From director Kevin Booth comes a riveting follow up to Showtime’s 2008 “American Drug War: The Last White Hope.” In ADW 2: Cannabis Destiny, we meet the Hyde family.

My goals in doing this interview…
- To raise awareness for “AMERICAN DRUG WAR 2: Cannabis Destiny” which will premiere in theaters on June 6.
The theatrical distribution of ADW2 is being handled by a new company out of Austin TX called TUGG.com using a new concept known as “Theaters on Demand”
To ensure each event happens, each theater must pre-sell approximately 50+ tickets to cover the cost of the theater rental. The producers are confident you will pre-buy your tickets ASAP – before May 30th so that the threshold is met. (Tickets are on average $10)
[In the event the threshold is not met your credit card will not be charged.]
Head members of several anti drug war groups working to end the criminal prosecution of marijuana have already come on board to support the film and hope you will attend as there is strength in numbers.
The film starts a major Video on Demand run right after June 6th. The better the film does at these small screenings, the more resources will be put towards promoting it to millions of cable subscribers through Gravitas aided by Warner Brothers. This premier is a new model of distribution that works as a force multiplier to put the message of legalization into millions of homes around the globe.
