Homegrown is a 1998 comedy / thriller film. It was directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal and starred Billy Bob Thornton, John Lithgow, and Hank Azaria.
When their kingpin is murdered, bungling small-fry marijuana harvesters in Northern California try to keep the business running, negotiating the biggest sale ever and keeping his death a secret. But when silent partners, the Mafia, the police, and other meddlers crash the party, they begin to realize they're in over their heads.
The film was written in the 80's but the subject matter frightened film companies and it wasn't until the mid 90's following the legalization of medical marijuana in California that the film was given a green light.
The movie had short, limited theatrical run. It basically came and went unnoticed.
