Marihuana is a 1936 exploitation film directed by Dwain Esper and written by Hildagarde Stadie. The story follows Burma, a young woman whose life spirals out of control after attending a party where she unknowingly smokes marijuana. The film portrays her descent into tragedy, including unplanned pregnancy, crime, and addiction, as a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug use. While intended as a serious warning, the film's exaggerated depiction of marijuana's effects has made it a cult classic, often viewed as unintentional satire.
