Reefer Madness (1936)
High-school principal Dr. Alfred Carroll relates to an audience of parents that marijuana can have devastating effects on teens: a drug supplier entices several restless teens, Mary and Jimmy Lane, sister and brother, and Bill, Mary’s boyfriend, into frequenting a reefer house. Gradually, Bill and Jimmy are drawn into smoking dope, which affects their family lives.
To obtain a supply of a rare mineral, a ship raising operation is conducted for the only known source, the Titanic.
The film argues that sexually explicit materials corrupt young viewers and readers, leading to acts of violence and perverted attitudes regarding sex—including inclination toward homosexuality. Perversion for Profit was serious in its suggestion that pornography could erode the integrity of American culture.
