     Marihuana
1936  NR  DRAMA  57min
CAST— Harley Wood, Hugh McArthur, Pat Carlyle, Paul Ellis, Dorothy Dehn, Richard Erskine
MUSIC— N/A  DIRECTOR— Dwain Esper

     Another morality tale about the borderline satanic dangers of smoking pot, akin to Reefer Madness (1936), only this film produces more yawns than laughs. A decent young woman takes the wrong path in life and becomes an addict. Suddenly her life crashes down around her as she takes a steady descent into sin. Soon she becomes part of a drug ring and by this point you’ll be begging for the end. Final note: although the film was released in 1936 surprisingly it contains nudity, so this may not be the best film to use in educating the youngsters.
