Marijuana, The Devil's Flower by Mr Sunshine

A campy cautionary tune from Linden, New Jersey's Regal Records' short-lived subsid R.F.D. by Mr. Sunshine. It's "Marijuana, The Devil's Flower"! R.F.D. started in 1951 and then shut down the same year to allow Regal to concentrate on their R&B roster that included Savannah Churchill, Paul Gayten and Larry Darnell.

I did not post this song as a statement. Apparently you don't appreciate this song as part of history.

You're welcome. I enjoy these little spinning time capsules!

In case anyone is interested, Mr Sunshine was Carl J. Swanson (1908-?).

Great find.  This is so not what I think of when I think of "music that has been made in Linden, New Jersey."

It is just a weed, some people should just get over it.

Listening to this, is no different than watching "Reefer Madness" it's good for a laugh, esp. while you are enjoying the herb....

Part of the government brain washing. I wonder if Jesus sits in heaven and shakes his head laughing at us down here as we ban and outlaw things he put here for us to use?
