Did Anyone Buy This?
Reefer Madness was a propoganda film against the use of marijuana, especially among teenagers. The story is a loose one about a group of kids who begin to party at a drug dealer's house and become hooked on the product. Instead of the usual symptoms like mild behavior and food cravings, these kids laugh like hyenas, engage in extreme sexual activities, and become very violent. One girl is even killed. Perhaps the film served as a warning in its time, but it is very laughable today. Not only are the kids stereotypical of perfect kids gone wrong, there are subliminal messages (4-20) and fake facts to back up the ridiculousness of the film.

Included here is a colorized version of the original black and white film. It uses garish colors that make skin look like a very unnatural pink color and pastels for clothing. The world looks even stranger colorized, which adds to the hilarity.

This movie is certainly a curiosity, but it is not much more than that.
