Classic Movie Night: Reefer Madness
ASYLUMforART 2505 14 St SW, CALGARY, ALBERTAThe debut of Reefer Madness in 1936, one in a series of anti-marijuana propaganda films released at the time, helped fuel hysteria about the drug. Originally titled "Tell Your Children," the film centers on a series of hyperbolic events that ensue when innocent high school students are lured into trying marijuana — from a hit-and-run accident to manslaughter, suicide, attempted rape, hallucinations and a rapid descent into madness.
