“There’s no reason to be driving up here except if I had a big backpack full of money,” musician and filmmaker Adam Ross tells us in Cash Crop. His documentary, winner of the High Times World Marijuana Film Festival, is a reefer road trip through the Emerald Triangle, a region in California where medicinal marijuana is grown in pungent abundance.

Undercover for a year and a half to explore America’s number one cash harvest, Ross talks entrepreneurship, freedom, and greed with growers while exploring how locoweed legalization could rejuvenate the economy.
