Reefer Madness

Reefer Madness, the musical, is a political satire piece based on the 1936 propaganda film of the same name. It exacerbates various ridiculous notions of what could happen when clean-cut kids fall prey to a new "deadly" drug menace, marijuana. Presented as a "show within a show", the community is welcomed to witness a dramatic re-enactment of "true" events and left exploited by propaganda's greatest tool: fear. And how are these themes still relevant today?
