Fusion Chief Cannabis Correspondent Ryan Nerz traveled to Washington, D.C., to examine the tangle of rules, regulations, laws and liabilities involved in getting pot in our nation’s capital. The result is “District of Cannabis,” the latest hourlong documentary in Fusion’s The Naked Truth series.

From veterans shut out of legal medicinal marijuana by the VA’s schizophrenic rules to weed-trepeneurs hauled into court for bartering brownies, Ryan examines a city held captive by the federal government, despite residents overwhelmingly voting to make recreational marijuana legal. From Kush God to kosher growers, from pols to the pot lobby, The Naked Truth gets the lowdown on getting weed in America’s big giant brain.
