reefer madness

[notransfer]

i just watched this 1930's cult film its 66 mins long...
pretty wacky...has anyone ever seen this?
its a propoganda flick about insanity and delusion and some of the most uncommon situations a stoner might get into..in an attempt to get people to stop using it..they call it a 'scourge' 3 times toward the beginning...they call weed 'hot' and joints 'hotsticks'

[Amun]

yeah.

it was made during the propaganda wars in the 30s. no one knew much about it anyway, and no one even had statistics on WHO and how many people were 'addicted'...the media heads just blew it out of proportion, nailed a murderer attached POT to his name and let it go.

and look where we are today.


theres also a lot of good papers on that movie that deal with hypnosis and a lot of subliminal things in that movie too. check it out, its real interesting material,...

Oh yes. Reefer Madness is the classic cult anti-marijuana movie. Though hardly anyone actually references it an actual source of truthful information.

It is like 99.9999% propaganda. It's a classic "government trying to scare the shit out of you" technique eh.

I have the movie both in its original format and a cleaned up color version where the MJ smoke is green and purple.

I did a paper on it in college once. I got a good grade on it! :)
