The film explores the burgeoning 'above ground' industry through the eyes of four, 20-something characters whose real lives are caught up in the changing green landscape. The film follows faculty and students at California's Oaksterdam University, the nation's first college to prepare students for careers in the ever changing marijuana industry and the epicenter of legalization efforts in California. Although medical marijuana is legal in California, it is still prohibited under federal law, leaving Oaksterdam in a precarious legal limbo. With Oaksterdam University now the subject of intense media scrutiny, California 90420 offers viewers a unique, unfiltered perspective into what really takes place behind the doors of the school. -- (C) Official Site

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
I don't know whether Shull intends to debunk the stereotypes surrounding marijuana use or reinforce them, but he does a little of both.

Everything you ever wanted to know about marijuana, but were too buzzed, lethargic or just plain hungry to ask.
