Reefer Madness is a 1936 propaganda film. The film was intended to be a cautionary tale warning parents about the supposed dangers of marijuana use. However, its over-the-top depictions of marijuana's effects and its melodramatic tone have since made it a cult classic, more comedy than cautionary tale.

The original Reefer Madness warned us that teenagers would smoke a little weed and go completely bananas. Turns out, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick doesn’t need to smoke anything—he’s gone full bananas just thinking about it.

This week, Patrick put out a statement, claiming that in the upcoming session, he would ban all forms of THC in Texas.
