FIRST federal cannabis law (1937 Marihuana Tax Act) 🎬 Reefer Madness

By 1937, over 30 states had outlawed cannabis without a prescription. That same year, the Roosevelt administration—ironically known for saying “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”—passed the Marijuana Tax Act. While not an outright ban, the law made cannabis nearly impossible to access, imposing a $100-per-ounce tax (about $2,000 today). At the same time, propaganda films like Reefer Madness, Marijuana, and Assassin of Youth flooded theaters, portraying cannabis users as violent and insane. This fusion of fear and film cemented cannabis as a national menace. Clipped from Episode One of the Dazed and Confused Podcast. About the Podcast: Dazed and Confused explores the turbulent history of cannabis in the United States—from its criminalization to its medical rebranding and reemergence as a legal commodity. Told across major eras—Era of Madness, War, Medicalization, and Legalization—each episode blends historical archives, AI-narrated storytelling, and cultural analysis to examine the policies, panics, and power struggles that shaped the modern War on Drugs. If you’ve ever wondered how a plant went from pharmacy shelf to felony charge—and now to dispensary counter—this is the story. 🔔 Subscribe for future episodes that mix history, policy, and a little paranoia. 💬 Drop a comment.
