Watching this while smoking weed. 😤
eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy me too
These shows just seem to go better with a few massive bong rips. I am always surprised when I wake up feeling good the next day wondering who I murdered in my drug induced stupor the night before.
Same😂😂
How very interesting that even in 1971 they knew and admitted that marijuana doesn't impair driving ability. Those results were confirmed in a 1999 study (and probably others since then, but I read the one in 99 in college, so it sticks in my mind) which found that stoned drivers were a bit slower to react than sober drivers, but unlike drunk drivers who tend to underestimate their impairment, stoned drivers tend overestimate their impairment and consequently drive slower and more conscientiously than even sober drivers. This conclusion was borne out by highway traffic data that showed stoned drivers were slightly more likely to be involved in minor accidents, but were considerably less likely to be involved in fatal ones. None of which is an argument that it's a good idea to fire up a fatty and go speeding down the highway, but like this 50 year old film says, laws should be based on facts and science, not propaganda and hyperbole.
Folks who light up a fatty DON'T speed down the highway.
Where did the film state that weed "doesn't impair driving ability..." I only heard about one specific aspect, tested on a simulator. I get it, smoking weed is likely less of an impairment to driving than drinking hooch, but the film NEVER stated that it "doesn't impair driving ability." Don't get me wrong, I'm all for weed, But let's not pretend being high has NO effect on driving. When we state blanket shit like that, we are as bad as the "anti" crowd.
Being I’ve driven high for over 13 years and never an accident while high as a kite, but did get in an accident while sober as an ox, driving on black ice, is enough evidence for being more aware of my surroundings while under the influence of Marijuana.. While each individual is different, smoking a can bong for only my 3rd time smoking, while driving has also taught me how to safely drive with my knee, something that has saved my life while sober.. My second time smoking, I did have to drive home after, and thought I was passed a 90 degree turn, on a dirt road, and had to correct my steering, 3 times, fishtailing at 50 mph, and bringing my car to a safe stop in front of a tree.. First time for that fishtailing experience, that could of easily happened being sober and only tired.. I would prolly not be here, if not high, and able to make quick decisions that night.. Ive also avoided two other near accidents as a result of being high on marijuana, much later in life, while delivering newspapers.. First was a guy on a cell phone, in a big black truck was completely sideways in my rear view mirror, while I had brakes on and blinker on, to make a paper delivery.. While it had been a half hour since my last partaking, my reaction time from seeing the person only 6 inches from my bumper, was a mere split second, and the extra fear was what caused me to stomp the accelerator so quickly.. Second time it was a semi truck that I seen jack knifing in my rear view mirror, and once again that extra fear allowed me to react faster and avoid death.. Now for the black ice story, and all of these incidents happened within a mile of each other, on the same road.. I was driving 50 mph, two tracks on the black pavement, snow on between the tracks.. Completely unaware with the fact that it was all black ice, as forward motion on a slippery surface is hard to notice, until you have to brake, and/or turn.. I braked then went to turn left, before I got slowed down enough to safely do so (ticket for driving to fast for road conditions).. My sober brain could not think fast enough to just let it slide by and take the next road up, instead turning and hitting a vehicle stopped at the two way stop.. While being high on marijuana will be different for every person, it’s saved my life 3x to date, and I pray that reading this will save someone else’s life some day as well.. One side bar story, I was drunk beyond drunk and everything was so wavy, the lines, the dark background, and I had to drive back home.. If not for smoking marijuana before driving home, I’d have died as well, unless god drove, as all the lines straightened out, and no more waves..
I turned right off of the black ice*
@@gitv2987 My man, Are we talking weed or coke? 😜
Yup, I've been smokin' for 55 years and I'm not hooked yet.
I'm with you... The one thing that pisses me off about legalization is kids will never know what their forefathers had to go through to get a decent bag of weed. Now you just go to the store! Kids today!
@@ap8riot931 u know cartels will be against legalized pot. They just start extort dispensaries. U think hippies will protect the despensaies
So you’re not hooked but you’ve been smoking for 55 years

@@badenialshreebley91I believe he’s referring to addiction, you can drink coffee everyday simply because you like the taste and the boost but it doesn’t cause withdrawals when you stop, just like marijuana
😂😂😂We were stoned AF watching this in high school.😂😂😂
It shows
@@OKFrax-ys2op🤪
For 1971, this is surprisingly accurate. Nowadays, we know more, but damn... This seems mostly honest.
Watching this while taking wake-and-bake bong rips. 💨💨
This video was a gateway video to a subscription and long-term viewing of periscope films and even continued use of periscope films keep up the good work guys this video was very informative and entertaining
Glad you found it and enjoyed it! Consider becoming a channel member ruclips.net/video/ODBW3pVahUE/видео.html
@@PeriscopeFilm were you get these videos I remember this one in 4 th grade
It's 4:20 somewhere!
My house.
9:30 straight to the point. Amazing to hear these old young folks
49 years later, laws has changed somewhat and hemp is more accepted now.
It’s always been accepted in the hood, of a sweater..
But... but... Why didn't society crumble like Uncle Sam said it would?
Meanwhile in 2021 in Pennsylvania I can place an order for all kinds of marijuana and thc products from the dispensary on my smart phone and go down the street and pick it up in the drive thru
ya, but that shwag snicklefritz Joint from the 70s that was ~0.2% THC would immediately give you a heroin addiction and set you down a road of a life of crime
My state fully legalized a few years back. I keep waiting for society to fall apart 🥴😂
It was legal up here until the early 1990s when it was put to a vote that criminalized it barely. Because of the privacy laws in your home in the states constitution it was hard to prosecute unless grown or sold. It was then legalized about five years ago.
Tbh I do blame the modern youth’s heightened emotionality on matters outside their control and anxiety towards matters they can control on weed use.
My whole country legalized 3 years ago and society has not fallen apart. If there’s been any increase in car accidents I haven’t heard about it.
In case my sarcastic tone didn’t carry through; to be clear I had no expectations of problems and have opposed prohibition my entire life. Cheers everyone
I think we all caught your drift.
Reefer madness is a funny comedy produced by the government
🗽FINANCED BY W.R.HEARST -- OWNER OF WOOD PULP PAPER PATENT -- MOTIVE CLEAR
No fat chunky buds ? No bong rips ?
lol
No stems, no seeds that you don't need
Acapulco Gold is badass weed
Its more about telling people that they will start using fent and getting bent after weed , heroin, crack and meff wear off.
At 7:15 something very similar happened to me personally, I killed my piano instructor, until I realized I was just talking to myself in the bathroom mirror.
Same. I waited outside bathroom for two hours till I found out the guy I waded for to leaf was myself in mirror
"Once you start on this drug you can't get away from it, it finally leads to DEATH💀" I'm in my mid 60s & it will eventually get me!💥👀😉🤣😜
🗽SHOULD BE USED AS PALLIATIVE CARE IN HOSPICES I BELIEVE
only thing that would have been better is if he was puffing on a cigarette while saying that
I love all the people in this film openly admitting that there are no side effects, that it doesn't impair driving, etc, and then immediately following that up with "BUT"....it's like they just can't bring themselves to admit the whole thing is stupid and they're trying to police a basically harmless drug.
Kinda makes you wonder what the real "Reefer Madness" is, doesn't it?
"Metabolic Fate" is a good name for a band.
This is the reason why our country is so jacked up. This is what people were taught and told.
And here I am today just getting back from the weedstore with some thc drinks, hash oil, potent Haze. Canada is Federally legal.
Man..... the most dangerous thing about marijuana at that time was getting caught with it.....
Now (in Canada) we openly sell 90%+ dabs/oils of THC... that seems a bit more "dangerous" than the most potent stuff back then
Yeah, I stick to flower only and take tolerance breaks every couple of days. I won’t touch resins/dabs etc. Too easy to mess up your tolerance. Been smoking almost 30 years and still get wrecked from 1/3 joint of today’s super weed.
Exactly!
It is cuz it’s actually stronger and what would prolly get more people “hooked” than a joint
Half a million people die every year from added carcinogens to process tobacco and that’s allowed by law while Marijuana has never killed anyone.
It's all about how the feds can tax and control it, not whether it's good or bad for you.
Watching this while a dispensary gummy works magic on my mind.
Watching this while reading the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.
"Thousands of years old" The first falsehood.
So glad to live "far in the future"☺
I have " smoked " since the late 70's.
These days I think to myself.
Maybe I'll smoke a bit tonight.
Tonight comes and I forget, too many things to do.
Now a get a little, and it lasts for months.
A lot stronger now than 40 years ago, more $$ too!
Depends on how good was your hook up 40 years ago
I live in Illinois and it is now legal for adult citizens of the state to possess up to 30 grams of cannabis which may purchased at licensed dispensaries. While the weed has been freed to some extent there is still no "free weed" available that I am aware of. The situation could be improved by amending the law so as to allow personal cultivation. In the meanwhile, just remember that times with dope but no money are way better than times with money but no dope. Going further, I have long advocated the repeal of the Controlled Substances Act and all similar legislation in all jurisdictions.
The only reason Illinois made cannabis legal was it provides a lot of revenue for the state. It's a start though.
I grew one plant this year in Ca. I've got more weed than I can give away. 3 lbs.
@@trr5291 In addition to the state, those who are granted licenses to produce and distribute cannabis in Illinois also derive wealth from it. Maybe that explains why allowing for individuals to cultivate their own cannabis has not been given much priority. I believe that originally it was allowed for when the legislation that legalized cannabis was first introduced but was dropped during negotions to get a bill passed. Some other states that have legalized cannabis do have provisions that allow for personal cultivation.
@@gulfmarine8857 That sounds like a huge bumper crop yield that you got there for having just one plant. It is too bad that you are prohibited from distributing any extra that you produced to the misfortunate and impoverished in your region.
@@DavidMueller666 Who do you think I'm giving it to? Not people who don't need it I'll guarantee you that. It would be cool to get paid for some of it. I'm a little impoverished myself.
I'm glad they cleared up the myths 😀😀😀
You can bet if it was a government infomercial, especially one on the evils of drugs (near as I can tell the government is pretty much the most evil thing that will happen to you if you get high) it will be full of documented facts (theirs), and will be written by second rate child psychologists.
3:30, so I'm telling you, you didn't know he was smoking pot before...
Only thing I ever stabbed while I was stoned was a pork chop...but it had it coming...lookin' all delicious, juicy, hot ,and whatnot.
Like that lawyer didn’t get baked when he went home after doing the interview.
Drugs win the war on drugs!
Just remember... Drugs are the answer to any problem you will ever have. That's why there is resistance to legalization at the federal level. They need you to always have problems.
Who else watche anti cannabis propaganda when getting stoned
I remember this flick in high school ,if the pigs found a roach on you in your car you were busted
🗽MORE IMPORTANT THE CAR WAS FORFEIT
Very nice movie
21:30 such a great speaker

I wonder how he react to blk person
Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors in the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains. Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body. We already have naturally occurring cannabinoids in the body (endocannabinoids). Why would this be true if it wasn't made for consumption? Was cannabis introduced into our bodies long ago, then we developed the receptors later via DNA changes, or have we had these receptors since creation? The fact that we have these receptors wasn't discovered until the 80s.
Endocannibinoids are speculated to be at least part of the mechanism of action of the runners high
That art student was way ahead of his times!
This is still how it is seen in much of Asia.
But they love their cigarettes
I've never experienced nausea n diarrhea while smoking pot
Legal in Oregon thankfully
I thought I was stoned on weed for some time until I realized Nah! It was the mushrooms. Next thing you know I was one with the universe. I thought it was a positive experience. Good thing I have the government to set me straight. It was very reckless of me... I could have killed thousands of people. Thanks Uncle Sam.
dat synthesizer
No stems no seeds that you don't need, Acapulco Gold is bad ass weed . I'll never smoke weed with Willie again (lol)😎
I don't see in how far this should be called an "anti-drug use and abuse scare film". Isn't it a fairly balanced, credible-appearing work aiming at as proficient a degree of clarification as possible?
no its propaganda..its not as bad as others but it is what it is.
The narrative at the very beginning lays out exactly WHY the government stance on cannabis was not to be believed or trusted. He did nothing, he was a good, smart kid but suddenly he was treated like that.
Interesting
God created weed.
Man made it illegal.
So who is the higher power?
The aliens...
Dude this is great, NY is a huge pot spot lol
Wooooo 10:30 Let's go.
What a lawyer!
Alot of people's lives were ruined because of these stupid laws. The drug war needs to end and everything needs to be legalized
5:34 the Chinese knew how to smoke.
lol dang the opnions of dying old people and dying old ways
All fallen to the evils of Satan's Lettuce
Why did they take Chuck's shirt away? Was that part of his sentence?
Clip 12:05 I think it would be one of the biggest disasters this country would ever face
if they were to legalize marihuana. Update: Weed went from being a felony to a misdemeanor
to now practically being legalized in many US States without Federal approval.
Actually everywhere they have legalized it there have been no problems at all. Colorado paid off their debts in ONE WEEK of sales.
@@abundantYOUniverse What did the cop back then know? lol
@@abundantYOUniverse Actually I need to correct myself because the fed's decriminalized weed last year so I was off
a bit, my bad. lol
@@abundantYOUniverse My question is did the ratio of political votes change faster and than other non-legal states?
@@jamesearlcash1758 Well it gave me a chance to say have a great weekend!:)
Delete Lawz RUclips channel has great info on this 'marijuana'
How's the war on drugs going?
Weed is the front door to hard drugs and back door to getting off hard drugs, I went to a bar smoked, cried happy tears watching basketball, I don't like watching sports, then I danced by myself at 6pm on empty dance floor while the drunks talked about me and made faces...I call my mom when I smoke...🙄 ppl lie too much.
I watched this in junior high school in 1971 it shows actual footage of the the history of marijuanaand the consequences of people getting caught with pot
2:45 Aryn se pucho 😉
Things are all screwed up now !
Ah yes I always get nausea and diarrhea
Such bs... 🙄
18:13 did he just injected him with one maihuanna?
thank goodness we legalized rec use in my state..the law did all the damage putting otherwise innocent people behind bars ripping family apart all over a harmless plant that makes people laugh.
If the feds here in the states legalize it you know they’ll tax the daylights out of it. Keep it local.
"Legalization of marijuana, if it ever comes, is far into the future....." Well, 41 years from when that was spoken. At least at the state level, still working on the fed.
State should overrule Federal. If the people in a state vote on something, Feds need to keep their noses out.
Yes, according to the 10th Amendment the states have the right to decide for themselves what's not defined in the Constitution. Last time I checked, there was nothing in the Constitution mentioning Cannabis.
I knew what pot was, my brother smoked it, but I had no interest in it until I saw this movie! Health class lied! Only VR does what drugs were SUPPOSED to do.

Now days in California it’s a old pot heads dream 😁
cop " sir do u know why i pulled u over? *sniff sniff* is that marijuana i smell? "

The weed of crime bears bitter fruit
But alcohols OK👌🏻
When sativa was sativa and not hybrid
Dont do brain on your drugs kids
15:31 😜🤣
I miss the old days when society cared enough to actually teach children that drugs were bad instead of telling them where to get the best deal. Absolutely pathetic.
the west has become decadent
