LOGLINE: A relentlessly committed character comedian — playing a man publicly outraged by modern garbage weed — embarks on a globe-spanning, fact-based, conspiracy-adjacent quest to find the most potent, pure, uncontaminated cannabis that ever existed, guided by a rogue medical marijuana physician who knows exactly what was lost and who took it. SHORT DESCRIPTION: Mockumentary in structure but grounded in legitimate cannabis history and science, SEARCH FOR ANCIENT WEED follows our protagonist — a performative, Borat-style character who refuses to accept that the legendary strains of the pre-hybrid era are truly gone — as he and his unlikely mentor Dr. Gerald pursue original landrace genetics across multiple countries, from Jamaica to Afghanistan to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Along the way, they’re flanked by two rival shadow organizations: a deep-pocketed group determined to keep real cannabis buried, and a scrappy global network of botanists, healers, and growers working to bring it back. Equal parts stoner comedy, travel doc, and conspiracy thriller — with a factual backbone that might genuinely teach you something.
