Movie Review by B Movie Ben
June 9th, 2007

Reefer Madness

This is a perfect example of why the whole "war on drugs" is a total failure and why "Just Say No" and "Dare" are wastes of time and money. The government believes that we all are total idiots and can be scared into believing their crap.

Anyone who has ever tried marijuana knows that this film is pure bunk. Knowing that the government feels that they can lie to us with impunity, we are less likely to believe anything else they tell us. This is dangerous to those who might try harder drugs as they have been lied to once, and will not heed the warnings given by the same liars. It also means we would tend to ignore things like terrorist threats as the government lies about that also.

This film is important as it shows the government cannot ever be trusted. Other than that it is pure camp and totally hilarious to see how far they will go to lie to us.

Marijuana is not processed, and so cannot be taxed. Ergo, it is a bad drug (as opposed to alcohol, which is a good drug). Also, the war on drugs is not supposed to be won. Drug trafficking makes lots of money, both for the traffickers and the people sworn to stop the drugs. No more drugs would put a lot of people in law enforcement out of their jobs. Never going to happen.

Personally, I have no use for anything other than the occasional beer. But that is my choice. If someone wants to get, as MDC put it, "slow, stupid, and hungry," then that, too, is their choice.

I had heard at one time that the criminal justice system costs one trillion - yes, trillion - dollars a year. That's a lot of money to lock up a few people who just want to forget their troubles for a while. I don't drink enough to drown a rat, but why should one drug be allowed and another banned? It's just about being fair. Maybe if I could buy it at the 7/11, I might be willing to do it ocassionally. I want the right to do so. I've got problems to forget too.
