"Reefer Madness"

Reefer Madness was a 1936 film about the "tragic" events that happen after someone uses "Marihuana"(This was the incorrect spelling of the word "Marijuana" used in the film). Every time "Marihuana" is used in the film some illegal activity ensues as a result of the use of the drug. The film was financed by a church and was originaly called "Tell Your Children". Its intent was to educate parents about the "Dangers" that came with the use of the drug.

This movie gained little to no audience until the 70's when it was watched as a satire by weed smokers. This is due mostlty to the fact that the movie heavily incorect about the effects of marijuana. A person under the influence of marijuana would not be more inclined to commit a violent crime such as ; manslaughter, murder, rape. Never in the history of any government has it been proven the someone has commited any of these crimes while under the influence. The use of marijuana leaves you with a calm mind and body, this will not encourage a violent crime of such sorts. In fact, If in any case you felt like you needed to commit any of these crimes against someone, Marijuana might bring you down from this notion because marijuana is believed to be a theroputic drug.

As far as suicide goes, no one has ever commited suicide due to the use of marijuana. Marijuana makes you feel better about yourself, it makes you feel happy. It can be said that marijuana has in fact kept alot of people from commiting suicide.
