This "DVDTee" includes both a DVD of Reefer Madness (1963), and a tee shirt featuring the original poster art. Reefer Madness, starring a cast composed of mostly unknown bit actors, was originally financed by a church group and made under the title Tell Your Children. It was intended to be shown to parents as a morality tale in an attempt to teach them about the dangers of cannabis use, however, soon after the film was shot, it was purchased by producer Dwain Esper, who re-cut the film for distribution on the exploitation film circuit. The film never gained a large audience until it was rediscovered in the 1970s and become a piece of unintentional comedy among cannabis smokers and today is considered to be an iconic cult exploitation film. Watch for one of the film's most famous and over-the-top sequences where Blanche offers to play some piano music for Ralph; they are both very high, and as Ralph eggs her on, she increases her playing speed to a manic cartoon-like tempo.
