1951 Drug War Propaganda Film Part 3

How "Pot" (that's jive talk for marijuana) leads to a hideous "H" (HEROIN) Habit. A Judge can't understand why so many youths are marijuana addicts, so he decides to investigate. He visits Phyllis, a high school senior and former marijuana junkie, who tells him about the horrible effects marijuana has had on her. It made her feel like she was speeding "100 miles an hour!" and she therefore became a heroin user. She managed to overcome her addiction to marijuana and heroin, but in the process ruined her hair. This leads the judge to the logical conclusion that the drug problem in the U.S. was introduced by the godless Red Communists in an effort to "undermine morale" and that the way to stop the drug epidemic was to "use common sense" (an earlier version, apparently, of the Reagan-era "Just Say No!" campaign, and which had pretty much the same effect--i.e., none).
