Retro 1930's Marijuana Movie Poster Collectible Now Made Available

Phoenix Arizona

It was announced by one of this city's premier collectors and art appraisers that he was making available a rare collectible poster depicting the ravages of marijuana during the 1930's.

This rare original poster from the 1936 propagandistic movie Marihuana: The Weed With Roots In Hell was funded by the liquor industry and started the anti-marijuana hysteria eventually leading to its prohibition in 1937. The poster illustrates the central message of the film showing that the use of marijuana leads to a life of horror, shame, and despair, full of wild orgies and crime. It laughably shows that you take marijuana by injecting it with a hypodermic needle.

It is being offered in both its original and reprint lithograph.
