The Cool Art of the Reefer Madness Era

---

Although maybe a bit on the sick side, one can't help but be impressed by the artwork that graced may (especially the Sunday Magazine sections) of many a Reefer Madness article. Where else is one going to find drawings of Devils and Demons (horns and all), enticing innocent young schoolchildren into the use of Medical Marihuana?

Even the (openly admitted to) staged photographs depicting Medical marihuana peddlers lurking around schoolyards look extremely professionally done.

Due to Internet download considerations, there is no way we can do justice to the original artwork. We hope that these few pictures at least give an idea of just how cool the artwork of the Reefer Madness campaign looked like.
