Tom Weinberg; Exec Producer, Joel Cohen; ProducerThe 90's Episode #203: The Hemp Tapes - Dead Are Not Dead (1990)

Excerpts from the award-winning series The 90's, including: "Dead are not Dead", "Johnny Marijuanaseed", "Gatewood Galbraith", "Don't go in the basement", "Zero Tolerance", "Surveillance in L.A."

1) "Dead Are Not Dead" by Judith Binder. A Venice Beach musician sings: Our spirit lives on and on, in the trees, in the water, in the fire thats dying.

2) More from "Johnny Marijuanaseed". Johnny tells us that no other plant has as many byproducts as hemp and is as good for the environment. You can make fabric from it, you can make paper from it, you can make gas and electricity. Its organically grown... it could replace fossil fuels.

3) More from Gatewood Galbraith, smoking marijuana as he speaks: The problem is that the pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries control this country. Hemp is the greatest product. Hemp IS petroleum. Its no coincidence that in 1937 when hemp was outlawed, nylon was patented. The true battle on this planet today is between the naturals and the synthetics.

4) "Don't Go in the Basement" by Sally Cruickshank. An animated music video.

5) Tony Serra commentary by Jesse Drew. Serra, a civil rights lawyer, talks about the legalization of marijuana: The truth is that marijuana is more benign than alcohol and tobacco put together. Marijuana should be legalized. There is no nexus, no stepping stone between marijuana and shooting heroin. Total prohibition has created the drug problem.

6) "Surveillance in Los Angeles" by Aron Ranen. A documentary about the various forms of surveillance in and around L.A.
