Ashland Daily Tidings, 30 Sep 2010 – "Cash Crop" is all about marijuana. But it also is about much more. The film, absent talking heads, absent a polemic voice-over, takes the audience on a road trip from the Mexican border to the northernmost counties of California – Humboldt, Trinity and Mendocino – commonly known as the Emerald Triangle, where marijuana as a cash crop has replaced the anchor industries of fishing and timber. And so the film creates a nicely framed contradiction – call it widespread cognitive dissonance – between the use and farming of marijuana and the federal and local laws that continue to criminalize pot.
