Homegrown at the Internet Movie Database

The film was written in the 80's but the subject matter frightened film companies and it wasn't until the mid 90's following the legalization of medical marijuana in California that the film was given a green light.

The movie had short, limited theatrical run. It basically came and went unnoticed.
