Nate Norman (Jonathan Daniel Brown) is a drop out pizza delivery boy in northern Idaho. He helps out his single mom who struggles as a waitress. As an avid reader of High Times, he knows he can score great pot in Canada and utilize the easy walk across the border to transport it into Idaho. He manages to get a financial backer (Ron Perlman) and assembles a team of his high school buds...pun intended.

Unfortunately Nate is an amateur at the game. He steps on the toes of his competitor, flaunts his wealth, and has an inner circle with no loyalty.

The film is based on a true story, one without a financial backer. Norman claims he simply expanded the business with the profits from the previous crossing. The movie has the look and feel of a teen sex romp with all the women in northern Idaho being tens.

Other than being based on a true story, there is really nothing to separate it from the pack.

Okay s a rental.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity including male frontal.

Movies based on a true story always have more of my attention then others. And when they are well made like this one then you can't go wrong watching it. The story of a couple of potheads trying to make money by importing top of the league marijuana from Canada to the United States. An easy but also dangerous way of getting rich in no time. They should stop when they had enough but once you get so much money you only want more. It makes you wonder why the government doesn't just legalize the whole thing and make a sh*tload of money out of it. Plus it's just weed, nothing bad at all about that, not like alcohol that destroys more lives then you could imagine. Anyways, I enjoyed the whole movie, all actors were good and the story was good as well. I recommend it!

Kid Cannabis is loosely based on the true tale of Nate Norman (Jonathan Daniel Brown) as a chubby high school dropout and pizza delivery boy who with his best stoner buddy Topher (Kenny Wormald) and gang of potheads started a marijuana smuggling operation from Canada, cock a snook to an arrogant rival and soon build a multi million dollar business which leads to debauchery and partying too hard.

Like an even more nerdy version of Blow with ineptness such as the boys getting searched each time they try to get into Canada or getting lost as they try to trek through the woods to get back over the border with their illicit goods.

Things get darker as the excesses take their toll, the police home in on them and the loyalties of the gang are tested.

This is a low budget film which works better as a dark comedy with notable supporting performances by Ron Perlman and John C McGinley. It is just too convenient that they find an extraordinary weed grower in Canada and a special buyer in the USA.
