Gasnier marijuana marihuana pot weed drug thriller ("Marijuana drugs, Weed from the Devil's garden!"; "One moment of bliss, a lifetime of regret!"; "Hunting a thrill, they inhaled a drag of concentrated sin!"; "Wake up America! Here's a roadside weed that's fast becoming a national high-way!"; "Women cry for it, men die for it!"; "What actually happens!"; "Never before such exciting frankness"; "A Daring Theme!"; "Dope-created ecstasy avalanching into frightful perversions"; "Makes Beasts of Men & Women"; "Adults only") starring Dave O'Brien, Dorothy Short, Carlton Young, Kenneth Craig, and Lillian Miles. Note that drug and mature movies like these were extremely popular in "late night" showings at small town theaters throughout the 1940s, and they were often re-issued and re-named multiple times. In the case of this movie, it was re-issued under titles such as "The Burning Question" and "Tell Your Children", each time with lurid images and taglines!

It is a 2-color version of a poster that was issued in the 1940s. It would seem to date from the 1960s, but that is purely a guess. We DON'T think it is from the 1970s or later, and we feel certain it is not from the 1930s or early 1940s, but it could from be anywhere in between! We are going with "1960s", so that we are erring on the side of caution, so that it can likely only turn out that the poster is even older than that. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has a few creases and very tiny tears in small parts of the borders, and it has slight darkening on the back of the edges of the borders. Otherwise, it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
