Tricky Bidness
Intelligent and engaging, the documentary 'Tricky Bidness' tells the story of how the politically progressive town of Arcata, California has grappled with the ongoing challenge of marijuana grow houses in its neighborhoods. Community members provide surprisingly candid and thoughtful analysis of the situation as the town finds itself as a hub of the marijuana black market. In 1996, Arcatans overwhelmingly supported California's Compassionate Use Act, which 'legalized' medical marijuana law...but abuses of the law, combined with the ongoing seventy-five year old prohibition of cannabis, continue to leave Arcata and other communities like it in a legal gray zone. What people from the little city of Arcata can tell you about living with marijuana might change what you think about pot... and how you vote.
