TruTV has a series in the works on the Colorado family behind Medicine Man marijuana dispensaries. Working title: “Medicine Man.”
The series, from Flame Ventures and Wilshire Studios, has Tony Krantz (“24,” “Felicity”) as executive producer on the pilot. “We’ve been in places and seen things that people would have been arrested for only a short while ago,” Krantz said in a release. “This is a moment in our nation’s history just like the end of Prohibition, and we’re telling the story of one family at the center of all of it.”
Seems America can’t get enough of Colorado’s experiment with legalized pot. The docuseries focuses on the dynasty, led by Andy Williams, demonstrating that the marijuana industry is “a far cry from the stoner stereotypes.”
Medicine Man has a 40,000-square-foot cultivation facility used for growing its product. It employs 75 people and is in construction on a satellite outpost in Aurora. The company estimates its value at $11.5 million.
