Obviously Marijuana was obtainable if needed in 46'

does anybody know where to get these on vhs or dvd?

[MightySaturn5]

@MVillani1985 I agree however Marijuana does increase imagination, determination and patience so from that vantage point it might have been used however it seems most creative types are wired that way, anyway I appreciate the information and have a wonderful day/evening.

@MightySaturn5 I know this was meant as a joke but actually it was. In the 20s a lot of people smoked weed, they called them "party cigarettes" and were sold in brighty coloured wrappers, but it's not a psychedelic drug, so it wouldn't have resulted in a video like this.

@moxie96

hey, you bring up a good point, You don't need to be under drugs to appreciate these types of films. They're surreal and amazing without any influences. And the amount of work put into them is phenomenal. however, the director and creator of these films, Harry Smith, was supper high making them. The creator was high, and made these films as a result. they were born under the influence of drugs and alcohol, so it only does the films and the director justice to watch them high. try it.
