I was a bit confused after viewing this pod. Both of the people you interviewed were examples of extremes. As a result, it's difficult to determine what the film is trying to say.
The drunk kid came across as a parody of himself, and the older man had a terrible story of misfortune, but a story that, based on the abbreviated details that were presented, speaks more to a problem with the justice system in his area than the side effects of pot. I wasn't sure what to think.
If you make another version, I suggest that you offer the viewpoints of more interviewees, including some experts who can speak to both sides of the issue. Also, make sure that their contributions are articulate, and that the stories are directly related.
I hope this feedback is helpful. You've certainly chosen a popular topic, and one that is ripe to be explored. Good luck with it.

I couldn't improve on jenbeck's astute critique, but I'll add that with her suggestions, you could have a really good pod. Perhaps, as jenbeck suggested, you show both sides. Then have the interviewer sum up the opposing opinions on camers, leave it as an open question, and let the viewer come to his/her own conclusion.

Thank you for your comments- they make sense to me, I'll work on a revision incorporating those ideas.

Try asking your doctor what he thinks about Pot and see if you can get a response on the record.
I've found most of them who want to be fair to the subject won't answer the question directly and that in itself may make for an interesting thread of this pod if you find the same thing.

A well-done street level look on why pot should be legal.

Please, interview me! I have done very in-depth research on this whole issue, and I think I would be very articulate. More so than that kid in the dark, at least. [smile]
This barely scratched the surface of why marijuana should be legal. -
