Hemp for Victory is an ironic film made by the US government that promotes the growing of hemp, which is now mainly used as the well-known illegal drug marijuana. This technically-detailed film encourages farmers to grow hemp during the WWII war effort. With the military facing a hemp shortage due to foreign suppliers being controlled or blocked by enemy forces, America needed farmers to step up and start producing a product necessary for the rope, rigging, cloth, and other products that the Army, Army Air Force, and Navy needed for operations. A very detailed description of how and where to grow hemp follows, including descriptions of how to seed, harvest, and treat the hemp.

Former medical marijuana dispensary operator Charlie Lynch could very well receive a sentence much longer than the average sentence first-degree murderers receive.

A clear, honest, and detailed depiction of drug use in the 1960s. Marijuana is discussed in depth, but other more socially-accepted drugs like alcohol and tobacco are taken to task as well. The film even examines possible societal influences for drug use, such as the increasing prevalence of prescription drugs and other chemical aids. The film also attacks the ever growing (and now dominant) pharmaceutical industry. Taking an even more progressive turn, drug addicts are treated as ill and in need of treatment – not prison.
