yeah it is somewhat instructional to show what a guerilla grow looks like but it does not go into intricate details on the grows.

Thats because he is including all that in the dvd release to give the full lay
down of his setup..... the internet clips are just promotional teasers to give a us a sense of how the dvd will be. off course he is not gonna give the the type of strains and stuff like that it would defeat the purpose of his dvd.Until the internet fight he would reply to our comments and questions as long as he was not giving away main elements to the dvd.i think him and every member on RIU deserves respect... many threads on RIU are far more useless then this could ever be and thats because people speak before they read. BDW stated what he would and would not answer so if your question did not get a answer then he may have missed it or would not answer due the the above. :blsmoke:

I've been doing a lot of thinking. I know it makes no real difference whether of not I come in here -- people can just visit my channel. But it's not really fair for the people who like rollitup and have enjoyed my thread.

It makes a difference to me weather you come here & im sure it makes a difference to many others that your here,were glad your here & happy to watch your vids & to be able to pm you.And for the guys who say he dont answer pm's he's responded to both my pm's.

As for you having a motive to come here i could not care less what (if any) motive you have,we all have our own motives for being here,including the moderators of this site,they have motives also,still who gives a shit about motive,i dont,i care about the end result.

Im just happy to see some hard core grow videos from anybody who's kickin ass & growing a shitload of pot,after all that IS why were all here.

Im glad you came back.

Your agenda is to get the laws changed? A very good cause, to be sure, but how is making this movie, or starting this thread, going to accomplish that?

now this is the kind of thought provoking exchange I like to have. It speaks directly to the material....

How does can it change things?

Awareness. The world of ideas. debate. I want to provoke thought. Change the mindset. I'm not a pothead. I don't represent the cliche. I respresent the common man who wants the freedom to choose. Art has power. good art can transform. My drive is to mainstream what we do through pop culture referrences. I want this to cross over. I want people to watch it and change the way they think about pot and our civil liberties. This is about our rights as individuals. Marijuana is the backdrop, the stage on which it plays itself out. The herb is emblematic

OK, I feel ya man. As a free lance writer, the general thrust of your argument regarding the power of art definitely strikes a chord with me. I'm just a little bit skeptical of how effective it would be, though.

I mean, consider this - the people you're trying to persuade are people who really don't have a dog in this fight, right? Fence-sitters, people who have no real investment one way or the other in the legalization debate, but probably aren't really in favor of it - which is why they need to be communicated with, right?

I'm thinking that for most of these people, when they watch this movie they're not going to see a man standing up for his rights as an individual - all they're going to see is some vaguely disreputable-looking dude trying to grow a quarter million dollar's worth of illegal drugs. Mind you, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with trying to grow a quarter million dollar's worth of dope, and I'm sure not criticizing you or your general appearance. I'm just saying, I think that's pretty much what most people are going to see when they watch the movie.

I'm just not sure how that's going to send anyone a message in favor of legalization. It's not like you're commiting an act of civil disobedience, a la Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks, allowing yourself to be arrested in order to make a statement. You're just growing a shitload of dope, as far as they're concerned, and doing everything you can to minimize your personal risk. I don't see where that's going to make any of these people rethink their position on civil liberties.

But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. No offense intended. I haven't seen the whole movie yet, so who knows what the finished product will be like or how persuasively it tells the tale you want to tell. It's just idle speculation on my part, just kicking some ideas around with you and bouncing some first impressions off of ya. Hurry up and get that damned thing finished, so I can buy a copy and speak from an informed perspective instead!

i think his confrontations with helicopters,dogs,and nature and the lust for success without persecution to grow the fine herb is a fine example of the civil liberties we are robbed of. alot of people see it as you stated , but there is also the majority that see it from BDW's perspective im one of them.If you pay attention to his clips and really truly watch them from a multiple perspective point of view you would see the points he gets across without him having to even say anything. IF every viewer passes that point on to the non understanding then we can go far...:peace::blsmoke:

no, not at all. this is a healthy dialogue. i welcome the debate. It's true, you really have to wait until it's over I think to pass that sort of judgement. And remember, this is totally experimental work from an artist perspective. I'm speculating. I'm laying down a vision. i'm really banking on the crossover potential by virtue of the uniqueness of the product. It's about drawing attention. that's where you guys come in. You're the frontline soldiers as it were -- the messengers. through you, it filters into the mainstream by the law of averages. and it if grabs, then the movement gets a shot in the arm because of the subject matter. Plus the character becomes iconic and I can exert influence that way as a ambassador for the movement.

this is quite insightful and brilliant what you've brought across here. good art is always about what's inferred, what's between the lines.

I think what you're doing could make a difference politically, BUT there's one major problem: who is your current audience? Smokers and growers who generally already agree with you. Maybe a few random people have stumbled upon it on youtube, but for the most part it's people who agree with you and like what you're doing. So unless you have some idea of how to change the audience to those who disagree as well, and (ideally) even the politicians who matter, then I have trouble seeing this as more than entertainment. Trust me man, I think you're awesome, and I hope to God that you do help make a political difference, but considering your current audience I just have trouble believing it.

spot on dude..which is why if us growers,push the point to the non smoker and grower and show what hardship is really brought on to cultivate a plant that has more positive useful effects for health,and industrial uses then most legal substances. It will only go as far as we take it...
