26 Nov 2011 - On December 1st The Discovery Channel will premier their latest show 'Weed Wars'. The show will focus on the world of Medical Marijuana and it’s only right they get the Doggfather, a long-time marijuana advocate, to compose the theme song. "I got to have it in my life because it’s the only thing I need, I need it in my life," Snoop raps on the track. "It’s the medicine from the medicine man," he continues. "These are the brothers who be fighting the weed wars."
Weed Wars follows Oakland’s Harborside Health Center, the nation’s largest medicinal cannabis dispensary serving over 94,000 patients. The series introduces the Harborside staff as well as the growers and "patient farmers" whose job it is to provide the "medicine" – the buds – that will be eventually purchased and used by thousands of clients. The shows delves into the ongoing legal debate regarding cannabis and follows the journey of the plant from germination to harvesting and dispensation.
"Weed Wars fearlessly pulls back the curtain on a once illegal and still controversial world," said Nancy Daniels, executive vice president of production and development for 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.
