It is funny but sad at the same time. Obviously our government has gotten better at propaganda but some of it is just as blatantly false. Lets take a look at why the movie was made. The government perceived a threat to the status quo - marijuana. In order to neutralize that threat, the government sought to demonize the object and those who were associated with it. Sound familiar?

Yes, I did. If I remember right, Marjorie Mame played Ma Kettle but I am not sure. Used to catch some of these in re-runs as a kid. Right alongside of the" Bowery Boys"and a few other great ones from that time, like " Henry Aldrich". Also watched the series of "Tugboat Annie" and I am pretty sure THAT was played by Marjorie mame.

There is a newer version of this cult classic: Reefer Madness the Musical. And if you loved Reefer Madness, you will certainly enjoy Cocaine Fiends (if you can find a copy, that is).

I saw it for the first time in the early '60s, 25 years after it was made. ILMAO. It is one of the films I watch from time to time for a good laugh.

It was hilarious twenty years ago. I can't believe they still show it. It must have a cult following, like 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.'

It is hilarious. I heard that when prohibition ended they just transferred everybody and everything into fighting pot.

I saw it in the early 70's. Even then it was old and ridiculous.
