Guns and Weed: The Road to Freedom (2011) User Reviews

Provides Insight Into Why Both are Important to Freedom

[bayridgecommunity · 10/10 · 23 March 2011]

This movie provides information on the importance of freedom and how current laws and policies are detrimental to freedom and well-being. If the gun rights people and those for the end of the drug war joined forces against current laws they would be a powerful force for positive change. The end of the drug war would be a boost to our economy in that the money used to fight this never ending war could be used for good. The prison population would decrease, people with drug problems would be more apt to seek help, and people would be secure in knowing they can protect themselves and their families if threatened. This movie is both informative and entertaining.

Great message, but too incoherent

[anders-n-aa-larsson · 5/10 · 6 June 2020]

This movie has a great freedom message, but unfortunately it never really come across because of the incoherent and non-structured heap of comedy skits and music performances it's buried under.

The men behind this film Michael W. Dean and Neema Vedadi, were called the libertarian equivalent of Beavis and Butt-Head, because their radio show Freedom Feens, were just as messy.

A Great Introduction

[recycler4570 · 10/10 · 28 January 2013]

This movie is a great introduction to the concept of true property rights, most basic being the idea that each individual owns their own body. With self ownership also comes the responsibility for self protection so if the government does not allow freedom to put whatever you want into yourself or the freedom to own tools for self defense you are not free at all. This movie explains this concept in a way that many people who would never read most libertarian authors will easily grasp. While I'm not much of a fan of punk or rap the music in this movie is a great way to express the ideas to very wide audience, a bit like Schoolhouse Rock for liberty people.
