The Marijuana Menace

This 1937 exploitation film, directed by Elmer Clifton, serves as anti-drug propaganda. A high-school girl falls in with a bad crowd of teenage rebels and "dope fiends." The film is considered a clone of Reefer Madness and reflects the anti-cannabis sentiments of its time.

My take

A wild ride through 1930s fear-mongering cinema that's equal parts unintentionally hilarious and historically fascinating. Perfect for anyone curious about how propaganda shaped pop culture, or just looking for some gloriously over-the-top vintage melodrama.
