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 it is sure to leave these “high heads” scared straight. Catch the colorized classic tonight, along with live performances from Pink Velvet Witch and a puppet of Coney Island’s Funny Face.
