1936 Marihuana Original Vintage Poster

About the Item

This stunning poster was created in 1936 to promote Dwain Esper's exploitation film "Marihuana - The Weed With Roots in Hell". The film, which has gone on to become a cult classic, conveyed the same message as the poster - marijuana leads to shame, horror, and despair! A brilliant piece of cinema and social history, this poster depicts how far times have changed since the 1930s, with cannabis now widely legal in the USA, where this poster was produced. The poster has wonderful colour and is in mint condition, it has been backed on museum quality linen to ensure its preservation for the decades to come.
