Reefer Madness Leads to The Purple Brain

Remember the movie Reefer Madness, which has been laughed at for many a year for its outlandish portrayal of individuals who enjoy a bit of marijuana?

Well, it appears that the foolishness of that film will be carried into the 21st century with a new film titled The Purple Brain.

More than 70 years in the making, the long-awaited sequel to the notorious 1936 film, Reefer Madness has arrived. It’s called The Purple Brain, and just like its unintentionally campy predecessor, its purpose is to frighten Americans about marijuana.

The particular target audience for the Feds’ new production is the millions of parents who may have, without incident, experimented with marijuana in the 1970s, when they were about the same age as their children are today.

The plot is as follows: Sure, the pot you and your 40-something peers once enjoyed may have been innocuous, but that’s only because it bears no resemblance to the super-potent weed of today—strains with such foreboding names as “Train wreck,” “AK-47,” and “The Purple.” As proclaimed by Drug Czar John Walters recently, “[W]e are no longer talking about the drug of the 1960s and 1970s—this is [in computer parlance] Pot 2.0.”

To top off this frightening message, unsubstantiated claims of “brain damage” resulting from the use of this super-pot are new buzzwords in today’s Prevention circles.
