Weed Country: Pot Grower Mike Boutin on Discovery Channel's Newest Reality Show
HD Download"They shoot people and they're not culpable at all, and it has to stop," says Weed Country's Mike Boutin. Featured on Discovery Channel's new show, Boutin grows marijuana in the emerald triangle and is constantly faced with the threat of federal prosecution.
