The documentary chronicles the lives of the Ward brothers, four elderly, nearly illiterate dairy farmer brothers who have spent their entire lives in the same dilapidated two-room shack in upstate New York.

This survey also shows daily marijuana use also declined from a peak of 10.7 percent in 1978 to 2.7 percent in 1988. But one USC student, who insisted on anonymity, said, '^Marijuana users have definitely increased in number." "During the Reagan administration, there was a strong emphasis on drugs being really uncool, but people are starting to realize that it's really not that bad," the student said. "They're wising up and real lzmg you aon t near or as many marijuana-related incidents as you do alcohol." According to a study that analyzed 1,023 trauma patients who were admitted to the shock trauma unit at the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services in Baltimore, one-third of all patients had detectable amounts of marijuana in their blood, showing use of marijuana within two to four hours prior to admission. The study, issued by the press office of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, also showed that four out of 10 people under the age of 30 were under the influence of marijuana at the time of the accident. Another student mentioned several times she was aware of the lealth risks related to smoking marijuana. "If I could quit painlessy and effortlessly right now. would :?" she said. "Hell, no!

According to the Encyclopedia Americana, some effects include an increased heart rate, mood changes, an altered sense of time and impaired short-term memory.
