One Sheet (27" x 41") | MARIHUANA (1936) | x

The posters for this film are rare since it wasn't shown in major theaters. Despite the film's focus on the dangers of marijuana, the poster features explicit references to heroin, depicting a syringe marked "misery" and six marijuana joints identified as dangerous substances.

When Dwain Esper produced this film, that was the message he was conveying: that marijuana was addictive after one puff and would lead to heroin addiction. The lead character, a teenage girl, goes from smoking marijuana on a beach one night to getting pregnant and becoming a heroin dealer who is forced to give up her baby for adoption. It is one of the true cult classics of the 1930s and became far more prevalent on college campuses in the 1960s for its outdated depiction of the then-illegal substance.
