"Reefer Madness" is the title of a 1930's prapaganda film about marijuana that was shown in high schools to scare kids off of pot. It presented completely bogus facts such as "marijuana is the most addictive substance on the planet," and it showed completely fabricated scenarios of teenage murder and sex following the consumption of marijuana. The term "reefer madness," as it pertains to the film, referrs to the outrageous, permiscuous, and even dangerous behaviors that smoking marijuana supposedly leads to. The movie was made into a musical film in 2005 titled "Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical," and it is really just a satire on how the whole marijuana scare was blown completely out of proprotion. It featured outrageously hoaky acting, some of the same bogus facts as the original "educational" video, and even Zombies. Yes, I just said "zombies."
So in short, the term "reefer madness" can either refer to the irrational or immoral behaviors of those under the influence, the panic and chaos caused by the marijuana scare, or simply the prapaganda film or satirical musical.
