Cannabis sets you free is a documentary essay with its main narrative thread following the story of particular people around the world who have turned their lives into a battle for the legalization of cannabis. Some were prosecuted but all first came into contact with cannabis because of their need to cure themselves or others. But then it took over their lives, became their purpose, and pushed them on the path of their personal cannabis revolution. The main protagonist of the film is Janko Pirc, a tragicomical cannabis revolutionary from the ex-Yugoslav region, where private growers and manufacturers are still sentenced to prison for 1-10 years. From a humorous distance, narrated by Frank Zappa look-alike, ex-Yugoslav rock philosopher RAMBO AMADEUS, the documentary also takes a look at the cannabis industry now being entered by politics, the pharmaceutical industry, and capital due to astronomical profits that lie ahead.
