Description

Witness one of the most beloved propaganda films ever made that attempted to scare parents and their children into avoiding using it's subject. This morality tale showcases that using will lead to a life full of crime including murder! Oh my! The film would be largely forgotten until being rediscovered in the 1970s and would become seen as an unintentional satire among advocates of cannabis policy reform. It would even inspire a musical to be produced in the 1990s. The evening will be spent taking a deeper look into the history of this film plus the wild ride cannabis has taken in the eyes of the law in the United States and the rest of the world. We invite you to stay after the screening for a Q & A session. SEATING AND PRE-EVENT ENTERTAINMENT BEGIN AT 7:30 PM. FREE EVENT!
