Those crazy kids and their Mary Jane!! 😳

By the way, just noticed in the last couple of episodes Fatima is now a “King-sized” cigarette, no longer a “Long cigarette.” All I heard from all brands growing up was “King-sized.” Interesting how terms change over time…

This should be titled the Big Reefer Madness Episode. 🤣

reefer madness - You'd think the teens were running a meth lab the way they tore up the theater. This episode was remade for television in 1953.

It just isn't weed. It's dope.

Written by James Moser. Later adapted for television on November 6, 1952 {with Herb Ellis as "Officer Frank Smith").

My son is a Hilarious. Ol dad sure flipped in a hurry.

I think that this is the first episode to drop the word, “only”, before “the names were changed to protect the innocent”.

Its so funny to think that pot was thought of just as bad as heroin when in reality it's pretty much harmless compared to the hard shit it was compared to

I find the cigarette commercials interesting. Times have changed

Oh ya . Marijuana 😮. I have smoked weed fir over 50 years and never act like these “ punks” . Once I started playing around with. Meth, reds 💉 mainlining . You bet there was trouble. But once those years were behind me and I was just toking . Never felt like ripping it up . Thank God I lived through all that crap 🙏🙏

Im not a user of marijuana, but this is laughable. The chances of a group of kids reacting this way to pot is nearly zero, but this kind of propaganda was very prolific at one time. Having worked in night clubs most of my life, id take a crowd of stoners over some drunks any day of the week. lol Ive never seen or heard of someone becoming violent after smoking marijuana.
Disclaimer: I dont condone mind altering substances of any type. But this is pure fantasy

Potheads trashing a theater? Nah. Laughing at their popcorn, maybe, but not trashing the place.

It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 🚬☠️

Meanwhile benzadrine not criminalized until 1966 and dexadrine issued to soldiers and pilots in Vietnam and even later.

robertplatt

I have a feeling the case this was based on was a heavier drug than pot. Did they change it to be more "tame" or was it propaganda?
