I watched Reefer Madness last night.
The 1938 scary propaganda meant for teenagers. I laughed my ass off. It was RIDICULOUS!! I hope kids didn't buy into that shit.

1. Back in the day,
we used to smoke and THEN watch the movie.

My daughter has told me that the tradition continues.

Why is it that the puritans who try so hard to control other people's lives are so stupid about it? And may they continue to be so.

2. Link
Reefer Madness is in the public domain and can be downloaded from the
"Internet Archive"

http://www.archive.org/details/reefer_madness1938

I agree with your assessment, BTW. It is ridiculous.

4. there's a companion movie "Killer Reefer She should have said no"
They would show the pair in tamdem at the drive ins during the seventies and man did it smell good out there. It had the same theme smoking marijuana would make you insane, I like it better than "Reefer Madness".

6. And they say our government doesnt produce propaganda...
Look at Reefer Madness.

Or better yet - look at that White House produced commercial from a couple of years ago when they equated pot smoking to suicide bombers.

13. I have never seen a single soul go wild on pot.
I think it is almost impossible. Killing people? Raping people? Because of pot? That is funny. Sorry your mom believes that. It really is silly.

21. Speaking of potheads has anyone heard the song that
Tommy Chong sang while in prison, I originally found this on MSNBC's website,sung to the tune of Johnny Cash's folsom prison blues.

I hear the train a coming
It's coming around the bend
I hope it's full of women
Cause I'm tired of f*****g men.

:rofl:
