Beyond the hysteria of Reefer Madness and past the deceptive lessons of “Just Say No”, HIGH exposes the true story of America’s war on drugs.

Using government statistics, expert interviews and a large dose of humor, HIGH takes a fresh look at this hot button issue and asks just how much this “war” costs the American taxpayer, an important question to ask in our current economic crisis.

How the U.S. government operates, often knowingly misinforming the public, and who benefits from its policies is an important question for every citizen, regardless of political party. Director John Holowach provides both the necessary historical background and current events for sober answers on marijuana and the DEA’s impact on people’s health and well-being in our modern society in his first documentary, HIGH.

It includes a violent drug treatment program that tortured children; an overbearing drug czar that doesn't care for the people he hurts in his quest; patients who are being denied the medications they need; doctors being prosecuted for trying to help them; and a substance that we all know of, but nobody wants to talk about.

"CannaBiz : The Secret Economy Of Marijuana" is a documentary written and directed by Lionel Goddard and Chris Aikenhead for Omni Film Productions in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Canada's $20 billion-dollar marijuana industry is now at a violent crossroads between crime and commerce. Impossible to police, yet steadily gaining public acceptance, the cannabis industry is now so vast and vital to Canada's national economy that it can no longer be ignored.

CannaBiz unfolds in Grand Forks, BC, a small border town nestled in the Kootenay Mountains, where draft dodgers planted the first "BC Bud" in the 1960s. After the pine beetle chewed through what was left of the forest industry, marijuana became the backbone of the local economy. In secret forest plots, basements, barns and high-tech underground bunkers, growers nurture some of the world's most potent bud. Most of the marijuana here, and in the rest of Canada, is destined for the US market, where a pound of premium weed sells for a street price of $4,500.


Across the country, formerly laid-back marijuana growers now live in fear of armed thieves, and smugglers take huge risks to cross the beefed up American border. Conflicted police and RCMP officers like Harland Venema continue to fight a seemingly futile battle. In Grand Forks, Brian Taylor, once nicknamed "the marijuana mayor", is campaigning for medical marijuana as a prescription for economic prosperity. Ex con Sam Mellace dreams of supplying medical marijuana nationally through Shoppers Drug Mart outlets.

With inside access to growers, gangsters and police, CannaBiz untangles the inner workings of the marijuana industry and raises serious questions about Canada's drug laws. Stephen Easton, a leading Canadian economist, recommends the end to marijuana prohibition, yet the government's position is to get even tougher on an industry that now employs as many Canadians as the auto industry. Are the staggering profits from the cannabis industry better off in the pockets of hard-core smugglers and criminal gangs, or would the Canadian economy benefit from taxing this exploding industry?

In this short video interview, Joan Ocean who is quite well known among the Cetacean community swimming around in Earth's Waters talks to Lilo Mace about her experiences with these amazing telepathic beings over the last 33 years or so ... ever since she first became aware of their highly intelligent, ever loving, multidimensional nature. She recounts experiences of people swimming with these dolphins and whales ... and how they are healed and energy blockages are removed from their bodies by the sonar frequencies emanating from them !


Joan Ocean also discusses her experiences encountering various ET races who're here with us living in underground and underwater bases all over the world. She names the Arcturians, the Andromedans and the Pleiadians among many other civilizations who are here. Some aren't exactly known by a name ...

Here is an article by Joan Ocean on Dolphins and Whales ...


The dolphins and whales are calling us into the ocean !

They want to meet us, to introduce us to their world, and to swim with us into the unknown. They are intelligent friends who exemplify qualities we value-- cooperation, harmony, peace, joyfulness, good health, beauty, wisdom, supple movement, grace and unconditional love. The dolphins and whales are approaching us around the globe, filling our minds with visions of freedom, and interacting with us to encourage us to attain many life-enhancing qualities.

I am a counseling psychologist by training and I have understood from the beginning of my human- dolphin connection that experiences with the dolphins and whales are teachings about human potentials and spiritual unfoldment. The calling that I have received from the cetaceans is a call to people about our unlimited essence and our capacity to experience love more fully.

This is what the dolphins have been showing me by their example as I swim with them almost every day. It has changed my life and it has affected the community of friends who live in my neighborhood and swim with me. On this web site, I will continue to share with you the teachings of the dolphins and whales.

Since 1989 I have lived with three pods, or families, of more than two hundred wild Hawaiian Spinner dolphins, Stenella longirostris. I have logged over 6,000 hours in the water — listening to the dolphins, watching them, mimicking them, filming, recording, documenting them, and enriching my own life because of them. I have learned that cetaceans communicate in a way that requires an entirely different mind set than the human cognitive-thinking model. Rather than in words and sentences, dolphins communicate through vibrations, through sonar and synchronized movement, through acoustic images, feelings, sounds, and group-energy fields. They work with the electromagnetic grids of the planet, using these underwater pathways to send messages for miles beneath the sea.

They know how to access multiple dimensions. This means they are simultaneously experiencing life in the ocean and life in an ontological world of multi-level subtle realities. As they swim with me, I am often fascinated by their ability to be wonderful three-dimensional physical friends, while they also interact with vibrational holograms that take them to fourth and fifth-dimensional worlds. They serve as inspirational examples to us of the possibilities existing beyond our present belief systems.

What they are doing, and what they are teaching us, is exactly what we humans will be doing in the twenty-first century. This is why there is such a yearning in people to be with dolphins and to learn from them — we sense the importance and the timeliness of their wisdom.

When we immerse ourselves in the ocean for hours, we are transported into another dimensional world. Everything we see and feel is new and unknown, relative to our earthbound lives. As we swim along we see the blueness ahead of us. We see shapes and forms moving in the current before us. We look ahead and we cannot see our own bodies. It feels like free-floating in outer space!

In addition to living in another world, the Hawaiian Spinner dolphins are at One with nature. They live in a state of Love that suspends judgment, anger and retaliation, and their abilities to use more of their physical, sensory, and intelligence potentials reminds us that we can do that too. The dolphins operate out of a different paradigm than the human race. They have not been raised in a culture that requires primarily rational thinking. They know there is much more than that. We can learn their ways and enrich ourselves. As we broaden our attitudes, the physiology of our bodies will change also. There are many wonderful adventures awaiting our entrance into the dolphin world.

As humans we want happiness -- the dolphins have found this. We want peace of mind -- when we swim with wild dolphins, we find it with them. We want beauty and love - the dolphins create this vibrationally, shaping their own habitats. They feel vibrations, create holographic works of art all around themselves, and then play among them.

The dolphins have taken me through a very precise and methodical "course of study," compelling me to open to their wisdom and set aside my old limiting beliefs about who I am as a human being on Earth at this time in the history of the Universe. They have helped me expand into near and distant worlds.

These are the experiences I will share with you, in the hope that some of the behaviors and communications of the dolphins will inspire you to further develop them into healing modalities for people and our planet.


What the Dolphins Have Taught Me

1.) To swim and dive.
2.) To hear better and more in the ocean and in general
3.) To enjoy the ocean and swimming
4.) To value living in a group of people and living like dolphins


These are some of the basic principles they teach:

Supporting each other.
Cooperating, no competition.
Taking care of Nature and it takes care of us.
We are more than our physical bodies, we are able to communicate.
Use your telepathic abilities.
Sound (vibrations) can heal us. Use them, study them.
Live Simply.
Breathe deeply all the time and avoid going places where you can't.
Sleep on your own schedule.
Eat what's in your environment.
Always smile it makes you more beautiful.
Eye contact is a communication between souls.
You have control over your emotions – express the good ones, analyze the bad ones. Don't blame others.


Keep active.
Enjoy making love.
Be curious.
Teach the young people.
Play more than anything else, no matter where you are!
Respect your family.
Share your feelings of love with everyone. Don't be stingy.
Be fearless and face the things that worry you with Faith.
Use your 6th sense and beyond.
Have integrity.
Love yourself.
Keep your sense of humor.
