Title: 

Special D.C. screening of medical marijuana documentary, Code of the West

Message: 

If you're in the Washington D.C. area, you’ll have an opportunity to catch the new release premiere of Code of the West, a documentary exploring the state of medical marijuana in Montana, this Saturday.

Set against the sweeping vistas of the Rockies, the steamy lamplights of marijuana grow houses, and the bustling halls of the State Capitol, Code of the West follows the 2011 Montana State Legislature as it debates the fate of medical marijuana. Once a pioneer in legalizing medical marijuana, Montana considers becoming the first state in the nation to repeal its medical marijuana law. Code of the West tells the story of both the legislative process and the human lives and emotions behind it.

What: Code of the West new release premiere, including updates about the main characters' lives, following the DEA raids and indictments

Where: West End Cinema, 2301 M Street NW Washington, D.C. 20037

When: Saturday, April 20 at 4:20 p.m. Co-presented with Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) and the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). Includes a Q&A with Leigh Maddox, Esq., LEAP Speaker/Maryland State Police Captain and Robert Capecchi, Deputy Director of State Policies, MPP.
