00:01:06,292 --> 00:01:11,375
When I came back to the US, I felt
that I was in the land of the defeated.
2
00:01:16,125 --> 00:01:20,750
That it had been destroyed. It was
not the same country that I left.
3
00:01:22,834 --> 00:01:26,209
It affected me, but mine
family did not want to hear about it.
4
00:01:28,292 --> 00:01:33,500
I started to dream of one
sisterhood that could the whole people.
5
00:01:37,375 --> 00:01:41,209
I was coming home from a meeting
with local activists.
6
00:01:41,292 --> 00:01:47,125
A woman saw me and came crying
across the street and said, "Sister."
7
00:01:47,209 --> 00:01:50,417
"I lost my job.
I have a seven-year-old son. "
8
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:55,292
"I am an alcoholic and was on my way
for the wine trade. You are a character. "
9
00:01:55,375 --> 00:01:58,042
She threw herself
crying in my arms.
10
00:01:58,125 --> 00:02:01,625
I looked up while I was
hugged the woman and thought:
11
00:02:01,709 --> 00:02:04,084
"Forgive me."
12
00:02:04,167 --> 00:02:08,667
Then I let her go and said:
"Have you tried the cannabis plant?"
13
00:02:09,834 --> 00:02:13,334
And she said, "Wait a minute.
What are you for a nun? "
14
00:02:23,584 --> 00:02:27,042
Cannabis.
It is a nationwide epidemic.

about the idea of smoking pot.
17

Who doesn't know anyone
who smokes grass?
20
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:51,042
I can talk to a judge,
or the public prosecutor.
21
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:54,292
Who do you know who doesn't smoke?

COMPLAINTS IN MERCED COUNTY
23
00:02:56,459 --> 00:03:02,792
Americans want marijuana,
and we are not aware of ...
24
00:03:02,875 --> 00:03:05,584
... how bad it is to get here.

ALEX

26
00:03:08,875 --> 00:03:13,834
Most don't even call it one
drug longer. It's just grass.
27
00:03:13,917 --> 00:03:20,334
If you compare it to alcohol,
young still looking oblique to alcohol.
28
00:03:20,417 --> 00:03:26,167
People say "it's just marijuana"
But marijuana is still illegal.
29
00:03:26,250 --> 00:03:30,750
So it's not "just" marijuana.
Yes, on the surface it is,
30
00:03:30,792 --> 00:03:36,375
- But there are so many gloomy ones
items related to it.
31
00:03:38,917 --> 00:03:44,500
Catholics, Muslims, Scientologists
and Baptists say nothing.

We lose the battle of addiction
34
00:03:51,167 --> 00:03:53,542
-to Satan, the enemy himself.
35
00:03:58,625 --> 00:04:03,000
It is dangerous to grow plants, so I did
worries me on mother's behalf
36
00:04:03,084 --> 00:04:05,750
- and on behalf of everyone else,
who does that.
37
00:04:05,792 --> 00:04:10,375
She has been in danger many times.
38
00:04:12,084 --> 00:04:17,042
I always say, "I don't want
that you lose your life because of this. "
39
00:04:17,125 --> 00:04:21,334
But I help, because that's what
who pay the bills, -
40
00:04:21,417 --> 00:04:27,542
- and mother thinks spirituality gets
people to listen. They will hear this.
41
00:04:27,625 --> 00:04:32,709
Merced County. Earth is so good,
that we will get plants up to four kilos.
42
00:04:33,584 --> 00:04:36,917
- Here's my card.
- We have nuns who are drug dealers.
43
00:04:37,042 --> 00:04:40,709
The sisters provide cannabis
for dying people.
44
00:04:40,750 --> 00:04:46,292
The dress does not matter. Selling
if you are drugs, you are a drug dealer.
45
00:04:46,375 --> 00:04:48,750
We have a sacred call.
46
00:04:48,834 --> 00:04:53,334
We have to stop it here
That's why I'm doing this!
47
00:04:54,042 --> 00:04:55,834
He doesn't understand it.
48
00:04:55,917 --> 00:04:59,042
It's an old problem.
Fabrics destroy life.
49
00:04:59,125 --> 00:05:03,750
We take their drugs and destroy
them, and I bring them to court.
50
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,292
After all the failures. After being
left as homeless by my family,
51
00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:16,500
- people need to understand
that i make it necessary-
52
00:05:16,584 --> 00:05:18,834
- to protect it,
which I have built up.
53
00:05:28,209 --> 00:05:34,417
There's Chris. In nightgown. That
is not her wedding dress.
54
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:38,042
Chris, I'm on film.
55
00:05:38,125 --> 00:05:39,500
I know that, Mom.

57
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:50,834
I was born and raised in Wisconsin.
I took my education there.
58
00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:55,167
I took a trade exam.
I worked in business.
59
00:05:55,875 --> 00:05:58,750
I voted for
Ronald Reagan once.
60
00:06:01,209 --> 00:06:04,917
I married my husband Gary,
when I was 28 years old.
61
00:06:05,750 --> 00:06:10,375
... it is my honor to be able to
present, for the first time, -
62
00:06:10,459 --> 00:06:13,625
- as husband and wife,
Gary and Christine.
63
00:06:17,584 --> 00:06:21,750
It was an incredibly happy day.
I was very in love.
64
00:06:21,792 --> 00:06:27,667
We were happy in the first years and we
survived the American dream.
65
00:06:34,084 --> 00:06:36,834
During one year I was pregnant
with our first son.
66
00:06:36,917 --> 00:06:40,375
- Okay...
- Pregnant in the first month.
67
00:06:40,459 --> 00:06:41,750
Give a hand, please.
68
00:06:41,834 --> 00:06:47,375
Three years later we had three children
and lived in a big house in Kentucky.
69
00:06:47,459 --> 00:06:50,917
Hi, Gary. What are you planting?
70
00:06:51,042 --> 00:06:52,667
Tomatoes.
71
00:06:54,542 --> 00:06:59,625
We had a good marriage.
Everyone was jealous. We were happy.
72
00:06:59,709 --> 00:07:04,500
This is my beautiful wife.
She is so sweet. Continually.
73
00:07:06,417 --> 00:07:10,917
- Say you love me.
- I dont do that.
74
00:07:11,042 --> 00:07:14,584
- Stand beside your husband.
- He loves me.
75
00:07:14,667 --> 00:07:19,000
- Hint to the family.
- Tell me how much you love me.
76
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,792
I had my exam,
and I was ambitious.
77
00:07:23,875 --> 00:07:27,542
As the children grew,
he went home with them,
78
00:07:27,625 --> 00:07:30,084
- while expanding mine
consultancy.
79
00:07:36,542 --> 00:07:41,667
- Do you have children enough?
- I have my children.
80
00:07:46,292 --> 00:07:49,917
Gary went home
and took care of the children.
81
00:07:50,042 --> 00:07:53,250
You could always lean on him.
82
00:07:53,834 --> 00:07:59,042
He wanted to go home with the kids. The
turned into many diapers and a lot of food.
83
00:07:59,125 --> 00:08:02,542
He was a very present father.
84
00:08:02,625 --> 00:08:04,875
He was a wonderful father.
85
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,375
- It's a tape I read.
- I love you dad.
86
00:08:10,542 --> 00:08:12,459
He was a good father.
87
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,250
He was always there for me.
88
00:08:17,334 --> 00:08:23,667
He took me to football ...
We did many things together.
89
00:08:30,209 --> 00:08:34,834
She provided the family.
She was the CEO. She was the boss.
90
00:08:36,042 --> 00:08:39,167
She didn't find herself in anything.
91
00:08:39,250 --> 00:08:44,334
She was a great model
for me during my upbringing.
92
00:08:44,417 --> 00:08:48,875
Chris was just as streamlined,
as you stay in the banking world.
93
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,584
There was no rebel hidden in her.
94
00:08:53,334 --> 00:08:56,750
I worked as a consultant
in telecommunications, -
95
00:08:56,792 --> 00:09:00,584
- and it turned out
that I was pretty good at it.
96
00:09:00,667 --> 00:09:04,542
I implemented
business people's fantasies.
97
00:09:04,625 --> 00:09:08,084
I served many
money for many people.
98
00:09:08,167 --> 00:09:11,834
I moved to Amsterdam
on behalf of an American company
99
00:09:11,917 --> 00:09:16,167
- to launch theirs
services in six countries.
100
00:09:17,792 --> 00:09:22,500
Through the ten years,
where i lived in Holland,
101
00:09:22,584 --> 00:09:26,125
- earned my consulting business
a million dollars.
102
00:09:26,209 --> 00:09:30,125
My husband liked to save.
We liked to save, -
103
00:09:30,209 --> 00:09:36,000
- and he agreed to
set aside $ 300,000, -
104
00:09:36,084 --> 00:09:39,875
- so I could reopen
my consultancy in the USA.
105
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,042
This is a picture from my office
in Kentucky. From our house in Kentucky.
106
00:09:45,125 --> 00:09:49,042
- It's hard to find.
- The downstairs freezer, Meg.
107
00:09:49,542 --> 00:09:51,584
They re-established themselves.
108
00:09:52,459 --> 00:09:54,417
Is this the living room?
109
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:58,209
Everything was in position for
a happy family life.
110
00:09:58,292 --> 00:10:00,750
There are three monkeys!
111
00:10:00,834 --> 00:10:07,584
But it was a big deception.
There were quite different things going on.
112
00:10:07,667 --> 00:10:10,334
- It feels bigger, doesn't it?
- Yeah.
113
00:10:10,417 --> 00:10:12,542
What are you doing up there?
114
00:10:12,625 --> 00:10:16,875
After moving to Kentucky
and had bought a house there,
115
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,750
- Gary decided to
bring the kids to the camping.
116
00:10:19,834 --> 00:10:25,584
His sister came by with the mail.
117
00:10:25,667 --> 00:10:29,084
In his name but with other addresses.
118
00:10:31,209 --> 00:10:35,334
She became so curious,
that she opened some of the envelopes-
119
00:10:35,417 --> 00:10:38,709
-and found a lot of account statements.
120
00:10:39,667 --> 00:10:45,500
It came as a shock because it was
accounts that she did not know about.
121
00:10:45,584 --> 00:10:50,917
It was pure luck that she got the letters
and discovered the truth.
122
00:10:56,709 --> 00:11:01,500
He had taken the million that was
saved up on our company account.
123
00:11:01,584 --> 00:11:05,584
He said, "You're poor, I'm rich.
That's just how it is."
124
00:11:09,375 --> 00:11:14,667
I heard her quiver in the phone,
for it was incredibly painful.
125
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:18,500
Here he has moved the money.
He has moved 25,000 from here.
126
00:11:18,584 --> 00:11:23,500
He took all the money. Why did
He didn't just give us a little food?
127
00:11:28,125 --> 00:11:32,417
He did a lot of terrible
thing. The first month in Holland-
128
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,667
- he opened a Swiss account,
which he transferred money to.
129
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:40,292
Then an account on the Isle of Man,
and one in South America.
130
00:11:40,375 --> 00:11:44,459
He did everything for that money
ended up in his account,
131
00:11:44,542 --> 00:11:48,250
- while it looked as if
that they ended up in the right place.
132
00:11:52,084 --> 00:11:55,292
When my lawyer saw it, she said:
133
00:11:55,375 --> 00:11:59,250
"He must have planned this
from the day you got married. "
134
00:11:59,334 --> 00:12:02,459
The fear of being
married to one for 17 years, -
135
00:12:02,542 --> 00:12:06,042
- as I thought I should live
with the rest of their lives,
136
00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:10,750
- But who hated me. How
felt? Like a cannonball in the chest.
137
00:12:10,792 --> 00:12:14,375
I was broken. Humiliated.
138
00:12:14,459 --> 00:12:18,750
And stupid. I blamed myself
that I had not discovered it.
139
00:12:18,792 --> 00:12:22,042
That's how I felt.
Humble and stupid.
140
00:12:23,792 --> 00:12:29,625
A psychologist wanted a party
in relation to what she lived through.
141
00:12:29,709 --> 00:12:32,584
That was the end of that relationship.
142
00:12:44,875 --> 00:12:51,417
WE BAD CATIES FORMER MAN
ABOUT AN INTERVIEW
143
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:57,709
GARY THANK YOU NO
144
00:13:00,417 --> 00:13:05,292
Yes, I have the seizures here somewhere.
They are ready.
145
00:13:06,917 --> 00:13:11,709
He didn't steal because he was missing
money. It was about control.
146
00:13:14,334 --> 00:13:17,125
The fight for the money
is still running.
147
00:13:19,084 --> 00:13:23,000
It is a court of law.
It's been a ten year long battle.
148
00:13:23,084 --> 00:13:26,375
Proof...
149
00:13:26,459 --> 00:13:31,334
He did not pay child support. He
bought a new car right after the divorce,
150
00:13:31,417 --> 00:13:34,334
- but could not pay child support.
151
00:13:34,417 --> 00:13:40,125
All the boxes are full of evidence
what happened over the years.
152
00:13:40,209 --> 00:13:45,125
My lawyer said, "I have to tell
you something. It's a bit shocking. "
153
00:13:45,209 --> 00:13:47,917
I said, "Okay."
And she said:
154
00:13:48,042 --> 00:13:51,209
"He never let himself be separated
from his previous wife. "
155
00:13:52,417 --> 00:13:55,459
I was in shock. Total in shock.
156
00:13:57,542 --> 00:14:01,167
I thought he was divorced,
and married him.
157
00:14:05,667 --> 00:14:09,792
I have not decided to
if I want to pursue the bigami case.
158
00:14:12,084 --> 00:14:14,709
I had a "Sophies Choice"
from the beginning.
159
00:14:14,750 --> 00:14:20,042
My lawyer said, "Fight for yours
money or your children. You can choose."
160
00:14:20,125 --> 00:14:25,084
It was my million. He didn't
earned a penny. And it was my children.
161
00:14:25,167 --> 00:14:30,500
I had to fight for the kids first,
and go after the money later.
162
00:14:34,334 --> 00:14:37,709
I traveled home to mine
family in California.
163
00:14:38,792 --> 00:14:42,792
We moved in with my uncle, like
also lived through a divorce.
164
00:14:42,875 --> 00:14:47,459
He fought like that
single father with two sons, -
165
00:14:47,542 --> 00:14:49,375
-and mother fought with us.
166
00:14:50,709 --> 00:14:53,334
My sister is my sister
rest of life.
167
00:14:53,417 --> 00:14:57,625
Her children had no father,
so it was a good idea to move here.
168
00:14:57,709 --> 00:15:00,875
Then I could fill the father role
for her children,
169
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,209
- and she could fill
the mother role of mine.
170
00:15:03,292 --> 00:15:07,209
Then she didn't go
around like nun.
171
00:15:07,292 --> 00:15:10,292
It didn't come until later.
172
00:15:11,875 --> 00:15:15,625
I started a whole new life
173
00:15:15,709 --> 00:15:18,042
- with my kids in California.
174
00:15:18,125 --> 00:15:23,459
At that time, I didn't know that
just the beginning of the nightmare.
175
00:15:26,042 --> 00:15:28,334
LIFE IN THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA
176
00:15:33,209 --> 00:15:38,292
The beauty of Central California
valley. A valley full of nutritious land.
177
00:15:38,375 --> 00:15:41,209
Here the farmers harvest
lush crops.
178
00:15:43,084 --> 00:15:48,459
Today, California's valley is a source of
food and wealth for the whole nation.
179
00:15:48,542 --> 00:15:51,584
It also provides work for
millions of people.
180
00:15:52,542 --> 00:15:57,792
Many different crops are grown
here in the nutrient-rich soil.
181
00:16:02,584 --> 00:16:06,250
Medical marijuana
has been legal for a while.
182
00:16:06,334 --> 00:16:10,917
According to the law, a person can
grow up to twelve plants.
183
00:16:11,917 --> 00:16:18,334
California is the world's food basket. The
biggest source of income is marijuana.
184
00:16:18,417 --> 00:16:21,834
But we have not been able to
take advantage of it,
185
00:16:21,917 --> 00:16:26,000
- Because it has
certain illegal growers rich
186
00:16:26,084 --> 00:16:29,209
- beyond their wildest imagination.
187
00:16:30,375 --> 00:16:35,750
My brother talked about the cannabis laws,
and that if we were smart,
188
00:16:35,792 --> 00:16:41,125
- began to grow cannabis.
So I was from the beginning.
189
00:16:44,417 --> 00:16:48,334
She needed a job,
and it's hard to find here.
190
00:16:48,417 --> 00:16:53,459
Even for someone who is as smart as
her. Cannabis gave a good income.
191
00:16:56,375 --> 00:16:59,209
After the financial crisis in 2008-
192
00:16:59,292 --> 00:17:03,584
- agriculture in the valley
been in big trouble.
193
00:17:04,459 --> 00:17:08,500
Fortunately, it changed in 1996
cannabis laws in California, -
194
00:17:08,584 --> 00:17:11,917
- so you had to grow cannabis
for medical purposes.
195
00:17:12,042 --> 00:17:15,500
All the central part
the valley is full of marijuana.
196
00:17:18,084 --> 00:17:19,917
All the central part.
197
00:17:21,459 --> 00:17:25,750
From the far north
and all the way south.
198
00:17:28,167 --> 00:17:34,459
Counties that have legalized cannabis
has become rich in taxing it.
199
00:17:45,167 --> 00:17:50,875
Highly developed for medical use,
but also to the black market.
200
00:17:54,709 --> 00:17:57,875
Now a days breeding
many farmers cannabis.
201
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,292
Why go up into the mountains,
when to do it in the backyard?
202
00:18:02,375 --> 00:18:07,750
There are many who breed it, but there
are also many who will steal it.
203
00:18:07,834 --> 00:18:09,709
Waiting until you sleep.
204
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:14,334
If you don't know what to do,
one can get big problems.
205
00:18:19,084 --> 00:18:24,292
We had stayed here for four months, and
I could not work with my professional
206
00:18:24,375 --> 00:18:27,167
- Without having to leave my children.
207
00:18:32,167 --> 00:18:36,209
That was exciting. I had
never tried anything like this before.
208
00:18:36,292 --> 00:18:38,500
I worked in the business world.
209
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:44,042
I was good at speech and Gary used it
to grow everything in our garden.
210
00:18:44,125 --> 00:18:47,292
So I knew
that we should do it.
211
00:18:47,375 --> 00:18:53,042
I said, "Okay, we grow grass. We
delivers grass. We become the grass family. "
212
00:18:54,625 --> 00:18:58,334
I went into the cannabis industry
under a number of conditions.
213
00:18:59,459 --> 00:19:02,209
It should be legal.
We had to pay taxes.
214
00:19:02,292 --> 00:19:06,917
We only had to sell to the sick
and not on the black market.
215
00:19:07,042 --> 00:19:11,459
Soon we had the first crops
and looking for clients at the doctors.
216
00:19:12,125 --> 00:19:17,542
I sold only to the sick and dying.
The doctors did not give us others.
217
00:19:18,667 --> 00:19:23,750
The area is so poor that we gave them
grass regardless of whether they paid or not.
218
00:19:23,792 --> 00:19:27,084
It's bad karma to let people suffer.
219
00:19:27,167 --> 00:19:31,209
But at this time was legal
cannabis brand new in California.
220
00:19:31,292 --> 00:19:37,250
In the beginning, people did not believe that
someone delivered cannabis here in town.
221
00:19:37,334 --> 00:19:39,292
So we knocked, -
222
00:19:39,375 --> 00:19:43,167
- and the person opened,
Stuck out and looked around.
223
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:47,542
To see if the police were there,
before they closed us in.
224
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:57,000
This photo of the five children is from the year,
where I moved in with my brother.
225
00:19:57,084 --> 00:20:01,667
The boys were 14-22,
and my daughter was 13.
226
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:05,542
They responded differently
their mother's new career choice.
227
00:20:07,417 --> 00:20:10,250
I never invited
my friends back home.
228
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:12,667
They were not ready for that.
229
00:20:12,750 --> 00:20:16,834
They didn't have to go back in the backyard,
for they did not have to see all the plants.
230
00:20:16,917 --> 00:20:18,750
Where are you going, honey?
231
00:20:21,417 --> 00:20:26,750
We didn't have to sell on the black
market, for it attracted twenty.
232
00:20:26,834 --> 00:20:30,459
You are such a troublemaker.
Real troublemakers.
233
00:20:30,542 --> 00:20:36,625
The legal way is much more expensive.
You have to pay taxes and hire guards.
234
00:20:37,125 --> 00:20:41,292
Come here, monkey.
I'll throw you into the other bed.
235
00:20:41,375 --> 00:20:45,584
But that's the safe way
so one should not be worried.
236
00:20:45,667 --> 00:20:49,500
But I didn't know
what to expect.
237
00:20:49,584 --> 00:20:53,417
It was likely that my children,
like my brother's children,
238
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:57,750
- wanted to smoke grass in high school.
But I didn't know anything about that.
239
00:20:57,792 --> 00:21:00,917
I put them to work instead.
240
00:21:01,042 --> 00:21:05,125
Alex was big and strong,
so he helped me with everything possible.
241
00:21:07,792 --> 00:21:10,417
He was the man in the house.
242
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,042
Are they busy,
so they can't smoke so much.
243
00:21:19,334 --> 00:21:24,167
They found it here when they dug.
It's a dinner bell.
244
00:21:28,084 --> 00:21:32,625
As the cultivation of marijuana took off,
I had a lot of fun with it.
245
00:21:32,709 --> 00:21:36,709
I didn't have to smoke then.
So I...
246
00:21:36,750 --> 00:21:39,542
... stole my mother's shutters instead.
247
00:21:39,625 --> 00:21:44,209
I was once really skewed under
dining, and she said nothing,
248
00:21:44,292 --> 00:21:48,084
- because she didn't know
how to handle it.
249
00:21:50,417 --> 00:21:55,125
My uncle confronted me and said:
"Why are your eyes so gloomy?"
250
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,042
My answer was: "It's the cat.
I'm allergic to cats. "
251
00:22:01,125 --> 00:22:06,292
I didn't think of anything else. They knew,
that it was a lie, but let it lie.
252
00:22:10,375 --> 00:22:12,750
It went well for us.
253
00:22:12,834 --> 00:22:16,500
Those who grow almonds,
is probably just as proud.
254
00:22:16,584 --> 00:22:21,084
But I had rules.
I drove the business legally.
255
00:22:23,667 --> 00:22:26,334
It was really ... strong.
256
00:22:26,417 --> 00:22:31,875
Everything had to be posted. All grass
went from warehouse to order system.
257
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,834
There were no holes.
258
00:22:37,375 --> 00:22:41,542
She is a good businesswoman.
She is extremely smart.
259
00:22:41,625 --> 00:22:44,334
She knows business.
260
00:22:44,417 --> 00:22:48,625
But no one has become millionaires.
No one has been on holiday.
261
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:52,042
In most homes there is
need two incomes.
262
00:22:52,125 --> 00:22:56,792
It was hard to afford
home loan with just one income.
263
00:22:57,875 --> 00:23:03,084
We had had the company for three years,
when I discovered a blackberry trade,
264
00:23:03,167 --> 00:23:05,459
- as my brother was involved in.
265
00:23:07,584 --> 00:23:11,042
I exploded.
My Irish temper exploded.
266
00:23:11,125 --> 00:23:17,709
I was furious and that night
he literally threw me out.
267
00:23:21,917 --> 00:23:26,084
I literally saw my uncle
take my mother in the neck
268
00:23:26,167 --> 00:23:28,875
-and force her out of the house.
269
00:23:29,792 --> 00:23:32,542
And I don't understand.
270
00:23:35,875 --> 00:23:39,209
We were not violent against each other.
271
00:23:39,292 --> 00:23:42,625
We do not hand each other.
We are not like that.
272
00:23:42,709 --> 00:23:44,542
We ... we shout.
273
00:23:44,625 --> 00:23:47,542
My brother smashed my knees, -
274
00:23:47,625 --> 00:23:51,042
-and my family spoke my screams.
275
00:23:51,125 --> 00:23:56,459
I have my rules and principles,
and she has her rules and principles.
276
00:23:56,542 --> 00:24:00,417
And ... I said:
"Too bad for you, it's my house."
277
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:02,750
I didn't consider it
as a quarrel.
278
00:24:02,792 --> 00:24:08,250
For me, it was about my rules.
Obey them, or you move.
279
00:24:16,834 --> 00:24:20,625
Christine did not receive any
support from the family.
280
00:24:20,709 --> 00:24:22,917
Then we disagreed about this.
281
00:24:23,667 --> 00:24:25,834
Everyone took my party.
282
00:24:26,875 --> 00:24:30,792
My family said:
"Leave your children. It should go.
283
00:24:30,875 --> 00:24:37,084
It was the marijuana. You should have
knew it wouldn't work. "
284
00:24:37,167 --> 00:24:42,292
She doesn't have to smile at the camera.
Be the witch she usually wears.
285
00:24:42,375 --> 00:24:45,667
- Exactly.
- What a sweet mother.
286
00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:48,042
Suddenly, I was homeless.
287
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,250
I walked around in the central Merced
288
00:24:57,334 --> 00:25:01,375
- and looked at the houses with
air conditioning and heating and light.
289
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:04,584
I had nowhere to go.
290
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:11,917
It provided an understanding for
how homeless actually have it.
291
00:25:13,834 --> 00:25:17,167
It was hard.
Harder for her than for me,
292
00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:22,500
- Because I had a house while she was
in principle lived on the street.
293
00:25:25,084 --> 00:25:30,917
Mom suffered from a depression and I
learned that when you have problems,
294
00:25:31,042 --> 00:25:34,417
- is it often your closest,
who hurt you the most.
295
00:25:37,084 --> 00:25:40,167
A family's failure.
296
00:25:40,250 --> 00:25:47,125
I realized my whole view
the family was based on a lie.
297
00:25:48,667 --> 00:25:52,292
The values I grew up with,
did not exist.
298
00:25:52,375 --> 00:25:58,500
They didn't love me. They loved,
how they went out in my eyes.
299
00:25:59,584 --> 00:26:03,542
No one bothered to look for her
to see if she was okay.
300
00:26:03,625 --> 00:26:05,917
Except ... me.
301
00:26:07,792 --> 00:26:12,500
First, it was about making sure
that mother was in safety
302
00:26:12,584 --> 00:26:17,375
- And was okay, for that
she always made sure I was.
303
00:26:17,459 --> 00:26:20,375
I can do nothing without her.
304
00:26:22,917 --> 00:26:26,417
We spent the time finding out
where to get food from,
305
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:29,250
- or where to sleep.
306
00:26:29,334 --> 00:26:34,125
I was hungry. I was not thinking
the school. Only to get something to eat.
307
00:26:34,209 --> 00:26:36,709
And I was thirsty.
308
00:26:36,750 --> 00:26:41,334
We had a pretty serious one
discussion about suicide, we two.
309
00:26:42,875 --> 00:26:46,834
It was a big failure.
I considered suicide daily.
310
00:26:48,625 --> 00:26:54,375
I wanted to be with the angels, where there
is safe. Here it was too scary.
311
00:26:56,750 --> 00:27:00,042
We talked about taking pills.
312
00:27:00,125 --> 00:27:02,875
With painkillers it doesn't hurt.
313
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,209
But we had no money,
so we didn't even afford pills.
314
00:27:08,292 --> 00:27:12,667
I thought about it,
and finally I succeeded
315
00:27:12,750 --> 00:27:16,750
- to talk her out of it.
At first I thought, "Yes, for the hell!"
316
00:27:22,459 --> 00:27:27,000
The only thing that kept me from doing
That was that they had won.
317
00:27:27,084 --> 00:27:30,542
Then my children wouldn't have a mother.
318
00:27:33,667 --> 00:27:38,459
After four months as homeless went
my mother finally helps me.
319
00:27:38,542 --> 00:27:41,209
She guaranteed me.
I was unemployed.
320
00:27:41,292 --> 00:27:46,250
I was 56 but was treated like that
a 17 year old who wanted to buy a house.
321
00:27:46,334 --> 00:27:51,125
So I got help from mine
mother to buy a house.
322
00:27:51,209 --> 00:27:54,834
I rented a small house by the railroad
for $ 1,000 a month.
323
00:28:01,917 --> 00:28:07,250
One night in 2015, it knocked on the door
at two o'clock at night.
324
00:28:07,334 --> 00:28:10,459
There was a young man
and asked for help.
325
00:28:10,542 --> 00:28:15,375
After a burglary in Merced County is
two men were killed and one wounded.
326
00:28:15,459 --> 00:28:21,417
The robbers wanted marijuana,
but it ended up with a shotgun.
327
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:26,209
One that I could not see forced
the door opened and penetrated my house.
328
00:28:27,834 --> 00:28:31,750
My son heard the tumult
and came out of his bedroom
329
00:28:31,834 --> 00:28:34,834
- with a gun,
as he never fired before.
330
00:28:34,917 --> 00:28:38,750
He killed the guy as I fought
with. He put five bullets in him.
331
00:28:38,834 --> 00:28:42,917
But my finger was caught
in ... the swap.
332
00:28:44,584 --> 00:28:48,917
The robbers probably chose the house,
because it is known
333
00:28:49,042 --> 00:28:53,459
- sale of marijuana to medical
use, which is prohibited in Merced.
334
00:28:53,542 --> 00:28:58,917
Jeez. Sometimes you have to see
it as a sign from the universe on, -
335
00:28:59,042 --> 00:29:01,542
-to make something you shouldn't.
336
00:29:16,792 --> 00:29:21,709
How many times have you heard, "I
must do as I will with my body. "
337
00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:25,375
I hear it all the time.
Then go out and live in a cave.
338
00:29:25,459 --> 00:29:27,792
Because when you become addicted,
339
00:29:27,875 --> 00:29:30,709
-It affects everyone in your family.
340
00:29:31,625 --> 00:29:35,084
Your neighbor will have to relate
to your addiction.
341
00:29:35,167 --> 00:29:39,459
The whole community you live in.
When you become addicted to marijuana ...
342
00:29:40,917 --> 00:29:43,584
... not only do you destroy your own life.
343
00:29:43,667 --> 00:29:47,000
You also destroy
the lives of many others.
344
00:29:47,084 --> 00:29:49,167
At the same time.
345
00:30:06,125 --> 00:30:09,334
In Merced you must not
breed marijuana as a business.
346
00:30:09,417 --> 00:30:13,750
You have to breed twelve
plants for their own use.
347
00:30:13,792 --> 00:30:18,750
It is not possible to get permission
to do business.
348
00:30:21,667 --> 00:30:26,834
I started making oils of mine 12
plants that I sold worldwide.
349
00:30:26,917 --> 00:30:30,792
Even though I was not allowed
doing business from home.
350
00:30:33,667 --> 00:30:38,542
So I balanced between
different laws.
351
00:30:38,625 --> 00:30:42,250
And I knew
that I was moving on the border.
352
00:30:42,334 --> 00:30:45,750
It's the sheriff in the region,
who draws the borders.
353
00:30:45,792 --> 00:30:48,084
I have to be crooked
to keep up with this.
354
00:30:48,167 --> 00:30:50,750
From the community in Merced County ...
355
00:30:53,375 --> 00:30:57,584
We are your voice.
Merced County News.
356
00:30:57,667 --> 00:31:03,500
Here is Diana Perez, with Merced
Countys Sheriff, Verne Warnke.
357
00:31:04,750 --> 00:31:10,042
We have gangsters,
who have married each other-
358
00:31:10,125 --> 00:31:12,500
-and have got gangster children ...
359
00:31:12,584 --> 00:31:17,209
Many murder cases are due to one
external influences, such as
360
00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:21,000
- or abuse of some kind.
Often because of illegal drugs.
361
00:31:21,084 --> 00:31:24,417
We will go after them,
active and aggressive.
362
00:31:31,834 --> 00:31:34,875
Cannabis can be very dangerous.
363
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,042
We have a nationwide epidemic.
364
00:31:37,125 --> 00:31:40,417
People just want to be crooked.
I do not understand it.
365
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:45,209
They are not productive.
They splurge on society.
366
00:31:45,292 --> 00:31:49,542
The few who do not take drugs -
367
00:31:49,625 --> 00:31:53,000
- Those who work
and pay tax, -
368
00:31:53,084 --> 00:31:55,500
-and pay for the abusers.
369
00:31:55,584 --> 00:32:01,542
Would you like your surgeon sitting
outside the hospital before your surgery
370
00:32:01,625 --> 00:32:05,875
- and smokes a joint and says:
"I'm fine"?
371
00:32:07,167 --> 00:32:11,459
Do people think it's okay?
Would you like that?
372
00:32:11,542 --> 00:32:16,375
What would you say to the two pilots,
who flies your 747 smokes?
373
00:32:16,459 --> 00:32:18,917
If it's okay, is it okay?
374
00:32:19,042 --> 00:32:23,750
Or the police coming home to you,
Should they be crooked,
375
00:32:23,792 --> 00:32:27,750
- while trying to maintain the law
and make the right decisions?
376
00:32:27,792 --> 00:32:34,084
Everyone must obey the law.
The government protects the citizens.
377
00:32:39,292 --> 00:32:44,084
The point is that the amount of
banner related marijuana is huge.
378
00:32:46,375 --> 00:32:52,584
A county north of us has declared
state of emergency due to this.
379
00:32:52,667 --> 00:32:56,542
If it continues like this,
is the next step for me too.
380
00:32:56,625 --> 00:33:01,375
Officers meet their day off
to get it alive.
381
00:33:01,459 --> 00:33:03,667
They know it's a problem.
382
00:33:03,750 --> 00:33:09,084
We are on our way to a gentleman,
who are wanted for serious crimes.
383
00:33:09,167 --> 00:33:13,250
Last time he was contacted by his guardian,
384
00:33:13,334 --> 00:33:17,542
- They found several
illegally bred marijuana plants.
385
00:33:17,625 --> 00:33:20,125
He will not cooperate with the police.
386
00:33:23,209 --> 00:33:28,417
I fear that local growers will believe
that they will be robbed by criminals.
387
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,875
These gangs do not hold back
in relation to shooting after the police.
388
00:33:33,042 --> 00:33:35,334
- Are there twelve plants here?
- Yes.
389
00:33:35,417 --> 00:33:39,125
- You know it is per piece?
- Yes.
390
00:33:39,209 --> 00:33:42,750
- We've been doing it for four years.
- What happens is ...
391
00:33:42,792 --> 00:33:46,875
... that you must have twelve plants in total.
Six each place.
392
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,125
This is one piece,
So here are problems.
393
00:33:51,209 --> 00:33:55,750
Two people grow here. There may only be
be twelve plants per plot.
394
00:33:55,792 --> 00:33:59,000
We have twelve plants there.
It's the maximum.
395
00:33:59,084 --> 00:34:02,500
And then we have illegal plants over here.
396
00:34:03,542 --> 00:34:06,000
- If it is here?
- I do not know.
397
00:34:06,084 --> 00:34:08,084
- Don't you know if it is?
- No.
398
00:34:08,167 --> 00:34:12,709
- Do you know how many plants there are?
- No, I'm not going over there.
399
00:34:14,625 --> 00:34:19,834
Three years ago our county had
most murders per capita.
400
00:34:19,917 --> 00:34:22,792
There were many
gang-related murders.
401
00:34:26,209 --> 00:34:29,584
We have a problem,
And that's terrible.
402
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:49,542
They save the plants
behind a lot of boxes.
403
00:34:49,625 --> 00:34:54,625
This is a typical little one
planting with 24 plants.
404
00:34:54,709 --> 00:34:57,042
With the twelve over there it will be 36.
405
00:34:59,375 --> 00:35:04,250
We have found fields where people have
spent their entire savings on
406
00:35:04,334 --> 00:35:08,875
- cultivating marijuana. And then we are
come by and have done our job.
407
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,292
We enforce the law
and they are broken up in tears,
408
00:35:14,375 --> 00:35:20,209
- because they have invested everything in an industry
with a lot of gray zones.
409
00:35:22,750 --> 00:35:27,500
The problem is, it's not just
used for medical use.
410
00:35:27,584 --> 00:35:32,917
When you are in charge of a hero
county and there is something in the county,
411
00:35:33,042 --> 00:35:37,459
- animating burglary, robbery,
murder, violence and band crime, -
412
00:35:37,542 --> 00:35:41,625
- then you have to have one
zero tolerance. It must be gone.
413
00:35:45,125 --> 00:35:47,459
We do everything we can,
to fight it.
414
00:35:49,417 --> 00:35:54,667
I destroy their products
and bring them to court.
415
00:35:55,625 --> 00:35:59,834
When the week is over,
We destroy more than three tons.
416
00:35:59,917 --> 00:36:03,000
So much end up
dump every Friday.
417
00:36:03,084 --> 00:36:08,042
Sometimes we find so much,
that it can't be on the truck.
418
00:36:12,375 --> 00:36:16,709
Medical marijuana has been
legally in California for a while.
419
00:36:16,750 --> 00:36:22,542
But it's just a step on the way
against legalizing its use.
420
00:36:27,375 --> 00:36:31,500
It was 535 kilos.
421
00:36:31,584 --> 00:36:33,875
So much we threw out.
422
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,250
That corresponds to $ 1.1 million.
423
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:55,417
We step in for everyone who breaks
the law. Do You Grow Illegal Cannabis,
424
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:59,584
-You get a fine or a prison sentence.
425
00:37:02,125 --> 00:37:06,459
When the harvest approaches, the police are
looking for plants.
426
00:37:06,542 --> 00:37:10,875
Although we do not sell on the black
market and not have THC, -
427
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,042
- They can take our plants.
428
00:37:13,125 --> 00:37:16,459
It is illegal.
Don't sell it.
429
00:37:16,542 --> 00:37:20,167
I'm not allowed to
grow more than twelve plants.
430
00:37:21,459 --> 00:37:25,542
What makes it illegal is,
that we do not allow any kind of
431
00:37:25,625 --> 00:37:29,084
- marijuana pharmacy in Merced County.
Not at all.
432
00:37:30,417 --> 00:37:34,542
Although we work as a pharmacy,
there is always a risk that they will
433
00:37:34,625 --> 00:37:37,417
- and river plants up
for thousands of dollars.
434
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:41,375
We are on the road to the police station,
so they stop here often-
435
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:44,917
- to show what they are
just confiscated.
436
00:37:45,042 --> 00:37:48,000
They usually ask
if I want to make a contribution.
437
00:37:49,375 --> 00:37:51,334
My harvest is threatened.
438
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:56,167
Try to convince me,
that the twelve plants are for their own consumption.
439
00:37:56,250 --> 00:38:00,417
You should smoke constantly,
without being able to use it all.
440
00:38:04,625 --> 00:38:10,584
They only cultivate so much
with sales in mind.
441
00:38:10,667 --> 00:38:14,834
I have been assigned a task
and I take it very seriously.
442
00:38:17,125 --> 00:38:20,084
But we continue to grow
and run the risk.
443
00:38:23,417 --> 00:38:28,125
Is it okay that we plant them a little
randomly around the ground,
444
00:38:28,209 --> 00:38:30,417
- So the sheriff doesn't discover them?
445
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:34,084
It is okay. We can put one over there.
446
00:38:35,334 --> 00:38:39,750
- Over there ...
- It will be our bonus plants.
447
00:38:39,792 --> 00:38:43,000
The worst thing that can happen is,
that the sheriff takes them.
448
00:38:43,084 --> 00:38:46,917
If he counts them, we can say:
"Take it there and there."
449
00:38:47,709 --> 00:38:50,709
Technically, we can get
$ 1,000 fines.
450
00:38:50,750 --> 00:38:54,834
But if they overlook a plant ...
A plant is worth 3,000.
451
00:38:54,917 --> 00:38:59,709
- It is a risk that we must run.
- Every seed is worth the money.
452
00:39:02,584 --> 00:39:05,459
See the sunlight behind the gazebo.
453
00:39:05,542 --> 00:39:07,917
Can we plant them there somewhere?
454
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,625
And then we save the little ones.
We find bright places around.
455
00:39:13,709 --> 00:39:17,042
I'm willing to run the risk,
if you are.
456
00:39:17,125 --> 00:39:19,709
Let's put them in the ground.
457
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:22,125
I am preparing the lamp.
458
00:39:25,917 --> 00:39:30,667
At one point everyone knew
that the earth was flat.
459
00:39:30,750 --> 00:39:35,834
At one point, everyone knew that women
had smaller brains than men.
460
00:39:41,167 --> 00:39:45,709
Now everyone knows that cannabis is dangerous.
461
00:39:46,750 --> 00:39:49,584
The question is a test of the nation.
462
00:39:55,209 --> 00:39:58,542
Our work is testing the limits of the law, -
463
00:39:58,625 --> 00:40:03,417
- our right to cultivate this
medicine and support ourselves.
464
00:40:04,917 --> 00:40:10,084
They try to put out a smoke screen and
say they have a great product,
465
00:40:10,167 --> 00:40:13,292
- as you have to do a hero
lots of other things to sell ..
466
00:40:16,209 --> 00:40:20,042
Do not think that an abuse
prevents me from prosecuting.
467
00:40:20,125 --> 00:40:22,750
Because it doesn't, so ...
468
00:40:31,917 --> 00:40:34,750
We cannot grow without a license.
469
00:40:34,834 --> 00:40:39,792
We need a license to
the company can grow.
470
00:40:41,209 --> 00:40:45,042
Your biggest challenge right now is
thus the police's view of the matter,
471
00:40:45,125 --> 00:40:48,917
- and that you are constantly looking at you
over the shoulder after the police?
472
00:40:49,042 --> 00:40:51,709
Yes, we are scared. We do something illegal.
473
00:40:51,750 --> 00:40:57,584
How can I say to a farmer,
that it is safe to play with us "?
474
00:40:57,667 --> 00:41:03,584
We would be able to cooperate,
when we have our permission.
475
00:41:04,667 --> 00:41:10,292
You have defended many who have used
cannabis, through your career.
476
00:41:11,125 --> 00:41:15,917
Do you think they would charge
one like me to sell?
477
00:41:16,042 --> 00:41:18,417
Do you think they would?
478
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,375
Well ...
479
00:41:20,459 --> 00:41:25,792
If they classify it ...
as you sell ...
480
00:41:25,875 --> 00:41:28,417
... like a drug.
481
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:31,209
- Okay.
- If they consider that ...
482
00:41:31,292 --> 00:41:33,584
... yes, so no doubt.
483
00:41:33,667 --> 00:41:35,917
Merced County doesn't want it.
484
00:41:36,042 --> 00:41:41,000
Marijuana has never been legal.
Not at all in the twentieth century.
485
00:41:41,084 --> 00:41:47,000
It became part of the cultural struggle and
opposition to the Vietnam War.
486
00:41:47,084 --> 00:41:52,209
So we never got to that
debate whether the drug has
487
00:41:52,292 --> 00:41:54,292
-A medical justification?
488
00:41:58,875 --> 00:42:02,584
There are two well-known ones
components of the cannabis plant:
489
00:42:02,667 --> 00:42:04,334
THC and CBD.
490
00:42:05,834 --> 00:42:09,750
The science behind all confuses.
491
00:42:12,042 --> 00:42:16,250
Hi, my name is David Allen.
I'm a retired heart surgeon.
492
00:42:16,334 --> 00:42:21,750
I am a member of International
Cannabinoid Research Society, ICRS.
493
00:42:21,792 --> 00:42:25,042
So I research in cannabinoids.
494
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:28,917
The difference between THC and CBD is,
what they bind to.
495
00:42:29,042 --> 00:42:33,709
THC binds to the CB1 receptor,
which makes one get crooked.
496
00:42:33,750 --> 00:42:37,750
CBD works by means of
mechanisms other than THC.
497
00:42:37,792 --> 00:42:42,375
CBD binds to CB2 receptors,
and it also binds to
498
00:42:42,459 --> 00:42:47,667
- opioid receptors, serotonin receptors
and dopamine receptors.
499
00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:54,750
In the future, cannabis will be used for
to cure cancer, prevent heartbeat, -
500
00:42:54,792 --> 00:43:01,625
- Stop diabetes, epilepsy
and a variety of other diseases.
501
00:43:02,334 --> 00:43:07,584
This is the childhood of this research.
502
00:43:12,584 --> 00:43:15,334
I harvested mine
first CBD crops in April
503
00:43:15,417 --> 00:43:19,292
- and soon realized
that I would quickly sell it all.
504
00:43:19,375 --> 00:43:24,792
So I had to get more. The things
has changed a lot in recent years.
505
00:43:24,875 --> 00:43:28,542
Three years ago cultivated
no one in California CBD.
506
00:43:28,625 --> 00:43:33,917
I couldn't get it from Oregon.
No cultivated CBD.
507
00:43:34,042 --> 00:43:39,000
So to get it
I gathered three growers.
508
00:43:39,084 --> 00:43:44,167
A Mexican guy bought some land.
An eerie, haunted, -
509
00:43:44,250 --> 00:43:49,292
- abandoned and burned house,
which was also incredibly old.
510
00:43:49,375 --> 00:43:52,917
One can see that the addicts have
been here with their syringes.
511
00:43:53,042 --> 00:43:57,209
There have been small heroin holes here.
512
00:43:57,292 --> 00:44:02,042
I bought the gun and was responsible
to guard the crops.
513
00:44:06,292 --> 00:44:08,667
My son Alex wanted a car.
514
00:44:08,750 --> 00:44:11,792
If he was guarding
crops two nights a week, -
515
00:44:11,875 --> 00:44:15,750
- He wanted a car.
- And you got it?
516
00:44:15,792 --> 00:44:17,334
So that part worked.
517
00:44:19,834 --> 00:44:23,917
But Alex couldn't do it alone,
so I asked Zane.
518
00:44:24,042 --> 00:44:28,209
I just had to watch and watch
with some plants. Does anyone pass by,
519
00:44:28,292 --> 00:44:30,792
- they see that someone is and goes.
520
00:44:30,875 --> 00:44:35,792
We had 60 plants
worth $ 60,000.
521
00:44:36,459 --> 00:44:41,417
One month to and the 60,000
had become $ 240,000.
522
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:44,125
They grow most the last month.
523
00:44:44,209 --> 00:44:46,750
The crops would be
worth a quarter of a million.
524
00:44:49,042 --> 00:44:51,917
We switched to live in the camper.
525
00:44:52,042 --> 00:44:56,375
One night at five
the dogs began to bark.
526
00:44:56,459 --> 00:45:00,125
I heard the noise and the dogs,
so I went outside.
527
00:45:00,209 --> 00:45:04,334
I saw a masked guy,
so I shouted him in. "Hello!"
528
00:45:04,417 --> 00:45:07,875
He looked at me and said:
"Don't be here."
529
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,792
And I shouted, "Get out of here!"
530
00:45:10,875 --> 00:45:15,292
He just looked at me,
and then began to raise the plants.
531
00:45:16,417 --> 00:45:20,500
Zane took his gun
and shot towards the guy.
532
00:45:20,584 --> 00:45:25,334
He moved a few meters
and then proceeded to pick up plants.
533
00:45:25,417 --> 00:45:27,584
- Zane shot in front of him.
- But he...
534
00:45:27,667 --> 00:45:30,417
He ran this road and Zane shot again.
535
00:45:30,875 --> 00:45:36,625
I shot three or four times before he
said, "How do I get away?"
536
00:45:36,709 --> 00:45:41,250
Zane pointed to the cactus
and heard him complain.
537
00:45:41,334 --> 00:45:45,042
Then he jumped
across the fence and stuck off.
538
00:45:48,334 --> 00:45:53,167
I gathered everyone and said, "We must
harvest, otherwise someone is killed. "
539
00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:55,209
But they didn't want to.
540
00:45:55,292 --> 00:45:58,375
We had to be taken from there
Immediately, but we did not.
541
00:45:58,459 --> 00:46:02,167
I'd be thrown off,
as soon as I heard the first shot.
542
00:46:02,250 --> 00:46:08,042
We raised several cameras, more
alarms and boards with nails in.
543
00:46:08,125 --> 00:46:11,792
It was my turn to go out here
and guard the place.
544
00:46:12,542 --> 00:46:16,542
I wouldn't be here alone,
So I asked Zane to come with me.
545
00:46:21,084 --> 00:46:24,667
It was five o'clock in the morning,
and I heard the alarm.
546
00:46:24,750 --> 00:46:27,375
I heard the dogs and said:
"So now, Zane."
547
00:46:27,459 --> 00:46:32,000
- I took my shoes and a weapon.
- Two balls stroking under the bed.
548
00:46:32,084 --> 00:46:34,084
The balls flew over our ears.
549
00:46:34,917 --> 00:46:38,709
- They tried to hit the gas.
- They wanted to blow us in the air.
550
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:44,500
Glass shattered in all vehicles.
Glass shattered in the camper.
551
00:46:44,584 --> 00:46:50,792
- A ball flew past my mother's head.
- They tried to kill us.
552
00:46:51,709 --> 00:46:54,917
- They just emptied the magazine.
- The camper was a big hole.
553
00:46:57,375 --> 00:47:04,292
- A bullet stroked his nose.
- I only had five bullets left.
554
00:47:04,375 --> 00:47:08,167
It was the worst gun.
I don't think she bought it.
555
00:47:08,250 --> 00:47:11,584
- It was pale dark.
- I had to load my hand.
556
00:47:12,500 --> 00:47:16,834
Those who shot at us covered
for others who stole our plants.
557
00:47:16,917 --> 00:47:20,625
- I heard a rumbling sound.
- He shot at the plants.
558
00:47:21,042 --> 00:47:26,459
- I hate to shoot in the blind.
- They screamed, "Stop, they kill us!"
559
00:47:26,542 --> 00:47:31,375
- They stopped shooting.
- "It's an emergency! Guns!"
560
00:47:31,459 --> 00:47:33,834
She pretended,
that she called the police.
561
00:47:33,917 --> 00:47:38,875
- "Send every man!" And then the address.
- But she didn't talk to anyone.
562
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:45,042
Zane said I could stop
the play, because they were gone.
563
00:47:46,167 --> 00:47:51,500
I called everyone I knew
who owned a weapon and asked for help.
564
00:47:51,584 --> 00:47:55,250
We didn't want to go empty-handed, for we
had grown them all summer.
565
00:47:55,334 --> 00:47:58,625
Within six hours
we removed all the plants.
566
00:47:58,709 --> 00:48:04,084
They were amazing and tasted great.
They were very strong.
567
00:48:04,167 --> 00:48:09,042
I heard the grower shout to his men,
that they were finished.
568
00:48:09,125 --> 00:48:12,542
- "Jump into the cars. We slip."
- He just wanted to go.
569
00:48:12,625 --> 00:48:17,084
I said, "Those of you working for
me and who want salary today, - "
570
00:48:17,167 --> 00:48:22,459
- go nowhere before we have collected
each one leaf, each one twig. "
571
00:48:22,542 --> 00:48:28,375
I would give them a huge shock.
Get them all the way up to the dips.
572
00:48:28,459 --> 00:48:30,334
We didn't leave as much as a magazine.
573
00:48:30,417 --> 00:48:34,084
My daughter was the worst.
She cried when she heard it
574
00:48:34,167 --> 00:48:38,042
- and tried to convince me
that it was completely off track.
575
00:48:38,125 --> 00:48:42,209
You end up in a shootout,
it's time to retire.
576
00:48:42,292 --> 00:48:47,417
Do not do your homework,
it always ends like this.
577
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:52,500
The grower was angry with me and it took
a few days before I understood,
578
00:48:52,584 --> 00:48:56,834
- that he was concerned about safety,
while I talked about enthusiasm
579
00:48:56,917 --> 00:48:59,334
- and about showing thieves,
who decided.
580
00:48:59,417 --> 00:49:02,459
I just want a better gun.
581
00:49:02,542 --> 00:49:06,125
Or better security.
Who needs a shootout?
582
00:49:06,209 --> 00:49:10,334
Even if you shoot one and yourself
shot ... who needs it?
583
00:49:10,417 --> 00:49:14,750
If weapons are a necessity, then
I think one should leave it alone.
584
00:49:14,834 --> 00:49:18,125
I've seen people come
too many stupid things.
585
00:49:18,209 --> 00:49:20,542
You can't just find a place
586
00:49:20,625 --> 00:49:25,500
- and cultivate it without knowing anything
or do his homework first.
587
00:49:25,584 --> 00:49:30,417
You have to check the neighbors
and read about the history of the place.
588
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:34,292
If you don't do your homework,
then one is murdered.
589
00:49:34,375 --> 00:49:38,584
We needed the money, though
never decided to do that again.
590
00:49:38,667 --> 00:49:41,709
I can't describe
how frustrating it was.
591
00:49:43,167 --> 00:49:45,542
Too many sleepless nights.
592
00:49:46,875 --> 00:49:52,417
We didn't call the police, but they
became aware of us after that.
593
00:50:12,917 --> 00:50:16,375
And now we are all being watched.
594
00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:23,792
I assume they are listening
all my phone calls.
595
00:50:23,875 --> 00:50:26,750
- Hi.
- Are you here because of the gun?
596
00:50:26,834 --> 00:50:28,334
Come with me.
597
00:50:28,417 --> 00:50:32,667
I expect them to read mine
emails and that they shadow us.
598
00:50:33,584 --> 00:50:37,750
That's my number. If you want one
alternatively, it is the same six numbers
599
00:50:37,792 --> 00:50:40,042
- but with 6003 at last.
600
00:50:40,125 --> 00:50:44,167
It's the office number,
if I don't answer the cell phone.
601
00:50:45,750 --> 00:50:49,750
They never find anything criminal
but every time they pass,
602
00:50:49,834 --> 00:50:53,709
- I think if it is now,
that the house of cards overturns.
603
00:50:54,917 --> 00:50:58,042
Marijuana, cannabis, grass.
604
00:50:58,125 --> 00:51:02,042
It makes you paranoid.
You think people are after you,
605
00:51:02,125 --> 00:51:04,375
-and that people are watching you.
606
00:51:04,459 --> 00:51:06,542
It is one of the effects of the substances.
607
00:51:06,625 --> 00:51:10,917
Why on earth will anyone
live with suspicion,
608
00:51:11,042 --> 00:51:13,542
- that the police are watching
with you up from the trees?
609
00:51:28,917 --> 00:51:32,000
I believe in holistic medicine.
610
00:51:32,084 --> 00:51:37,292
I work with the plant and my job
is a sacred call to heal.
611
00:51:39,167 --> 00:51:45,500
The county is so conservative that the only ones
patients who doctors referred to,
612
00:51:45,584 --> 00:51:49,667
- were dying patients, patients with
stroke, or bedridden.
613
00:51:49,750 --> 00:51:52,917
They were about to die.
614
00:51:53,042 --> 00:51:56,667
We delivered cannabis
to sick people, -
615
00:51:56,750 --> 00:52:00,542
- But their insurance did not cover.
Do you meet a dying man, -
616
00:52:00,625 --> 00:52:03,750
- do not let the person suffer,
so we gave them cannabis for free.
617
00:52:03,834 --> 00:52:07,459
If we didn't hear from them, we thought
if they were dead and called them:
618
00:52:07,542 --> 00:52:12,292
"No, but I have no money."
"Please, we'll send you one by one."
619
00:52:12,375 --> 00:52:16,750
It was those years,
who made me sister.
620
00:52:16,792 --> 00:52:18,750
Those years made me nun.
621
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:27,125
But the suit I was wearing
some years earlier.
622
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,584
After the financial crisis had robbed
All of us, the Occupy movement arose.
623
00:52:34,667 --> 00:52:40,584
We got up and said, "We accept
Not that it continues like this. "
624
00:52:40,667 --> 00:52:45,042
When the Occupy movement arose, it felt
I found that I had found my family!
625
00:52:45,125 --> 00:52:49,834
Other Americans are also angry!
It was the coolest.
626
00:52:49,917 --> 00:52:52,667
- We have decided...
- We have decided...
627
00:52:52,750 --> 00:52:55,042
... that the blockade continues!
628
00:52:55,125 --> 00:52:57,542
... that the blockade continues!
629
00:52:57,625 --> 00:53:02,917
I told my children: "We must
join the Occupy movement. "
630
00:53:05,167 --> 00:53:09,792
They said, "We go on Saturday,
if you come as a nun. "
631
00:53:09,875 --> 00:53:12,500
So it all started out as a bet.
632
00:53:14,834 --> 00:53:18,875
People who say it doesn't help
to demonstrate must think about.
633
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,750
Susan B. Anthony,
the women's movement, Rosa Parks.
634
00:53:22,834 --> 00:53:27,417
Nothing happens until people get angry
and begins to fight against.
635
00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:29,834
We defend ourselves.
636
00:53:29,917 --> 00:53:32,459
I walked around as a sister
Occupy for a period.
637
00:53:32,542 --> 00:53:38,584
I had been let down by mine
man through 17 years and my family ...
638
00:53:39,375 --> 00:53:45,250
It was such a big failure,
that it finally gave me the courage
639
00:53:45,334 --> 00:53:50,292
- doing something radical
and totally crazy.
640
00:53:50,375 --> 00:53:52,167
Such as forming a non-word.
641
00:53:54,500 --> 00:53:58,500
I thought if they thought
that I was so horrible,
642
00:53:58,584 --> 00:54:01,459
- because I sold grass,
that I deserved to be homeless,
643
00:54:01,542 --> 00:54:05,625
- Then they could rush me and I
be able to build my own family.
644
00:54:18,084 --> 00:54:21,709
People of course:
"Are you a Catholic nun?"
645
00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:24,417
"No."
"What kind of nun are you so?"
646
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:29,250
"I am a self-appointed,
Anarchist activist nun. "
647
00:54:31,667 --> 00:54:34,584
"Cool, must I be with you?"
648
00:54:34,667 --> 00:54:38,667
"No, you don't understand. I
does not recruit. I'm just like that. "
649
00:54:38,750 --> 00:54:41,917
But they said, "Here's my number.
I want to join."
650
00:54:43,834 --> 00:54:47,125
How people reacted everywhere.
651
00:54:54,167 --> 00:54:57,792
Soon I was surrounded by
beautiful, like-minded women, -
652
00:54:57,875 --> 00:55:04,209
- who would fight against the system
for the cannabis healing power.
653
00:55:14,750 --> 00:55:19,792
It feels like we have been led
for a reason. With a purpose.
654
00:55:21,459 --> 00:55:27,792
Many in my circle knew that
the plant had medicinal properties.
655
00:55:27,875 --> 00:55:31,375
They didn't just smoke to be crooked.
656
00:55:37,084 --> 00:55:42,084
Most of the people we meet
have had a hard life.
657
00:55:42,167 --> 00:55:47,792
One of the things I appreciate about
Sister Kate is that she will help them.
658
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,917
The family heals you.
659
00:55:57,084 --> 00:56:02,084
The unity and choice of being
with the family, gives strength.
660
00:56:02,875 --> 00:56:08,459
We just want to spread joy,
and what we have discovered with everyone else.
661
00:56:08,542 --> 00:56:10,834
Sorry I...
662
00:56:15,084 --> 00:56:18,792
The cannabis plant has done
so much for me.
663
00:56:18,875 --> 00:56:21,750
I became a nun six months ago.
664
00:56:21,792 --> 00:56:25,459
She is a fantastic model,
and very spiritual.
665
00:56:25,542 --> 00:56:30,709
I like what she's doing, so ...
I like her mission.
666
00:56:30,750 --> 00:56:36,834
I had eating disorders, which
made me start smoking grass.
667
00:56:36,917 --> 00:56:41,000
If I don't smoke cannabis,
I can't eat.
668
00:56:41,625 --> 00:56:46,792
It started when something happened in mine
family that I was not told.
669
00:56:46,875 --> 00:56:53,417
So I got the disease. We all have
bad experiences with our families.
670
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:56,750
The Cannabis has brought us together.
671
00:56:59,292 --> 00:57:03,750
All the sisters are going out
to see the cannabis cultivation.
672
00:57:04,584 --> 00:57:08,375
We are serious women
with a serious mission.
673
00:57:08,459 --> 00:57:13,584
My goal is that we should spread ourselves
like the Catholic nuns did.
674
00:57:13,667 --> 00:57:16,167
The grass nodes will spread
around the world.
675
00:57:16,250 --> 00:57:20,834
On Wednesday, Laurie goes to Coffee
Bandits to meet the opponents.
676
00:57:20,917 --> 00:57:26,084
Freya and Cassidy take care
about the products and sales.
677
00:57:26,167 --> 00:57:30,000
Grass is like honey.
The local products are the best.
678
00:57:30,084 --> 00:57:32,167
Cultivated by local women.
679
00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:36,042
We want those who hate us
will come and talk to us.
680
00:57:36,125 --> 00:57:39,709
Plant-based medicine.
Plant-based diet. Mother Nature.
681
00:57:39,750 --> 00:57:44,875
It is our religion. Our
healing powers are our weapons.
682
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:50,084
A global demonstration is being held
for cannabis. And I want to, -
683
00:57:50,167 --> 00:57:53,500
-you choose what you want to participate in.
684
00:57:53,584 --> 00:57:56,417
Jamie, you might go with that?
685
00:57:57,875 --> 00:58:01,667
She rang and said:
"Now I know what we should be called.
686
00:58:01,750 --> 00:58:07,000
Sisters of the Valley. "
She was taken down the town hall-
687
00:58:07,084 --> 00:58:09,750
-to make it official.
688
00:58:09,834 --> 00:58:12,500
- It will be fun.
- Yes.
689
00:58:12,584 --> 00:58:16,667
It's like a chance to.
You get a chance for life.
690
00:58:16,750 --> 00:58:18,834
This is exciting.
691
00:58:22,209 --> 00:58:25,542
Most people smoke to be crooked.
692
00:58:25,625 --> 00:58:28,542
They don't smoke marijuana,
because they are sick.
693
00:58:28,625 --> 00:58:31,500
We have statistics that say,
694
00:58:31,584 --> 00:58:37,417
- Two percent of those allowed to
smoking marijuana, need to do it.
695
00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:42,250
If you continue
down the path of destruction ...
696
00:58:42,334 --> 00:58:45,500
... then it will cost you your soul.
697
00:58:52,709 --> 00:58:57,875
We grow cannabis that contains
very CBD and very little THC.
698
00:58:58,667 --> 00:59:01,334
Will you take them here?
I cut them straight.
699
00:59:02,417 --> 00:59:04,792
After three to six months we harvest.
700
00:59:06,750 --> 00:59:10,709
This one is going to give THC
But we can't just cut it down.
701
00:59:11,750 --> 00:59:14,167
We dry them for a few weeks.
702
00:59:14,917 --> 00:59:17,500
We bless the holy kitchen.
703
00:59:25,417 --> 00:59:29,834
Bless the hand in our kitchen.
Because it will soon work hard.
704
00:59:36,292 --> 00:59:38,584
Then we warm up the coconut oil.
705
00:59:44,500 --> 00:59:47,250
We add CBD cannabis.
706
00:59:54,375 --> 00:59:57,542
We cook it for three or four hours.
707
01:00:00,584 --> 01:00:02,375
We filter it ...
708
01:00:08,667 --> 01:00:12,375
We add essential oils,
bottling it on the bottle
709
01:00:12,459 --> 01:00:14,459
-and puts on labels.
710
01:00:14,542 --> 01:00:17,084
When we receive one
online ordering ...
711
01:00:19,834 --> 01:00:22,500
... we'll send it by mail.
712
01:00:27,375 --> 01:00:30,875
The police have no problems
with CBD cannabis.
713
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,625
This gives a healing tea.
714
01:00:34,709 --> 01:00:39,792
The problem is that no one can see the difference
on a THC and a CBD plant.
715
01:00:39,875 --> 01:00:44,917
This is, for example, five percent
THC and eleven percent CBD.
716
01:00:45,042 --> 01:00:49,584
We must not sell it, it is too high.
But we smoke it.
717
01:00:52,292 --> 01:00:57,292
My question is: She's trying to
Sell a product as a medicine.
718
01:00:57,375 --> 01:01:00,917
What medical background does she have,
719
01:01:01,042 --> 01:01:04,167
- who supports,
that this cures anything?
720
01:01:05,167 --> 01:01:07,917
I don't think it cures anyone.
721
01:01:08,042 --> 01:01:12,459
They are drug dealers and when they claim
that it is medicine, they lie.
722
01:01:16,375 --> 01:01:22,459
If it really is so magical,
why is the pharmaceutical industry
723
01:01:22,542 --> 01:01:27,209
- So don't start cultivating it? If
It's so good, why doesn't it?
724
01:01:27,292 --> 01:01:31,167
They just want to be crooked.
That's why you take drugs.
725
01:01:32,084 --> 01:01:37,292
There are many medical studies,
showing the effects of cannabidiol.
726
01:01:37,375 --> 01:01:41,000
No one knows the scale
of the positive effect.
727
01:01:41,084 --> 01:01:44,750
It affects so many things,
that it is completely crazy.
728
01:01:44,834 --> 01:01:50,917
It's hard for people to understand,
how this one substance,
729
01:01:51,042 --> 01:01:54,917
- may affect so many
diseases. They don't believe it.
730
01:01:55,042 --> 01:01:59,084
But there is virtually none
diseases you can mention -
731
01:01:59,167 --> 01:02:01,792
- Which doesn't get better with cannabis.
732
01:02:01,875 --> 01:02:06,542
I've had Bell's palsy.
The face becomes slack, -
733
01:02:06,625 --> 01:02:10,917
- and the feeling disappears.
I used CBD oil and CBD ointment, -
734
01:02:11,042 --> 01:02:15,334
- And it was good after two weeks.
It saved my life.
735
01:02:15,417 --> 01:02:19,292
Most cancer patients who smoke
marijuana, eventually dies.
736
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:26,125
What we do is illegal.
To run a business from home
737
01:02:26,209 --> 01:02:29,000
- one must have a permit from the county.
738
01:02:29,084 --> 01:02:33,875
We have never received such a permit.
739
01:02:37,584 --> 01:02:41,500
I would not let THC cannabis
the laws prevent me
740
01:02:41,584 --> 01:02:44,459
- distributing THC-free products.
741
01:02:47,584 --> 01:02:53,167
What do you want to achieve? Let us say,
that you cooperate with a pharmacy,
742
01:02:53,250 --> 01:02:56,292
- and it starts rolling.
What is your goal?
743
01:02:56,375 --> 01:03:02,542
We succeeded if we can create
10,000 or 20,000 jobs here in the valley.
744
01:03:02,625 --> 01:03:05,459
Yes, it would be good.
We need that.
745
01:03:05,542 --> 01:03:10,084
Our county has the most
depressed throughout the state.
746
01:03:11,709 --> 01:03:17,500
Central California should be
the leading CBD exporter in the world.
747
01:03:17,584 --> 01:03:22,334
There are restrictions on
how do Sisters of the Valley-
748
01:03:22,417 --> 01:03:27,375
- could build a real one
serious industry here in the valley.
749
01:03:29,334 --> 01:03:34,084
We have applied for the county
permission to operate.
750
01:03:38,750 --> 01:03:41,625
SEAT KATE FIK
NO AUTHORIZATION
751
01:03:41,709 --> 01:03:46,000
If Merced County could,
they banned all cannabis.
752
01:03:46,084 --> 01:03:49,584
All cultivation and sale of cannabis.
753
01:03:49,667 --> 01:03:54,292
The old guard
still makes the rules.
754
01:03:56,084 --> 01:04:00,375
Like most of the United States
California is very religious.
755
01:04:01,084 --> 01:04:05,584
There are more than 50 churches
in Merced County alone.
756
01:04:08,917 --> 01:04:15,500
Everyone grows. I wanted an extra
room, and the girl behind the counter said:
757
01:04:15,584 --> 01:04:18,209
"What kind of nun are you?"
So I told you.
758
01:04:18,292 --> 01:04:22,209
And then she said, "Oh, my God, you will
come and bless my crops? "
759
01:04:23,250 --> 01:04:26,625
It was the receptionist behind the counter!
760
01:04:30,209 --> 01:04:35,125
People were really angry with us when they
thought we were Catholic nuns.
761
01:04:35,209 --> 01:04:38,667
I do not understand how anyone
may feel offended.
762
01:04:38,750 --> 01:04:42,750
We follow the Native Americans
and the faith of the beginning.
763
01:04:42,792 --> 01:04:47,459
They love the earth ... It's not like that
that we do not believe in a creative god.
764
01:04:47,542 --> 01:04:51,375
We just don't necessarily follow
the Christian principles.
765
01:04:51,459 --> 01:04:54,125
- We are...
- Why do you call you nuns?
766
01:04:54,209 --> 01:04:59,834
We don't. We call ourselves
sisters. Others call us nuns.
767
01:04:59,917 --> 01:05:02,250
In our belief is ...
768
01:05:03,334 --> 01:05:08,084
The most important thing is to organize life
after the lunar cycle and the quarters of the year.
769
01:05:08,167 --> 01:05:12,500
Next, it is about expelling
compassion for others.
770
01:05:12,584 --> 01:05:16,417
Are you trying to say
that Jesus Christ does not exist?
771
01:05:16,500 --> 01:05:19,125
No, just that is not our ...
772
01:05:19,209 --> 01:05:22,750
- Because I'm a pastor.
- Okay, but we won't discuss that.
773
01:05:22,834 --> 01:05:27,375
- We respect your faith ...
- How can you call your sisters?
774
01:05:27,459 --> 01:05:32,375
The definition of a sister is,
that they live and work together.
775
01:05:32,459 --> 01:05:36,917
They pray together and make promises.
We live and work together.
776
01:05:37,042 --> 01:05:40,750
We pray together and make promises.
We do not want to discuss it!
777
01:05:40,834 --> 01:05:43,667
- We're not discussing ...
- Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
778
01:05:43,750 --> 01:05:48,042
- We are not discussing Jesus Christ.
- But, I mean ...
779
01:05:48,125 --> 01:05:51,209
We do not practice religion.
We do not live like Jesus.
780
01:05:51,292 --> 01:05:55,709
We will not discuss it.
It's your discussion, your area.
781
01:05:55,750 --> 01:06:00,917
We are humble women who do
medicine that we share with people.
782
01:06:01,042 --> 01:06:03,459
It was cozy, pastor.
783
01:06:33,709 --> 01:06:39,292
The spiritual element is important.
The soul needs it.
784
01:06:39,375 --> 01:06:44,750
I grew up as a Catholic,
but did not care about the church.
785
01:06:44,792 --> 01:06:47,167
It was the least of it.
786
01:06:47,250 --> 01:06:51,542
I have practiced my own
spiritual rituals from the age of seven.
787
01:06:51,625 --> 01:06:54,417
Our order follows the beginners.
788
01:06:54,500 --> 01:06:59,584
The first nurses on them
European castles in the Middle Ages.
789
01:06:59,667 --> 01:07:04,750
Interestingly, there is a strong one
connection between the faith of the beginning, -
790
01:07:04,792 --> 01:07:08,709
and the beliefs of the indigenous Americans.
791
01:07:11,917 --> 01:07:16,417
We need structure and
tradition in life. And to serve.
792
01:07:17,750 --> 01:07:23,875
The individual freedom prevailed.
We must regain the sense of community.
793
01:07:24,917 --> 01:07:28,000
Sister Kate,
I thank you for all that you do.
794
01:07:28,084 --> 01:07:32,750
The Native Americans have worked
with the cannabis plant for centuries.
795
01:07:33,417 --> 01:07:38,750
David comes to our ceremonies.
We have a special connection.
796
01:07:38,834 --> 01:07:42,042
We share each other's thoughts and words.
797
01:07:42,125 --> 01:07:44,750
There are no differences.
798
01:07:44,834 --> 01:07:47,209
We are the same. We are one people.
799
01:07:52,834 --> 01:07:56,750
They are medical people.
I visit the medicine men.
800
01:07:56,792 --> 01:08:00,375
When I hurt and can't
visit the medical community, -
801
01:08:00,459 --> 01:08:03,875
- I gotta go
the ordinary hospital.
802
01:08:04,750 --> 01:08:07,750
But this is my new hospital.
803
01:08:07,834 --> 01:08:11,500
This is my pharmacy, you can say.
804
01:08:29,584 --> 01:08:35,042
Merced County is very poor,
so a legal cannabis business here
805
01:08:35,125 --> 01:08:39,042
- is a necessity and good,
thanks to the jobs we create.
806
01:08:41,375 --> 01:08:46,417
But there is also a lot of crime.
And addicts taking heroin,
807
01:08:46,500 --> 01:08:49,125
and meth and god know what.
808
01:08:49,875 --> 01:08:53,375
It's not surprising,
that it was just a matter of time,
809
01:08:53,459 --> 01:08:57,250
- before these problems
hit our own family.
810
01:08:59,667 --> 01:09:04,750
When Mother finally settled down and we
didn't have to worry anymore,
811
01:09:04,792 --> 01:09:08,625
-With I parades and broke down.
812
01:09:08,709 --> 01:09:13,375
I was looking for a resort
and began taking drugs.
813
01:09:14,542 --> 01:09:16,417
Do I have to see it again?
814
01:09:18,667 --> 01:09:22,292
I experimented with
a white crystal-like powder.
815
01:09:22,375 --> 01:09:26,542
Mom does this.
I put them here so they can dry.
816
01:09:26,625 --> 01:09:28,792
It made me feel better.
817
01:09:28,875 --> 01:09:32,417
Dry them in the towel,
and then put them in the dish.
818
01:09:32,500 --> 01:09:37,209
When Mother found out it was
methamphetamine, she flipped out.
819
01:09:37,292 --> 01:09:41,792
Alex looked like a 14-year-old.
He went from being well-trained-
820
01:09:41,875 --> 01:09:46,000
- to be a thin,
meth-dependent scarecrow.
821
01:09:46,084 --> 01:09:48,917
Alex, what are you doing?
822
01:09:49,042 --> 01:09:55,292
She asked if I wanted to
rehabilitation. At first it scared me.
823
01:09:55,375 --> 01:10:01,000
For then it felt as if,
that I would never be happy again.
824
01:10:01,084 --> 01:10:03,750
- Are you a sweet boy, Alex?
- Yes.
825
01:10:03,792 --> 01:10:06,792
When? When were you sweet?
826
01:10:07,917 --> 01:10:10,042
Say, "All the time, Dad."
827
01:10:10,125 --> 01:10:16,334
Weaning costs
$ 15,000 for 30 days.
828
01:10:16,417 --> 01:10:21,917
I hadn't talked to his father in
for years. He had health insurance.
829
01:10:22,042 --> 01:10:26,417
Show mother it.
Hold it up so she can see it.
830
01:10:27,292 --> 01:10:31,459
I remember having to
Talk to his father every night.
831
01:10:31,542 --> 01:10:34,750
We had fought
against each other for decades.
832
01:10:34,792 --> 01:10:38,667
But I made him pay
for Alex's detox.
833
01:10:42,500 --> 01:10:48,667
Like all addicts, I bought a big one
bag drug just before I had to leave.
834
01:10:49,750 --> 01:10:52,000
- See what I got!
- What is it?
835
01:10:52,084 --> 01:10:55,459
I tried to take an overdose.
836
01:10:55,542 --> 01:10:59,459
That night, mine began
heart to shut down.
837
01:10:59,542 --> 01:11:02,292
It was slower
and slower.
838
01:11:04,042 --> 01:11:07,084
I made myself sleep ...
839
01:11:07,167 --> 01:11:09,834
... at a high concentration of meth.
840
01:11:12,084 --> 01:11:13,834
You die, quite simply.
841
01:11:16,250 --> 01:11:18,042
What?
842
01:11:20,250 --> 01:11:25,209
I kept myself awake.
The only way to do that -
843
01:11:25,292 --> 01:11:28,000
-Where to stand up the wall.
844
01:11:28,084 --> 01:11:31,667
If I sat here,
I would fall asleep.
845
01:11:33,334 --> 01:11:36,167
Are you beginning to get tired?
846
01:11:36,250 --> 01:11:38,667
That was creepy.
847
01:11:38,750 --> 01:11:42,917
Say, "Give me my bottle, though.
I just want to go to bed. "
848
01:11:44,125 --> 01:11:48,500
Then I smoked at rehab.
And then a release home.
849
01:11:53,167 --> 01:11:56,750
Six days after I got home,
I got a relapse.
850
01:11:56,792 --> 01:12:00,125
My child was really bad.
851
01:12:00,209 --> 01:12:06,417
A friend told that all programs
for meth abusers fail.
852
01:12:06,500 --> 01:12:10,917
She said, "You like that
experiment. Experiment! "
853
01:12:11,042 --> 01:12:13,709
Are you in prison?
What have you done?
854
01:12:13,750 --> 01:12:19,209
So she decided to go
my phone and my car keys-
855
01:12:19,292 --> 01:12:23,000
- and put me in house arrest
For quite some time.
856
01:12:23,084 --> 01:12:27,417
All I got was food,
exercise and grass.
857
01:12:29,709 --> 01:12:32,750
- Unlimited quantities of grass.
- What happened?
858
01:12:33,500 --> 01:12:36,584
It lasted for six months.
859
01:12:36,667 --> 01:12:41,084
Until she was sure
that I could go elsewhere.
860
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,750
When people hear the word "addict",
They think of one who will not be clean.
861
01:12:55,792 --> 01:12:58,292
They do not understand that many of us
862
01:12:58,375 --> 01:13:01,209
- really want to do just that,
But we need help.
863
01:13:01,292 --> 01:13:05,084
If you love your child,
so give him a safe frame,
864
01:13:05,167 --> 01:13:08,125
- and let him work himself
get out of the depression.
865
01:13:08,209 --> 01:13:12,834
It costs $ 20,000 to $ 30,000
for a month's rehab.
866
01:13:12,917 --> 01:13:18,292
But it's worth it, because now I'm clean
and don't spend the money on drugs.
867
01:13:20,125 --> 01:13:26,875
We test a softer line and
experience clear progress with Alex.
868
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,375
My mother saved my life. She was
the only one there for me.
869
01:13:31,459 --> 01:13:36,084
I'm so grateful that I
could enter the compassionate path.
870
01:13:46,542 --> 01:13:50,834
Only a few days after the legalization of
medical marijuana in California, -
871
01:13:50,917 --> 01:13:57,417
- the public prosecutor may have
extinguished the industry flame.
872
01:13:57,500 --> 01:14:01,500
Jeff Sessions canceled
The Obama Administration Law, -
873
01:14:01,584 --> 01:14:05,542
- who protected legalized
marijuana from federal ban.
874
01:14:05,625 --> 01:14:10,625
The federal laws that prohibit
marijuana can now be introduced.
875
01:14:10,709 --> 01:14:15,417
I have given our prosecutors
task to prosecute
876
01:14:15,500 --> 01:14:19,459
-the worst criminals in society.
877
01:14:19,542 --> 01:14:24,292
It's the drug dealers.
Drug dealers, you smoke in prison.
878
01:14:24,375 --> 01:14:29,792
It is quite obvious,
that our government is a joke.
879
01:14:29,875 --> 01:14:34,459
We relate to it because we do not
want them to come stormy-
880
01:14:34,542 --> 01:14:38,209
- and take everything we own.
So we have to respect it.
881
01:14:38,292 --> 01:14:41,334
If the government decides
to shut us down ...
882
01:14:41,417 --> 01:14:46,584
If they decide to ban
industry, it is a disaster.
883
01:14:46,667 --> 01:14:49,542
That may mean the end to us.
884
01:14:49,625 --> 01:14:56,375
According to the government, heroin and
methamphetamine medical justification.
885
01:14:56,459 --> 01:15:02,542
The government perceives marijuana
as being more harmful.
886
01:15:02,625 --> 01:15:06,834
But the number that dies of one
marijuana overdose, is zero.
887
01:15:06,917 --> 01:15:11,709
It has always been like that. Should
heroin and methamphetamine be okay, -
888
01:15:11,750 --> 01:15:15,250
- When marijuana is not?
What is it based on?
889
01:15:15,334 --> 01:15:20,500
A genuine, analytical assessment
of the harmful effect? No.
890
01:15:23,167 --> 01:15:29,834
We want better control of the marijuana,
here in the state, if it gets legal, -
891
01:15:29,917 --> 01:15:35,875
- than we have had for decades as a result
the failure of the courts.
892
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,834
It's the police.
We have a search warrant!
893
01:15:39,917 --> 01:15:45,834
Many think they know the answer. "Do
it legal and the problem disappears. "
894
01:15:45,917 --> 01:15:49,250
But the problem will still be there.
895
01:15:49,334 --> 01:15:52,917
It is by its very nature.
It's so lucrative.
896
01:15:53,042 --> 01:15:57,542
It requires almost no one
investment to grow it.
897
01:15:57,625 --> 01:16:02,750
When you can go from that to
to harvest in 90 days ...
898
01:16:03,834 --> 01:16:05,584
... it will be a lot of grass.
899
01:16:05,667 --> 01:16:07,917
I'm worried about all of us.
900
01:16:08,042 --> 01:16:10,792
It is at this time of year,
that people come creeping.
901
01:16:10,875 --> 01:16:13,500
We are quite vulnerable right now.
902
01:16:13,584 --> 01:16:19,750
Either one is robbed by twenty,
or also the police.
903
01:16:19,834 --> 01:16:24,334
If they come and you don't have
a permit, then you are in trouble.
904
01:16:26,459 --> 01:16:31,125
I'm afraid of the sheriff and the police.
If they come, they'll take it all.
905
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:41,417
Free path.
906
01:16:42,750 --> 01:16:44,542
The year is lost.
907
01:16:44,625 --> 01:16:48,500
All year, as you have
worked hard for. Away.
908
01:16:48,584 --> 01:16:53,125
There is no one here.
They can be in the middle of a shift.
909
01:16:53,209 --> 01:16:57,625
Maybe they come and look at it
every other day or something.
910
01:17:00,292 --> 01:17:02,667
It's the end product.
911
01:17:02,750 --> 01:17:07,750
It's good quality. You can see
THC here in crystallized form.
912
01:17:07,792 --> 01:17:10,834
It's purple-like.
913
01:17:13,542 --> 01:17:18,250
The house here may well produce grass
a value of 1.5 million a year.
914
01:17:18,334 --> 01:17:21,209
Illegal.
By harvesting every two months.
915
01:17:24,709 --> 01:17:28,125
Can it happen to Sister Kate?
Can they do a search there?
916
01:17:28,209 --> 01:17:31,084
Yes, it can easily happen to her.
917
01:17:31,167 --> 01:17:36,000
I can't see why sister
Kate should be exempt.
918
01:17:36,084 --> 01:17:40,125
It would be an interesting case
if they made a raid on her.
919
01:17:40,209 --> 01:17:43,750
Maybe that's what it takes
to shed light on the case
920
01:17:43,792 --> 01:17:47,250
-and start a process ...
921
01:17:47,334 --> 01:17:51,125
... about what it takes to
legislate on the differences.
922
01:17:51,209 --> 01:17:53,459
And get it defined in the law.
923
01:17:53,542 --> 01:17:59,459
The sheriff says we introduce grass
with a lot of THC and lying about it.
924
01:17:59,542 --> 01:18:02,375
I'll show you what we're going through.
925
01:18:02,459 --> 01:18:05,417
Here are test results from SC Labs.
926
01:18:05,500 --> 01:18:11,125
If anyone had been crooked by ours
products, we had been shut down.
927
01:18:11,209 --> 01:18:14,292
People need to know
that they exist here.
928
01:18:14,375 --> 01:18:17,584
- I'm just copying them.
- Okay.
929
01:18:17,667 --> 01:18:20,709
- Okay.
- I'll show them to the sheriff.
930
01:18:20,750 --> 01:18:26,375
- Thanks. Well, somebody is sensible.
- He's one of the skeptics.
931
01:18:28,542 --> 01:18:33,334
I wanted as much CBD as
possible to as many as possible.
932
01:18:33,417 --> 01:18:38,667
So we hired Will to
obtain our permission.
933
01:18:38,750 --> 01:18:42,292
WILL SKAARUP
lobbyist
934
01:18:43,417 --> 01:18:47,834
Sometimes you have to fight fire
with fire. We hired a lobbyist, -
935
01:18:47,917 --> 01:18:50,167
-for we have too much to lose.
936
01:18:50,250 --> 01:18:54,209
We met with locals
officials on her behalf.
937
01:18:54,292 --> 01:18:57,500
We wish,
agreeing to a pilot program, -
938
01:18:57,584 --> 01:19:03,417
- that is only about
non-psychotic CBD cultivation.
939
01:19:03,500 --> 01:19:08,125
We have learned to create marijuana plants
with a high THC content
940
01:19:08,209 --> 01:19:13,250
- or high CBD content and little
THC, which does not make people crooked.
941
01:19:13,334 --> 01:19:19,292
It is non-psychoactive medicine
for people with severe diseases.
942
01:19:19,375 --> 01:19:23,667
We are in dialogue with five seniors
officials to change the law.
943
01:19:25,542 --> 01:19:30,709
To hire an official to handle
officials are a bit unorthodox.
944
01:19:43,209 --> 01:19:48,417
The public now has the right to comment
themselves. Maximum three minutes per person.
945
01:19:49,084 --> 01:19:55,167
I'm talking to the Sisters of the Valley there
produces non-psychoactive marijuana.
946
01:19:55,250 --> 01:19:59,667
A pilot program would give you
a unique opportunity to supervise
947
01:19:59,750 --> 01:20:02,417
- with a development project,
which can lead to conditional use.
948
01:20:02,500 --> 01:20:08,042
We are like an open book. Adjust us,
tax us. Thank you for your time.
949
01:20:10,375 --> 01:20:11,875
Next.
950
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:17,250
LABOR WORK GIVEN THE WORDS
ADVENTURE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
951
01:20:17,334 --> 01:20:21,250
You speak and Freya speak.
I have a...
952
01:20:21,334 --> 01:20:26,042
An old native told me
four years ago when I started:
953
01:20:26,125 --> 01:20:29,125
"You have understood the power of the words.
954
01:20:29,209 --> 01:20:32,500
But you have not yet
understood the power of silence. "
955
01:20:32,584 --> 01:20:37,542
So I go in there and am quiet.
You're my one weapon.
956
01:20:37,625 --> 01:20:41,834
You become my logical weapon.
Freya becomes the weapon of emotion.
957
01:20:41,917 --> 01:20:46,459
I'm going to sit there
and keep mouth for two hours.
958
01:20:46,542 --> 01:20:49,917
- You won't do it enough.
- Which is not easy for me.
959
01:20:50,042 --> 01:20:54,542
Our company would probably stay
valued at $ 5 million today.
960
01:20:54,625 --> 01:20:56,834
We have five million to lose.
961
01:20:56,917 --> 01:21:01,084
We have something to lose
So we go up the rules.
962
01:21:01,167 --> 01:21:06,250
I don't think she gets the license.
It would open the door to others
963
01:21:06,334 --> 01:21:09,042
-to import marijuana.
964
01:21:09,125 --> 01:21:12,042
I don't think she's getting a permit.
965
01:21:12,125 --> 01:21:17,209
If we get a no, it looks bad.
Then we must ... close.
966
01:21:19,250 --> 01:21:21,417
It's a mess.
967
01:21:25,250 --> 01:21:29,875
We will try to fight for it
the rules for obtaining the permit.
968
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,750
If she gets the permission,
sees her future bright.
969
01:21:41,834 --> 01:21:47,250
OUR CAMERA WAS NOT TO DO
GET ACCESS TO THE MEETING
970
01:22:06,209 --> 01:22:09,584
- You were incredibly calm and nice.
- Thanks.
971
01:22:09,667 --> 01:22:14,209
You're good at your work because it was
not the meeting I was expecting.
972
01:22:14,292 --> 01:22:18,209
Did you?
It was all the adults.
973
01:22:22,917 --> 01:22:28,000
They wanted to tell you they were thinking
to allow THC supplies in Merced.
974
01:22:28,084 --> 01:22:32,917
Surprisingly, everyone had
accustomed to growing hemp.
975
01:22:33,042 --> 01:22:36,625
And they decided
that it should be legal.
976
01:22:36,709 --> 01:22:40,375
It was good,
that I didn't say so much.
977
01:22:46,625 --> 01:22:50,750
Keep on the hat, girls!
Jamie presses the nail at the bottom.
978
01:22:50,792 --> 01:22:56,417
She raised her children here
and want to create jobs in our county, -
979
01:22:56,500 --> 01:22:58,459
- which is so incredibly poor.
980
01:22:58,542 --> 01:23:03,125
The future of the cannabis here
in the state looks pretty bright.
981
01:23:09,500 --> 01:23:13,375
If we really want to
affect distribution,
982
01:23:13,459 --> 01:23:18,584
- we need our products in
all the shops and pharmacies in the world.
983
01:23:20,417 --> 01:23:23,167
People are interested
Sisters of the Valley.
984
01:23:23,250 --> 01:23:26,875
Lots of people
would like to talk to us.
985
01:23:27,750 --> 01:23:32,250
I'm so nervous. I have
looked forward to this so long!
986
01:23:32,334 --> 01:23:35,417
They call themselves Sisters of the Valley.
987
01:23:35,500 --> 01:23:38,750
- Sisters of the Valley.
- They grow marijuana.
988
01:23:38,792 --> 01:23:41,542
They help people who have pain.
989
01:23:41,625 --> 01:23:47,167
Our order requires that we learn
people about CBD and cannabis.
990
01:23:47,250 --> 01:23:52,834
It brings money and jobs
to Central California.
991
01:24:00,417 --> 01:24:04,000
If I didn't
been completely broken.
992
01:24:04,084 --> 01:24:09,792
Without a place to go.
With all my life at stake.
993
01:24:09,875 --> 01:24:12,667
Then I might not have had the courage.
994
01:24:18,625 --> 01:24:23,667
When people lose everything they own and
have, then you have to be afraid.
995
01:24:23,750 --> 01:24:26,334
For they do radical things.
996
01:24:37,917 --> 01:24:40,250
It is an ancient tradition ...
997
01:24:41,250 --> 01:24:45,625
... that if something dramatic happens
life, then you take a new name.
998
01:24:47,125 --> 01:24:52,834
Many other sisters think about the idea
about choosing a new name and a new life.
999
01:24:54,625 --> 01:24:58,250
Christine is the woman,
as the family did.
1000
01:24:59,334 --> 01:25:02,334
But Kate ... don't go to Kate.
