Comment/Synopsis

The film was made as a morality tale against the evils of marijuana. Acouple sell drugs to teenagers and get them addicted. This leads to crime, manslaughter, murder, attempted rape and hallucinations. The film was made by a church but then redited to make it more salacious but kept the morality side to get round the censorship rules. It gained cult status in the 1970's and is frequently cited as one of the worst films ever made.
