medical marijuana...but really, it wouldn't have fit in anyway with what he was talking about. If it gets people talking about medical marijuana, or marijuana reform, then its worth it. I'll write him a short message when I get back home.

Just out of curiosity, has there ever been a response to your initial inquiry?

I like the way Michael Moore presents his theories in the documentaries, he is certainly passionate about what he believes in. But, he can also sometimes be rather biased with his views on the subject at hand, and has been known to harbor a few inaccuracies in his films. But, hey, when you're able to film & produce your own documentaries, you're allowed that creative-expressive freedom.

What is his stance on the legality of marijuana in the first place? Is he an advocate? If not, I doubt he'd have much willingness to take part in such a film.

Great idea, but Michael Moore is jut too damned controversial.
I would worry that his being linked to the project would actually cause more harm than good. I can see the FOX coverage already. Oy.

However, I plead ignornace re: other documentary filmmakers.

Tell me who to write to.

Mr. C. No response as of yet. I would not expect it without a reasonably sized letter writing campaign, but I must confess that the idea has gotten me off of my ass enough to begin work on my own film. If you build it they will come!! We should all be making our own statements rather than waiting around for somebody else to save us.
As far as Moore's views on weed, I have not spoken to him personally, so I have no idea how much he relies on the Cannabis plant in his own life, if at all...but I know he is passionate about doing away with corporate/government red tape and corruption, and that is what the fight for the decriminalization of Cannabis is all about. As far as his bias goes--I am not offended by it. If he were biased in favor of corporate greed, then I would have a problem.

I appreciate your concern, Friend Indeed, but I must say that controversy is sometimes the only way for information to break out of the underground. On your second point, I believe it is impossible to do more harm than good--Cannabis is banned by the U.S. government, and also by most other countries' governments. It is this way because of our global corporate culture centered in the U.S.A. where our citizens are imprisoned by the 1000s for openly practicing THE CONSTITUTION. It cannot get any worse, only better.:jointsmile: I want my country back, even though it was gone before I was born...

[Mr. Clandestine]

I really like your enthusiasm, and deeply respect what you stand for! As far as Mr. Moore's films, I've always personally enjoyed them...I respect the man for taking the time (and money) needed to be so vocal about important matters. I think it's great that people are at least opening their eyes, and actually paying attention to the topics that Moore lays before them. He'd be a great advocate for cannabis law reform, so if you do decide to start a letter writing campaign to him (or anyone of significance, for that matter), please post it here...so I can partake! As for writing emails and letters to representatives, editors, media sources, etc., I've been doing that for years...and will continue to do so. I'm glad to see more and more like-minded individuals who are willing to take the time to try and make a difference!

Take care.:jointsmile:

I personally think we should contact Al Gore. That guy can make a very compelling documentary.:thumbsup:
