Marijuana is also known as weed or herb by most Jamaicans and, contrary to what many outsiders believe, its use is illegal on the island. In fact, Jamaica's legal history is rife with cases of arrests linked with the plant. A number of individual shave been advocating for this to change for the last few years. Members of the Rastafarian faith have always been front-runners in this cause since the plant is central to their religious practices.

The film's format is that of a realistic documentary and its format is designed to mirror the plant's diverse nature. It comprises snippets of humor and real life interviews gathering the thoughts of laymen as well as renowned scientists. Economists are also allowed the opportunity to share their opinions on the financial gains that the island stands to gain from capitalizing on the plant.

This makes it easy for anyone who wants to use it at a group meeting or promotional event to use it. Those who wish to use it for educational purposes may also do so by using the DVD format.

The film's goal is to promote the plant and move the island one step closer to the realization of Dr. Campbell's dream revolution. Dr. Campbell envisions the day when Jamaican society has been so revolutionized that the plant is freely grown and used everywhere. This is of course dependent on the removal of social and legal restrictions that currently inhibit its use.
