Reefer Madness (film)

"Reefer Madness" is a 1936 American propaganda film that exaggerates the dangers of marijuana use. Originally intended to warn against the drug's supposed effects, the film depicts a series of melodramatic and outlandish situations, including addiction, insanity, and violent behavior attributed to marijuana consumption. Over time, it has become a cult classic, often viewed humorously due to its over-the-top portrayal of cannabis and its users. The film reflects the era's fears about drug use and has sparked discussions about drug policy and societal attitudes toward marijuana.
