As marijuana shows promising results in treating a growing number of illnesses the demand for high quality weed continues to grow. Marijuana is now the fastest growing commercial industry in the North America. Legalization is expected to add up $22.6 Billion a year to the Canadian economy. As with most new growth industries, everyone is trying to get in on the action.
High Hopes delves into the evolving climate surrounding marijuana in Maritime Canada. The film follows the stories of activists, consumers and entrepreneurs as they attempt to carve out a place for themselves in the new marijuana frontier.
