Reefer Madness (1936) (Found Movie) (Pre-LMW)

"Reefer Madness" is a film about a fictionalized take of marijuana, a trio of drug dealers lure innocent teenagers, to become addicted to reefer cigarettes by holding parties with music. but the film had a improper copyright notice, it caused it to be locked away in the archives of the library of congress and became lost media, soon it would be found in 1972 by the founder of norml who was keith stroup, and bought a print of the film for 297 dollars which is almost 300 dollars, and he would show the film in many collages in California, robert shaye of new line cinema heard about this obscure film and went to see it on the bleecker street cinema, he noticed it was public domain, because it had a badly improper copyright notice, seeking a material for new line's college circuit, and he was able to obtain an original printing from a unknown collector, and began distributing the film nationally, In 2004, Legend Films restored and colorized a print of the film, featuring intentionally unrealistic color schemes that add to the film's campy humor. The smoke from the "marihuana" was made to appear green, blue, orange and purple, each person's colored smoke representing their mood and the different "levels of 'addiction'". Film Freak Central criticized the colorization, writing that the color choices would better suit a film about LSD than a film about cannabis.
