FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IN POT WE TRUST -- PROVOCATIVE DOCUMENTARY TAKES AN
IN-DEPTH LOOK AT
THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING MEDICAL MARIJUANA PREMIERES
JULY 9th ON
SHOWTIME
LOS ANGELES (June 11, 2007) IN POT WE TRUST, a new
SHOWTIME feature-length documentary about the controversial
subject of medical
marijuana as told through the unique lives of five
chronically ill
patients and the many advocates and opponents that
surround this
contentious issue, will make its television premiere
on Monday, July
9th at 8:30 PM ET/PT.
IN POT WE TRUST takes an in-depth look at the medicinal
value of
marijuana by focusing on five chronically ill individuals
who receive
medical marijuana from the U.S. government even though
changes in the
law have stopped this practice. Their illnesses range
from M.S. and
congenital glaucoma to neurological dysfunction and
incredibly
painful maladies which are substantially relieved with
marijuana
cigarettes that have been provided by the federal government
for
years. While these individuals continue to get relief
within the law,
millions of others cannot. This provocative film explores
federal
drug policy through the eyes of reform organizations,
prohibitionist
groups, politicians, drug war critics and scientists
in an effort to
make sense out of this divisive argument between drug
abuse,
recreational drug use and medicine.
Award-winning producer Star Price serves as writer,
director and
producer. Additionally, Joshua E. Kessler and Mark
Wolper serve as
producers.
