About Ryan Allway

Mr. Allway has over a decade of experience in the financial markets as both a private investor and financial journalist. He has been actively involved in the cannabis industry since its inception, covering public and private companies.

A church group produced the 1936 American propaganda film to warn people about the purported dangers of cannabis. It was just one part of a concerted effort in the 1930s to criminalize cannabis and other narcotics. 

But despite its original intent, the film has since become known for its campy, false, and over-the-top portrayal of the plant’s supposed effects on young people. 

It’s become a prominent and influential piece of American media, though not for the reasons its producers hoped. In fact, “reefer madness” is often used today as a sort of shorthand for any messaging or actions against drug use seen as hysterical, unnecessary, or false.

Here are five interesting facts about “Reefer Madness” that you may not know:

The original title of the film was “Tell Your Children.” 

Would “Reefer Madness” be the cannabis cultural touchstone it is today without its sensational name? We’ll never know. You have to admit, though, that it’s a much catchier title than the original one French-American film director Louis J. Gasnier gave it. 

“Tell Your Children” was the name of the small church group that financed the film—and the inspiration for its title.

That quickly changed when husband-and-wife exploitation filmmakers and distributors Dwain and Hildagarde Esper bought the film (though Dwain was the face of the operation). They recut the film, adding more bawdy scenes, and renamed it “Reefer Madness” for a more salacious vibe.

“Reefer Madness” was a flop—and the founder of NORML rediscovered it decades later.

The Espers distributed the new cut on the exploitation film circuit under different names, like “The Burning Question,” where it performed pretty poorly and was quickly shelved.

Around 1970, the film was rediscovered by the founder of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws — an advocacy group still influential today. In 1973, founder Keith Stroup told The New York Times that NORML had attained the rights to distribute the film, which by then was seen as humorous and ironic. The film grossed about $100,000 through showings in about 20 cities on college campuses and traditional theaters, Stroup said.

Today, the film is in the public domain.

True crimes likely inspired the “Reefer Madness” sensationalism.

There was a strong pro-prohibitionist movement in the 1930s, primarily led by anti-pot crusader Harry Anslinger, the first head of the newly created Federal Bureau of Narcotics, in 1930. The FBN enlisted self-proclaimed cannabis experts to convince the public (and juries) that marijuana use led to violent crime.

But it was an actual ax murder of five in Tampa, Florida, that supposedly served as the true inspiration for “Reefer Madness.” 

Florida man Victor Licata killed both of his parents and all three of his siblings with the crude weapon in 1933, purportedly while in a cannabis-created delirium. That latter false belief gave him the nickname “Dream Slayer” and provided leaders like Anslinger the ammunition they needed to criminalize cannabis.

A film called “Madness,” based on more than a decade of research into these killings and their impact on American drug policy, is being produced by Florida native Devin Muller, who wrote and is directing it. The COVID-19 pandemic held up the film’s production.

“Reefer Madness” has established itself as a pop-culture staple.

From references in stoner-buddy flicks like “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” to made-for-TV musical remakes starring Kristen Bell, there is no doubt that this small-budget exploitation flick has had a big impact on American culture—for better or worse.

Scientific research has widely debunked the film’s portrayal of cannabis as a dangerous and deadly substance.

Despite decades of prohibition on federally funded research, scientists and researchers are finding that weed is the safest of all drugs used recreationally. Experts and regular citizens are regularly discovering its medical benefits as legalization sweeps the nation. Two more states adopted adult-use cannabis programs in the November 2022 elections, and the movement shows no signs of slowing down. 

From Bob Marley to Louis Armstrong, marijuana has played a vital role in their successful music career. Back in the 1930’s, when weed vaporizers were not on the market, Los Angeles County put Louis Armstrong in jail for nine days because he smoked a joint while performing and Jazz music was labeled as “Satanic.” Being a strong advocate of Potheads, Bob Marley had done a lot more than just getting high; He was a very religious person, and smoking was like a form of meditation to him. Marijuana helped him to connect with his inner spirituality. Bob Marley once famously said, “Herb is the healing of the nation; alcohol is the destruction.” One study in the 1970’s found that marijuana enhanced the ability to perceive sounds at the very top of our hearing range, around 6000Hz. Not only do individuals under the influence hear these sound better, but they also reported enjoying higher-pitched sounds more.

In the 1970’s, a study found that people who had consumed marijuana before listening to music perceive that sound increased to 6000Hz. Reportedly, people who smoke weed before listening to music get a better-quality sound as well. Modern-day hip-hop artists, including Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa are also influenced by weed. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg showed their love for weed quite evidently on their famous track, “The Next Episode.” Many great rappers are born in Michigan, such as Eminem, Royce Da 5’9” and Big Sean, etc. So, if you are a cannabis lover and stay in Michigan, you may visit any legalized medical marijuana dispensary in Ann Arbor. Weed and music always shared a romantic relationship, straight from the beginning.

1.  A Major Impact: Marijuana was appreciated by the Jazz musicians in the 1920’s and 1930’s, and admiring its dignity, many popular songs were written. Everyone knows the amazing journey of The Beetles and how the band members came to India in search of higher spiritual growth. They explored different forms of ganja in the land of spirituality and promoted the same ideas in the west, through their music.

• With poetic lyrics, Bob Dylan became a legendary classic rock sensation. Bob Dylan is the person who introduced marijuana to The Beatles. 
• In 1964, in a New York City hotel, The Beatles members smoked marijuana. 

2.  Cannabis and Rap music: Two of the greatest icons in the “Stoner Rap” category are Snoop Dogg, and Wiz Khalifa. Snoop Dogg and Cypress Hill are the early 90’s rapper’s who contributed the most in establishing the term “Stoner Rap.” They were both, the first who lead a lifestyle encircling cannabis. Many of their songs are about cannabis and in their music videos, we also see them smoking. Their merchandise and their shows are also about embracing the cannabis culture. 

• All the stoner rappers have their musical genres and specific lyrical style. This includes all the genre of stoner rappers, like 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne and especially Trap music artists. And also, the genre of Nate Dogg and Eazy-E is “G-Funk,” strongly related to the cannabis culture. 
• The term “Stoner Rap” makes sense when an artist establishes a positive lifestyle based on cannabis. 

3.  Pop Influencers: Famous teen stars Miley Cyrus and pop icons like Lady Gaga and Madonna also promote smoking weed. Miley has been seen wearing dresses with weed-graffiti on them during several occasions. She even performed on stage wearing a bodysuit that showed glittered leaves of marijuana plants. Lady Gaga, a proud New Yorker, famously stated in an interview that smoking weed has helped her connect with music spiritually.

You have the power to put the usage of cannabis into a gleaming light in society, like Wiz Khalifa. Being an extraordinary father, he knows the positivity and is open to the thought altering ideas the cannabis plant offers. It helps him to work hard and to make great music. Snoop Dogg has normalized the consumption of weed during his whole music career. 

Many great artists and musicians of all ages have been inspired by the usage of cannabis. If you are a budding performer who needs a little inspiration; cannabis may serve as a motif to become a better musician. In recent years, quite a few legislation initiatives have been passed to provide people with safe access to recreational marijuana as an option.

The number of those who smoke is on the rise in general, though statistics disagree on whether its new popularity is a result of it now being legal recreationally in Washington D.C. as well as nine other states. You don’t just have to smoke weed anymore either. Smokers are developing the habit of ingesting cannabis. In fact, cannabis infused gummy bears or peach flavored fruit tarts are the new normal. Marijuana edibles have become the latest trend.

Why?

It’s tough to draw a conclusion that offers one unanimous explanation. Some feel that ingesting THC is less harmful than drawing it into their lungs. Others claim it’s a more subtle high that doesn’t come on as suddenly as it would if they were inhaling from a bong or vaporizer.

It’s hard to resist tasty snacks

Marijuana edibles on the market tend to be made with the kind of imaginative ingredients you would only otherwise have the pleasure of enjoying in a farmer’s market or gourmet shop. What’s not to like about chocolate covered pot dipped marshmallows? How can you not want a scoop or two of marijuana laced cheesecake ice cream? Gluten-free peanut, parsley and cinnamon biscuits are absolutely sublime even when they don’t contain THC. “It’s been my passion to make medical marijuana not only highly effective, but deliciously amazing,” says the owner of a California dispensary. https://www.seattletimes.com/life/food-drink/pot-dispensary-finds-niche-ice-cream/.

Doses are listed on the packaging or on the menus of restaurants that sell marijuana edibles

Everyone’s data and information driven these days. The new cannabis consumer wants to know the precise quantity of THC that they’re indulging in. They may like the calm and tranquility of being high, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they want to get so stoned that they’re unable to do anything but meditate on their own toes for hours afterwards.

Privacy issues

The scent of pot wafting through the hall outside the door of your apartment may reveal too much information about your personal life to your neighbors than you’re comfortable with. You can munch on edibles without any great fanfare. Maybe you don’t want to attract attention to yourself when getting a little faded on a park bench one lovely day even if pot is legal in the area where you live.

Edibles are more economical

Marijuana can be really expensive. The exotic stuff can cost an arm and a leg. Recipes for how to make edibles are readily available. You don’t need to spend $100 on the best strain. You can just buy a small pinch and prepare yourself an edible treat with it that will give you a light buzz and help you to continue with your daily activities.
