GH Film #1: Reefer Madness (cautionary films)

Grindhouse Cinema Week
Film #1: Reefer Madness (cautionary exploitation films)
WATCH THIS FILM
Reefer Madness was a 1936 “anti-drug” film that was, in reality, an exploitation film playing into people’s curiosity about marijuana.  The film follows several teens through the problems that occur from smoking marijuana cigarettes.  The main characters get high from smoking marijuana, make stupid decisions, and end up murdering multiple people (in various ways).  The end of the film shows the inevitable result of deciding to use marijuana… you just have to see it to believe it!!!  This is a classic 1930s propaganda film that is so over the top that you will be talking about it for years to come!  Check out this cult classic… sober of course!
