Grow Your Own Drugs [DVD]
By: James Wong
OK, this series had me shouting at the screen at points - some of it struck me as mad, bad and dangerous. At other points, I was thinking 'Wow! that's a good idea - I'll try that'
So, if you're open to alternative medicines and self reliance, buy it. Otherwise don't.
