Does anyone out there remember the movie "Reefer Madness"? It was shown in schools in the late 1950s-early 1960s. The movie was a propaganda film made in 1936 financed by a church group to teach the dangers of cannabis. Today it still has an audience as a cult film and has also been played as a musical. What a difference between that era and present day in regard to marijuana usage. The movie depicted instant addiction and insanity (my take) plus leading to hard drugs all in the space of about an hour. I guess it didn't impress my generation much as many became marijuana users,not to mention it has now become legal in several states. Amazing how time changes things.
