The Movement: We are at the tipping point of changing the perception of marijuana as an illegal drug. To stop being known as a narcotic and start being known as a medicine. We are taking the leading edge doctors/researchers and the scientifically proven facts that exist RIGHT NOW, and presenting them clearly and simply to create an understanding so that anyone can make a new decision grounded in logic and science. 

Our Mission: To provide safe and easy access to proven information regarding medicinal cannabis. So we've decided to make the most credible, scientifically backed medicinal cannabis documentary to date.

The Film:  To create The Science of Weed we will be traveling to strategic places in the world to highlight the most comprehensive research from top doctors into one feature length documentary film. We’ll be highlighting studies on how cannabis helps patients with cancer, glaucoma, epilepsy, aids, multiple sclerosis, chronic and severe pain, migraines and many other debilitating diseases.

The Purpose: Regardless of what side of the fence you're on, either for or against marijuana, people should have access to the unbiased scientific facts.  Science that’s untainted so we can all make intelligent, informed decisions for ourselves and our loved ones.

Project Update: 3/4 of Funding for Film Production Secured. Still Need at least $50K

As of Saturday, March 1st through generous contributions the project raised over $150,000 (outside of Indigogo) in the first 5 hours of it’s launch! With this backing we now have secured 3/4 of the funding needed for this documentary project.We still need $50,000 more for distribution and marketing. 

Once produced we want to get this powerful information in front of 20 million eyeballs! And we need your help to do it...


We are creating a new film synthesizing research and findings from over 22 of the top researchers from around the globe to make the most comprehensive documentary about medicinal cannabis to date. This film will have the power to change the face of disease on this planet.

Our goal is to educate the public on the science of weed so that it acts as a tipping point to move people beyond propaganda and into an age of fact based medicine.

Back in 2010, we produced our first documentary about cannabis called...

What we did: It was a small independent documentary outlining the scientifically proven effects of medical marijuana.  Yet it had a profound impact felt across the globe.  "Medicinal Cannabis and It's Impact on Human Health" would find itself viewed over a million times in over 170 countries. That was with zero marketing.  With your help we can reach a viewership in excess of 20 Million People. Think of the impact and lives we can change together!


What we believe: Together, we have the power to help change not just minds, but the law of the land regarding cannabis. As well as ending the longstanding negative propaganda that exist against this plant so that we can make this medicine even more accessible to everyone.

It's our goal to put the truth and real facts in the hands of those who NEED this medicine, so they can make informed decisions about utilizing cannabis as an effective treatment method for...

  • Pain
  • Epilepsy (seizures)
  • Muscle Tension
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Nausea
  • Cancer
  • Anorexia
  • Insomnia
  • PTSD
  • Crohn's & Colitis
