Cannabis Clips

Cannabis clips are back! The recent drop-off in pot culture days is due to a combination of a little vacation, a little laziness, and writer's block. But, I'm back on the ball, hopefully writing some decent humor for my fair readers. Also new is the poll to the right; be sure to vote!

Let's take a look at a film that is known as the epitome of a cult movie: Reefer Madness (aka Tell Your Children).



Once a movie made to scare people into fear of marijuana use, Reefer Madness is now a quintessential "stoner flick." My favorite part has to be the man who encourages his lady friend to play the piano faster and faster and faster!


Having seen the whole film, I feel that I am capable of saying that this movie reaches comedy through absurdity. No one in their right mind today would argue that marijuana induces a desire for rape or homicidal tendencies. For those who have an allergic reaction to old time black and white movies, there is also a 2005 musical version that aired on Showtime. If you want to watch the 1936 version, watch it here. If you want to watch the musical version, which I must say is quite funny, you can find it online on places like SurftheChannel.com or you can buy it. Ha ha, yeah, buy it . . . right.
