Reefer Madness (1938)

Reefer Madness is an exploitation film portraying the tragic events that ensue when high school students are lured by pushers to try "marihuana": a hit and run accident, manslaughter, suicide, attempted rape, and madness.

It was originally financed by a church group and made under the title Tell Your Children. The film was intended to be shown to parents as a morality tale attempting to teach them about the dangers of cannabis use. Soon after being shot, however, the film was purchased by producer Dwain Esper, who re-cut the film for distribution on the exploitation film circuit.
