This week in Let’s Go to the Movies we recommend “The Scientist” a documentary that traces the story of Dr. Raphael Mechoulam from his early days as a child of the Holocaust in Bulgaria, through his immigration to Israel, and his career as the chief investigator into the chemistry and biology of the world’s most misunderstood plant: cannabis.

We also recommend “The Power of Hemp”: A short inspiring and educational video about the huge potential of hemp for humanity and the planet.
