Reefer Madness!
Reefer Madness (originally made as Tell Your Children and sometimes titled The Burning Question, Dope Addict, Doped Youth, and Love Madness) is a 1936 American film about drugs, revolving around the melodramatic events that ensue when students are lured by pushers to try weed - from a hit and run, to manslaughter, suicide, conspiracy to murder, assault, hallucinations, and descent into madness. The film was directed by Louis J. Gasnier.
Originally financed by a church group, the film was intended to be shown to parents as a morality tale to teach them about the dangers of cannabis use. Soon after the film was shot, it was purchased by producer Dwain Esper, who re-cut the film for the exploitation circuit, escaping censorship under the guise of moral guidance.
The film has since spawned a cult following, with multiple theatrical adaptations (including an Off-Broadway run starring Kristen Bell and Alan Cumming) and a film version of the musical in 2005 which added Ana Gasteyer and Neve Campbell ("Scream") to the cast.
