Synopsis

Every year, Amsterdam hosts the world's biggest pot party, and you're invited. Weed takes place at the 8th annual Cannabis Cup & Hemp Expo, a haven for tokers of every stripe -- Patagonia-clad slackers, chic urban business women, blunt toking homeboys, and of course a bunch of refried hippies. You'll visit the city's hash coffeeshops as they display competing brands of cultivated bud, shot so beautifully that the film at times becomes a sort of mouth-watering weed-porn. You'll also peep inside the orgastic raves held at the event, at which nymphlike weed-maidens distribute fat bags of free grass to the writhing crowds. a unique, bleary-eyed look at marijuana culture in the '90s.
