Most cannabis enthusiasts will have heard of this infamous movie!

Reefer Madness is a darkly amusing propaganda film from 1936 with significant historical value. Even if youre not into history this one is worth watching for its sheer over-the-top melodrama.

Reefer Madness was produced very soon after marihuana was made illegal in the USA and it can be considered the grandfather of modern anti-cannabis propaganda.

Seventy years later, its portrayal of cannabis and dope-fiends may seem too absurd to ever have been taken seriously, but anyone who pays attention to current state of prohibition will see some disturbing similarities between the melodrama and the modern media.

Many of the same lies and distortions are still being presented to the public in the 21st Century, having been given only slight cosmetic changes or a light coating of pseudo-scientific evidence.

  • they should do beer legal and legaliz weed

  • Hemp and marijuana are the same, but there are basically two types of oils:

    1) Essential oil of Hemp flowers is the "Therapeutically efficacious" or curative oil (or medicine) and may cure cancer and more. (see 'hash oil')

    2) Hemp seed oil (such as sold by Nutiva) contains no THC, is highly nutritional, and quite tasty, too.

  • This is real Propaganda, Brought to you by !America! This is Supposed to be Serious, Saying That Weed Makes people Violently Psychotic, Our Leaders Were taking this Seriously! This Showcases The incompetence of our Leaders! (or it Showcases that they Deliberately Misled the Masses) So, "They Were Either Willfully Ignorant, or There was some agenda at stake that stood to lose something if marijuana were to be generally understood."-James Jesse Emery

  • such a load of bullshit
