Director Oliver Stone Talks about the Grow House on the Set of Savages

Earlier today we mentioned two new posters for the film adaptation of Don Winslow's crime thriller Savages … and now we're embedded an absolutely fascinating video of director Oliver Stone talking about the "Grow House", the site where characters Ben and Chon (Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch) create the product that has attracted so much attention from the Mexican Baja cartel.

"We had to create synthetic marijuana," says Stone. "It's very hard to create that glow. There's a mist on good marijuana that we feel, there's a crystalline effect. It's really the THC … But I can guarantee you that not one ounce of real grass is on that movie set."

Savages opens in theaters July 6th, 2012.
