2) What organization produced the film? Do you feel that this film was an effective method to reduce the use of the substance highlighted? Why or why not? The organization that produced this film was a small church group who contributed financially and keno International. I do not think this film was effective because I feel like this was more of a joke then an educational film. I think that they made marijuana not that big of a deal since many of adults were producing it. I just don’t think kids would’ve taken tis seriously.…

However, this film seems to be aimed mostly at adults, not the youth that marijuana is a threat to. The principal speaks directly to the camera, but addresses the adults in the audience. However, this film certainly communicates that marijuana is a frightening drug that can and will ruin lives. It clouds judgment, leading to murder, rape, and insanity. Ralph, who goes insane, is used as an example of what could happen to someone who smokes marijuana. “The film did not enjoy much success in the 1930s [but] it was revived in the early 1970s […], where it gained a real following among potheads, who took ironic pleasure from the film’s almost demented anti-drug propaganda” (Mathijs & Sexton…
I attended a Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meeting, on (fill in the blank). The person who was sharing that night was a 28-year-old woman by the name of Christine (“Chris”).

These concerns are all part of what society believes today because of what they are fed through false government research and media. The Union: Business Behind Getting High tells the truths about marijuana’s effects on health, the body, the community, the government: the society as a whole, which is why everyone should watch this documentary.…

Drugs have become one of the most controversial topics in the world. Some specific drugs are more frowned upon such as Marijuana. Marijuana is a plant in which its official name is “Cannabis”. Over the years this plant has become increasingly popular to people who don’t usually convert to traditional methods to relieve the stress of a hard day. “The National Drug Threat Assessment states that over 25.8 million individuals 12 years of age and older have smoked marijuana at least once in their life.” The rate has remained the same since 2008. The government labels these statistics as too high as they fight to keep one of the most contentious substances off the market. In 1970, Congress passed The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act .…
