Description of mini doc:

This documentary uncovers the hidden flaws in Illinois' cannabis policy, detailing how initial excitement for legalization turned into a complex web of criminal penalties and inequities. Through in-depth analysis and interviews, this mini doc reveals how promises of reform were overshadowed by political interests and limited access, leaving many residents still facing criminal consequences for cannabis in a state where it’s supposedly legal.
