    Part 2: • " ASSASSIN OF YOUTH " ...
    Released in 1937 and directed by Elmer Clifton, "Assassin of Youth" is a famous B-picture about the ill effects of marijuana / cannabis. The plot of the movie centers on a ring of teens who smoke marijuana, who entice an innocent high school girl and lead her on the road to addiction and worse. Meanwhile, a reporter goes undercover as he tries to reveal the story of the gang and expose them for what they are -- dope fiends.
    "Assassin of Youth" features a screenplay by Charles A. Browne from a story written by Leo McCarthy. The film is often compared to "Reefer Madness", and has many obvious similarities including sharing cast member Dorothy Short. The film's memorable title was taken from a Reader's Digest article written by the USA "drug czar" of that era, Harry J. Anslinger. The film stars Luana Walters as Joan Barry, Arthur Gardner as Art Brighton, Dorothy Short as Marjorie 'Marge' Barry, Earl Dwire as Henry 'Pop' Brady, Fern Emmett as Henrietta Frisbee, Henry Roquemore as Judge George Herbert, Fay McKenzie as Linda Clayton and Michael Owen as Jack Howard.

    I don't smoke it but thousand and thousands more people died in car accidents from drunk driving. People who drink alcohol always want to fight. When I was a little boy my grandma and step grandfather drank a lot. When I would peddle my bike over to visit my grandma if I seen sticks of furniture on the front porch it meant to keep peddling because they were both drunk and fighting. lol

      This was 1937, the first year cannabis was illegal. Recent patents made the hemp industry a viable competitor to the southern cotton industry. Note that industrial hemp was included in their ban. That is, except for the wartime years, in which they actually funded American farmers to grow hemp.

      These kind of films went into lot ww2 propaganda films like know your enemies .were they instructed you how to tell if your neighbors was a nazi spy. Or japanese citizen has evil intentions . Talk bout racial profiling. Especially if they say nazi sympathizers were Americans who proudly acknowledge their German heritage. And japanese Americans who they say are proudly wearing their traditional samurai attire and practice their japanese tea n samurai traditions . Yeah that automatically made them anti American. Surprised there not saying California Chicago's are the main front of sale of Marijuana
