HW: Reefer Madness (was Re: OFF: smoking etc.)

[Paul Mather]

Trying to steer this marginally on-topic, recently I had the enormous
pleasure of watching the film _Reefer Madness_ (thanks to the Virginia
Tech library), and I heartily recommend it to all!  I especially liked
the part where the floozie dives to her death out of the upper floor
window because she can bear no longer the thought of the moral
degeneration she has wrought with the evil weed!

100% realism guaranteed throughout!!

Cheers,

Paul.
