Just watched "Reefer Madness"

I saw the old mental hygiene film "Reefer Madness," downloaded from
Kazaa.  The blatant propagandizing renders this scare-tactic-laden
flick pretty darn funny.  Some of my favorite quotes:

"Under the influence of [marijuana], he killed his entire family with
an axe!"

"It is recommended that the defendant be placed in an institution for
the criminally insane for the rest of his natural life."

"...more vicious, more deadly than these soul-destroying drugs [opium,
morphine, and heroin] is the menace of marijuana."

"The first effect is sudden, violent, uncontrollable laughter; then
come dangerous hallucinations -- space expands -- time slows down,
almost stands still... fixed ideas come next, conjuring up monstrous
extravagances -- followed by emotional disturbances, the total
inability to direct thoughts, the loss of all power to resist physical
emotions... leading finally to acts of shocking violence... ending
often in incurable insanity."  (Copied from text in the film.  Don't
blame me for the strange punctuation.)

Wow.  They had some strange pot in the 30s.  With my last experience,
I sat on a couch and giggled at people.  Then, I had carrot cake
(dairy free).  But I ate it... uh, menacingly.  Yeah. ;-)
