Baked Alaska (Documentary)
It all started with “…f#ck it I quit.”
Never thought a weed head would say that, did ya? Hahaaa! True, Charlo Greene did not quit her relationship with Mary Jane. In fact, she started (actually, kicked into overdrive) a public debate/campaign for Alaska’s legalization of marijuana. She had to quit her job as a television reporter to do it…
…or did she? Her quitting was a media and viral video score for her cause (good PR strategy).
On November 4, 2014, the state of Alaska was faced with a ballot measure to potentially make recreational marijuana legal. In this episode of Weediquette, we follow democracy in action through the eyes of Charlo Greene.
Greene became the firebrand folk hero of the “Yes on 2” movement after she famously quit her job as a news reporter on the air to run a cannabis club. VICE travels to Alaska to follow Charlo, and along the way we meet a cast of Alaskan natives who all have something at stake in this election.

The ‘Willy Wonka’ Of Weed (Documentary)
“Anybody can make a ‘pot brownie’…”
– Tripp Keber
The National Geographic channel brings us a different kind of eye candy… for all you tokers’ taste buds. Legal weed is a coming business reality y’all. Bet on it. Pot entrepreneur Tripp Keber is. He creates pot-infused candy, sodas and other potent edibles in Colorado – since it’s been legalized in the state. He’s been dubbed ‘The Willy Wonka of Weed.’ (like “Willy Wonka” ain’t a ‘weed movie’ already). Watch Keber trying to give us a different way for folks to get a ‘mile high’ in the state of Colorado mind. Check out the Nat Geo clip above.
