When I was in high school the potheads passed around Reefer Madness and those other “morality” “anti-drug” movies. That entire of genre was invented to get around the Hays code. When you put a “strong moral message” into movies you could also put titties in them, so long as it was showing how these “bad things” led to “moral depravity”.

I’ve never watched that whole movie, it’s so stupid, although I am against legalizing marijuana because it does not let kids properly concentrate on college classes so they can be able to graduate and make a living and I think it’s bad for your lungs and I guess now they have discovered the heart also.

But the movie claims are ridiculous and I did not know they have stuff like that in it.

I never found them funny I just found them stupid. I never laughed once watching the small parts I saw of the movie, but it bored me and I didn’t watch on.

I do think it led to moral depravity. Whenever you are on a substance it changed the thinking, lets your guard down, on young kids it’s a bad idea for so many reasons. Personally I’d like the Hays code brought back to some degree. The guys who make movies are a lot of them just degenerates. I just read how Sue Lyon was under 16 when she made Lolita and the producer had an affair with her, 18 years her senior and married of course. The casting couch is real.
