Synopsis

Marijuana legalization is unfolding across the American West, but cultivation of the cannabis plant is anything but green--unregulated outdoor grows are polluting ecosystems, high-powered indoor grows are churning out an excessive carbon footprint, and the controversial crop is becoming an agricultural boon just as the region faces an unprecedented water crisis. Grass Roots looks at the history of marijuana growing in the American West, from Mexican American growers on sugar beet farms to today's sophisticated greenhouse gardens.
