Discovery Weed Shows: 'Pot Cops,' 'Weed Country' Examine Marijuana

NEW YORK — Cupcake makers, pawnbrokers and storage container raiders have all had their moments in reality television's spotlight. Now the time may be right for marijuana growers – and the people who chase them.
The Discovery network debuts a six-episode series, "Weed Country," at 10 p.m. Wednesday and will replace it with "Pot Cops" in April. Both examine the marijuana trade in northern California.
It fits Discovery's efforts to introduce interesting subcultures to viewers, said Nancy Daniels, the network's executive vice president for production and development on the West Coast. Discovery tried a series about a medical marijuana dispensary in Oakland two years ago, "Weed Wars," and is sticking with dope even though the show didn't do very well in the ratings.
"We still think it's an interesting world and maybe we didn't tap into the right part of it," Daniels said.
Based on its first episode, "Weed Country" is a nuanced effort at giving equal time to both sides of the issue. Producers find colorful growers who use science to make the best product possible. They don't believe what they are doing is wrong. "We're flying the flag of civil disobedience," one grower said.

Stupid fucking pigs... They should feel like the scum of the earth knowing that some good man is probably suffering behind bars with killers as company. Congrats Pigs..

If you were sane and smoked cannabis, those who wish to promote your primitive animalistic and hormonal imbalance may choose to do so by torture. Let`s not forget, most psychos are military trained, most potheads are peaceful and enjoy reading more than militaristic psychos.

Which path would you rather follow?



Those guys act as if they are sitting on a 'pot' of gold. It`s just a fucking plant... get over it.... tax it.... have 1 in every garden, who fucking cares.... they will lose interest after a while if its legal. Only the people who could really use it will take advantage of it`s medical value. Think about this Mpd, they probably just ruined the last few days/weeks of a cancer patients life. Of course they might have stopped the kid from mowing 20 lawns for 20$ so he could try a bag of grass with his buddies. Stupid fucking people...

Fuck giving credence, ratings, endorsements, endowments, bonus checks, etc. to pigs who are employed for the sole purpose of busting PEOPLE for using/cultivating/living CANNABIS.

DVR set? The shackles must not have broken skin yet.

When's a "seedbomb" fund going to be established? The next time one of these Wall St. (pawn)brokers knows it's all about to be over, instead of jumping he should at least hire out a few planes/drones to make cross country runs.

bump for a reminder. this starts in a several hours.

i am not living in a med or legal state so ANY and ALL exposure is good for the masses of those states.

the more the masses are exposed to it, the more they will accept it.

 

[igrowone]

watching it now, i'd call it very good
notch above other shows i've seen

 

[GP73LPC]

yup, much better than weed wars.

the growers, dispensary owners, etc... on this show portray weed people in a much better light than did weed wars.

i enjoyed it

 

[burns1n209]

Wasnt to bad, other then the fucking commercials, 5 mins air time, 7 min commerical for an hour long. But I look forward to seeing next weeks show and seeing where this goes.

 

[GP73LPC]

the cops on the show are cocksuckers, but that's nothing new.

retards acting like they are saving the country from demise.

I never have much time for television but at night if I can't sleep the one thing that works is tv.

What I do is look in the future on my favorite channels and record everything remotely interesting. Then when I have time to watch at my convenience I can play back and skip all the commercials.

I like watching cop shows to see these nerds brag about how they catch people. It is a learning tool for me.

I hate how cops come on with their ridiculous rhetoric about the harm caused by marijuana. His business is busting marijuana and he approaches it that way. Trying to change minds with his bent propaganda.

 

[igrowone]

some of the cop rhetoric here was over the top, that one dump fuck was full of them
i liked how he stated how MJ was taking over the streets
yeah, pushing out the safe stuff like meth, crack, and oxy's

 

[GP73LPC]

i look forward to next week, this is indeed a step above weed wars (where the stoners were not that well represented IMHO.

there are a shitload of us professionals out there that partake, pay our bills, speak intelligently and don't wear dresses

not that i have a problem with the dress, but our conservative society does.

 

[sneaky_g]

Fuck cops pretend to be public servants.. What a joke. The only thing they serve is their selves and their families. Thats any person's priority in the real scheme of things.. Human nature.


PENSIONS make me SICK.....

who cares about national security when people can confuse with job security. What is so civil about war, anyway?
