41st Shade.
A clear headed documentary on cannabis in Ireland.
Featuring Limerick physician William O’Shaugnessy, discoverer of the medical properties of cannabis, Mr Nice, Mr Ming, Prof Crown, addiction counsellors and a covert mildly paranoia-inducing visit to a grow house.
Maker Paul Roban writes:
The intention of this documentary is to explore the role of cannabis in 21st Century Ireland, not least due to growing usage within the mainstream, but also because of our failure to prevent its distribution. For this reason, we need to question the resources ploughed into the ‘war on drugs’ and whether both the time and manpower called upon is justifiable when it appears that all other progressive nations are either entirely decriminalising cannabis or relaxing their laws on its possession.
(Made before the Summer cabinet reshuffle while Alan Shatter was Justice Minister, James Reilly was Health and Ming was in the Dáil)
Thanks 41st Shade
Hang on… *checks fridge, chocolate,and crisps stocks*
Right so…
Well done Paul :)
I thought – should I?. Then I looked at 1.43:25. Some other day perhaps. I’m sure its very worthwhile.
Puffin da herb pa pa puffin da herb.
It’s one of those things that I really wish I’d like but it just makes me paranoid and sleepy.
I used ta love her, I used ta love her once, long long time ago…
Oh I hope to god they legalize it, putting an end to all my unemployed mates trying to be the next Scarface as they peddle tiny baggies and joints for a fiver. And all my other mates having too smoke in their parents shed while snapchatting it and listening to Bob Marley. Its just embarrasing.
lol. get new mates
I am a pro legalise guy but man that doc needed son serious work. It’s far to long there are to many traveling v/o’s needs to be reedited completely. The only part I found interesting was the two doctors interviews but have you never heard of a second camera angle, like come on seriously we are talking tv production 101 here.
The guy’s a young lad. And I’d guess little to no budget… or much experience. fair play, in fairness I say :)
Having made the documentary with paul we can safely say we had a 0 euro budget and little equipment, thanks for the tips though will take into consideration next time!
Excellent presentation.
Gosh, some of those politicians made me cringe with the words coming out of their mouths.
