THE NAKED QUEEN

The Naked Queen is a cultural critique of the mythic foundations of
the war on drugs which has in essence become a war on cannabis.
Starting with the ancient history of cannabis and leading to the
extremism of U.S. federal policy with regard to this enigmatic plant,
this feature documentary strips away the propagandist illusions about
cannabis with its "roots in hell", unveiling the hypocrisy of this
entrenched policy.
