  • SYNOPSIS: Often dismissed as an hysterical reaction to the growing drug menace, REEFER MADNESS was in fact an influential independent film made by savvy showmen that cunningly profited from America's narcotic paranoia. In the guise of a high-minded educational drama, REEFER MADNESS indulges the carnal curiosity of viewers yearning for a glimpse into a world more sordid than their own. While an anti-drug crusader lectures a group of concerned citizens, the town's innocent teens are drawn into a vice-ridden web of reefers, red hot jazz, underage fornication and the insanity they provoke. With frequent detours through frank sexual terrain, REEFER MADNESS brilliantly demonstrates the most basic principle of exploitation: any vice can be indulged to an excessive degree as long as it's cloaked in a shrink-wrap of education.
