Getting Higher

Joe the small-town pot dealer is down on his luck. Broke, evicted, and framed for a rip-off he didn't commit, he loses everything, from his precious stash to his jerk of a best friend. It's time to turn over a new leaf or get smoked. But can Joe clean up his act, get a job, and keep a girlfriend without falling back into his old habits? Can he replace getting high with getting a higher purpose in life? Sweet dreams of the sweet leaf might just seduce him back to his chronic old ways.
