He grew up in a multi -ethnic family in New York City, Rosario Dawson He had a unique direct perspective on how Hashish It is used as a tool for racism.
As an executive and narrated product Kiss my grassA short documentary film that was shown last week in Trebika Film FestivalTo explore the basic roots of racial injustice and inequality in the area of cannabis, the actress opened the deadline on how to see the war on drugs “destroying the entire societies” made them want to participate in the project.
“I grew up around a lot of tapes, including my father. It has always been something,” she said. “My father was a white man and could grow in getting rid of the fire. My mom was like,” well, this is crazy, you can’t do it with children. ”
Dawson continued, “But he just grew up in Texas, and a kind of doing what he wanted, and he was always acting in this way. I understood that, and so did my mother, and so did the rest in society, and that this was a luxury and privilege he had done in drugs, and that he had no other personal experiences, except through his friends, individuals and individuals.
Dawson explained that her father was part of the indigenous population, “He felt his right, it was a natural thing.”
“It was incredible on that trip with him, from watching him when I was a child.” “The feeling that he was lucky to be in California when he was cancer, and that he could speak to his doctor and get out of six different drugs they wanted to put on him, and that he could use weeds for his tyranny and his pain, for his sleep, and that this conversation directly with his doctor and seeing this transformation.”
It was equally a personal experience of Marie Briur, who participated in directing DOC alongside Mara WhiteHead, as well as working as a subject as a co -founder of the founder of Sheba, Baby! And CMO from Tricolla farms.
“We only enter into weeds, including the marginalized triple in this space, with chronic healthy elements, being black, being a woman, and comes from the grandchildren of drug war,” explained by Briur. “Because my father was affected by the war on drugs, I only felt and saw inequality in several different ways.”
Prior wanted to reveal a “uncomfortable, deeper fact” about the government’s mentality about hashish and the conflicts of those trying to “correct the errors of the drug war.”
“This issue affects everyone, and therefore the decision is collectively as managers in this, with Mara, not only for black women who say what is happening, but you have eggs and Latina people and a different walking for life confirms that this is not just an isolated accident,” he added.

Whitheid, who has a background in the novel that relies on influence, admitted that she “did not understand the nuances” of ethnic inequality in hashish as a white woman who grew up in Colorado, but “shook her essence” after meeting the women concerned.
“Because I think a lot of this happens in the dark,” Whitheid explained. “When Mary invited me to this field, I think the film industry was really a process of detection and fragmentation for me in terms of what this story really required.”
Meeting with other black women in hashish, Bruri felt a “shocking” feeling of listening to their stories. She said: “Everyone is already dealing with inequality in existence. We have to grow together in order to pay and rely on the truth in order to reach the other side, which is related to better work and treatment of people with humanity.”
Dawson praised the “courage and courage” women who participated in their experiences in the documentary, as well as Breure, to continue educating people and “directing this project long before the formation of the entire project or removing it.”
Dawson added: “It was risky, and the fact that these women were putting everything at stake and that the risk of all of this was very strong for me, because in the end, it is not only about their individual stories.” “Many of them, it comes to what Mary does, raise all these boats with this tide, and I really appreciate it.”
