Reefer Madness- The Actual Plot

The Reefer Madness is an American movie about drugs and how high school students are pushed by the pushers to try out marijuana. The movie further portrays manslaughter, conspiracies, attempted rape, hit and run accidents, hallucinations, and several descents into madness especially due to marijuana addiction. The movie was released in 1936 and was directed by Louis J Gasnier. The movie is also known to cast mainly some little-known faces. Initially, it was financed by a church group and was intended for the parents out there as a mortality story while attempting to teach them about all the dangers related to the use of cannabis.

The movie was further rediscovered in the late ’70s and again gained life as an unintentional satire among all the advocates of cannabis reform policy.
