The woman in this video is Jacqueline Patterson, and she's one of the features subjects in a new Showtime documentary, In Pot We Trust.

Before I watched this documentary, I often spoke of my astonishment that weed is illegal. It's the only illegal drug that you can't overdose on, and that alone made up my mind, in terms of casual conversation. In Pot We Trust discusses medical marijuana in particular. The story of Jacqueline Patterson alone has firmly convinced me that medical marijuana should be legal. It's an astounding documentary, and I highly recommend it.

Note: I currently do not smoke pot, and I'm pretty confident I won't smoke it in the future. I'm not plugging this film in the hopes that I'll be able to get sweet kush delivered with my pizza. I still think everyone should be able to smoke it if they wish.
