Mark Wahlberg to produce TV comedy based on the marijuana legalization movement
(NYDN) The team behind Entourage and How to Make It In America is working on a comedy about the marijuana legalization movement, according to Deadline.com.
Mark Wahlberg has worked with his usual producing partners, Rob Weiss and Steve Levinson, on the project called Happy Tree for Fox.
As Colorado and Washington passed a law to legalize marijuana for recreational use in November, this campaign will serve as the backdrop for this project.
The show will focus on a corporate attorney who quits his job after a nervous breakdown and turns into an unexpected spokesperson for the ‘legalize it’ campaign in California, where the medical use of the drug is considered legal, but not its recreational use.
