April 20
Just say no!
Today is April 20, a
day when degenerate
druggies revel in
smoking “the pot,” as
the kids say. What
these people need is
a film that explain, in
clear detail, the dangers
of marijuana!
That film is “Reefer
Madness,” a shocking
drama about the ill
effects of that vile
weed, which is sure to
leave these “high
heads” scared
straight. See a colorized
version tonight!
