Effects of Marijuana on Perception and Performance
Bill's Lawyer:
Did you, during the last three months, notice any changes in the demeanor and attitude of your student, William Harper?
Dr. Carroll:
Yes, in a number of things. For example, at times a disassociation of ideas. In another instance, I happened to attend the recent interscholastic tennis matches. And while Bill Harper had been considered an exceedingly good player, I saw him miss the ball by as much as three or four feet. This, I understand, could be contributed to the use of marijuana. It causes errors in time and space.

Insanity Defense in Marijuana Case
Prosecuting Attorney:
Your Honor, in this case the State waves the trial of the defendant, Ralph Wiley. It is convinced that he is hopelessly and incurably insane - a condition caused by the drug marijuana, to which he was addicted. It is recommended, your Honor, that the defendant be placed in an institution for the criminally insane for the rest of his natural life.

The Dangers of Marihuana Addiction
Opening Scroll:
The motion picture you are about to witness may startle you. It would not have been possible, otherwise, to sufficiently emphasize the frightful toll of the new drug menace which is destroying the youth of America in alarmingly-increasing numbers. Marihuana is that drug - a violent narcotic - an unspeakable scourge - The Real Public Enemy Number One! Its first effect is sudden violent, uncontrollable laughter; then come dangerous hallucinations - space expands - time slows down, almost stands still... .fixed ideas come next, conjuring up monstrous extravagances - followed by emotional disturbances, the total inability to direct thoughts, the loss of all power to resist physical emotions... leading finally to acts of shocking violence... ending often in incurable insanity. In picturing its soul-destroying effects no attempt was made to equivocate. The scenes and incidents, while fictionized for the purposes of this story, are based upon actual research into the results of Marihuana addiction. If their stark reality will make you think, will make you aware that something must be done to wipe out this ghastly menace, then the picture will not have failed in its purpose... . Because the dread Marihuana may be reaching forth next for your son or daughter... .or yours... .or YOURS!
