How bad is it? It's the second worst anti-marijuana film.
Should you see it? It makes a good companion to "Reefer Madness."
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Marihuana (1936)
aka Marihuana, Weed with Roots in Hell
How bad is it? It's the second worst anti-marijuana film.

One of a dozen exploitation films Dwain Esper directed in 1936, this one shows the perils of smoking marijuana. Schoolgirls get taken to the beachfront, where one toke sends them into endless giggles and a few more causes some to take their clothes off (brief unappealing nudity is the one thing Reefer Madness lacks). Then comes addiction, alcoholism, heroin usage, drowning, kidnapping, pregnancy and death... the usual.
