Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Released during the final wave of pre-rock'n'roll anti-drug hysteria, when marijuana was legally conflated with heroin in public messaging.

Trivia

Star Lila Leeds was arrested for actual marijuana possession in 1948; this exploitation quickie was literally her punishment/comeback vehicle. Hollywood, baby!
