Grassroots: The Cannabis Revolution (Medical Documentary) | Real Stories
‘GrassRoots: The Cannabis Revolution’ is a feature-length and one-hour documentary exploring the medicinal use of cannabis, the patients involved & the campaign to change UK law. Over 3 years, ‘GrassRoots’ character driven, vérité approach explores our subject’s lives and why they campaign for change. With unrestricted access we lift the lid on the people within the UK cannabis movement, a subculture of politically driven campaigners who are forced to break the law to gain access to their choice of medication.
Clark French is 30 years old and has Multiple Sclerosis. Every day he battles, against the debilitating nature of his illness, but also against social stigma and the law. He doesn’t treat his MS with conventional medication; he self-medicates illegally, with cannabis. A hunger for helping similarly afflicted people birthed a need to fight for a change to the law that prevents access to cannabis. We follow Clark and other campaigners to protests battling on the front lines up and down the UK.
We also investigate the UK’s drug laws and tackles the negative perceptions of cannabis. This is juxtaposed when Clark embarks upon an explorative research journey, taking him behind the scenes in California, Colorado, Holland and Spain to show examples of where an industry built around cannabis is already helping patients. We see people committed to fighting against the odds; whilst struggling with ill health and the constant threat of criminal conviction. Despite this, they fight for something they believe in.

"If I can convince my Dad I can convince anyone…" that statement left me in tears. I can relate to him. I’m in the states but I might as well be in London. Colorado is a mere 30 minute drive from here, yet is highly illegal to go get medicine and bring it home for my disease. So, if one decides to do that, it must live as a secret and must be very well hidden lest you be turned in and jailed. It’s 2021 and much work remains to be done.
No cough from a dab
How individual are we when all our lives are IKEA commercials?
here in the uk the goverment is load of wankers you think with the taxes they like to put on us in the uk that they would jump for some more taxes from cannabis seeing how much extra in taxes they make per year in usa from cannabis and putting that into other things thats needed buck up uk goverment ffs
Not like throwing this out here but ya know just because you use cannabis doesn’t mean you should have a place in the industry lol
I did it with Weedborn CBD products!
I have been diagnosed with MS, Addisons Disease, interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, & valley fever. I feel like a medical mystery sometimes.Canibas has helped me so much I can’t even explain. The pain I’m in everyday has affected every aspect of my life. I’m 47 and I’m still trying to figure out my purpose. I’d love to feel like I’m helping someone else. I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do. Criminalizing someone who’s sick is disgusting!!!If your that person, and your reading this, you should be ashamed of yourself!!! Disgusting!!
i suffer from cold feet and shortness of breath and i smoke weed doctor don’t no want it is
i just chill out
Real medicine
We are not free people. Can’t even smoke a weed smh.
I, use a low dose a day of RSO in conjunction with other cannabis and it is a God send. Making a plant illegal is an affrontary to mother nature. It’s been around for ages for reasons & purpose.
They don’t know their chronic pain can be healed by eliminating inflammatory food and consuming whole foods and clean water. Not to mention Jesus Christ still heals today, I know I am an ICU nurse and I have seen and experienced miracles.
Very much Bear Grills personality for weed. Love him
I love how the officer say the smell of cannabis give them grounds to search, no it doesn’t
Weed has saved my life. More than once.
my heart goes out to him!!! in my state i don’t have to worry about going to jail for medicating myself. without cannabis i suffer 10x more with my fibromyalgia!!! EVERYONE THATS IN NEED SHOULD HAVE ACCES TO QUALITY CANNABIS!!!

Weed helps with my GAD, PTSD, and depression so much and it makes my life so much better
Lmfao did u hear this guy if you hang a plant upside down that makes it more potent etc would be nice if you actually knew what you were talking about 3 times completely bullshit knowledge untrue false wtf ?!
Why would he NOT move to California or where ever it’s legal so he could get the help he needs??????? I don’t understand? If his LIFE depended on it that’s what he should do!
Kids will always be able to get drugs …. were their is a will their is a way Remember that.
Awesome video!’
my mum me and lots of other people need this…bless you all xx
Look im not taking sides on this topic.ive smoked weed for like 15 years.it really all depends on the individual using the drug. Majority of them would simply use it to get that high feeling.also enhances your opinions and analysis in life.just like alcohol.when u start to drink u become more confident at what it is you want.but in the end it’s your choices that u make or have made??nobody’s forcing u to take weed!
No law will ever stop me from smoking weed I’d rather be in a room with stoners than a room full of drinkers any day of the week
Beautiful joint in the beginning lol

" we would like to congratulate drugs , for winning the war on drugs " …

Can I have a shoutout from you?
UK is back in the stone ages. Legalize it and tax it (like alcohol). Done, end of story.
34:17 little kyle so high he spelled from wrong 😀
What a brilliant documentary on Medicinal Cannabis!
The anti- marijuana message that has been fed to the world, via the USA, is nothing more than racist, & economic propaganda. Alcohol causes untold misery, societal economic issues, & is a burden on our healthcare, & judicial systems, worldwide, yet is legal & socially acceptable. What up with that? Here in Canada we’ve decided to educate & regulate. It’s just the smartest solution.
Yet we’re allowed to poison ourselves with alcohol…total hypocrisy
Anyone know the track ID for the beat on the credits??? 🔥👌🏻

Part of the answer is for these people to understand they are not criminals.
The laws & lawmakers are criminal and corrupt.
its not the police it the ones above them why do you think there is so many drug addicts out there because 99 percent of them where on pain meds and got addicted if they where on weed they would be fine today and live the life they wanted but no there living on the streets doing nothing but crime to keep them alive just wrong
Woah woah woah wait a minute his mom had it i get it but his step dad had MS too ? Sounds like its caused by environmental factors then what are the statistics of that happening? Maybe mold or something idk?
Its known for having zero medical value …… said by a man who is paid by the addictive medical corporation……. ! But pharmaceutical ‘drugs’ that kill you, … there ok!
He sounds Stoned tbf. Must work…
Hope he’s dad hears what he siad how he hurt him
