4. Hell, did they believe any of those films like it back then?
Well, the parents did ;)

Here's the others on that site where I got the above link: http://www.publicdomaintorrents.com/nshowcat.html?category=exploitation

I haven't watched anything but Reefer Madness, so maybe the knowledgeable can tell us about the others there :D

5. What a evil weed.
I have a neighbor who is 86 and she smoked reefer in her youth.

She said it was popular.

12. 'Sex Madness' is about the dangers of VD
It's hilariously parodied as "Reckless Youth" at the end of "Amazon Women on the Moon," with Carrie Fisher in the lead role as the innocent yet "unclean" Mary Brown. ("It was only then that I learned of my shame.") :D

My other favorites in the genre are "Cocaine Fiends," "Assassin of Youth" and "Marihuana," which has brief nudity (In 1936?) and teaches us that drinking beer and dancing lead to smoking dope, which leads to getting knocked up, shooting heroin and ultimately selling it for your drug-dealer boyfriend.

13. I dont know how many times dancing and weed lead to me being a crack whore.
Dancing is a hell of a drug.

15. I have one with 'Reefer Madness,' 'Assassin of Youth' and 'Marihuana'
It's from Something Weird Video, a great source for stuff like this.

I have "Cocaine Fiends" on its own DVD.

16. "The Weird World of LSD" is as mindnumbingly bad as
"The Star Wars Holiday Special" :P

I've never been able to make it more than halfway through either of them!

2. Pretty funny movie when you are baked.
If weed affected me like it did in that movie then I would have gone on several killing sprees by now.

8. That is just SO like the GOP and FOX (isn't that redundant?) today.
"This didn't actually happen, but it COULD - BE AFRAID - BOOGA BOOGA!!!"

Actually, Reefer Madness was part of the efforts by the cotton industry to ban hemp. Cotton is crap as a fiber compared to hemp and you wouldn't want to smoke the leaves from the hemp that is grown for fiber anyway, well not unless you are REALLY into splitting headaches.
