Louis J. Gasnier · 68m · 16mm. Originally financed by a church group, Reefer Madness is, on the surface, a film about the dangers of marajiuana consumption.

It was directed by Louis J. Gasnier and William Parke, from a story written by Gilson Willets, produced by the Astra Film Corporation and released in weekly chapters by Pathé, starting March 18, 1917.
