Originally released as Tell Your Children, Reefer Madness is a fictional anti-drug cautionary tale that follows a group of high school students manipulated by drug dealers into experimenting with marijuana. As the story unfolds, the film portrays increasingly exaggerated consequences, reflecting the fears and social attitudes of its era rather than modern scientific understanding.
