"Weed Wars fearlessly pulls back the curtain on a once illegal and still controversial world," said Nancy Daniels, executive VP at Discovery Channel. "From the inner workings of the business to Steve's distinctive leadership style, "Weed Wars" is a fascinating glimpse into this highly unique setting. Like Gold Rush or Deadliest Catch, these are guys pursuing their own version of the American Dream."

Harborside's Alternative 4/20 Celebration

April 20th, known within the Cannabis community simply as "4/20" has been the unofficial international weed holiday for over 30 years - and it's also Harborside Health Center's busiest sales day of the year. As much as Steve DeAngelo loves 4/20 as a day of celebration and booming business, he fears that widespread images of tie-dyed hippies smoking 6 foot joints ultimately damages the credibility of their "medical movement" with the public at large. This year, only three days after 4/20, Harborside Health Center is launching "Deep Green", a festival aimed at characterizing Marijuana not as an intoxicant, but as an aid to wellness. Will their festival dramatically re-brand the public's image of the plant, or simply attract the same old stoners?
