- Art Brighton: [in a courtroom, reading from a newspaper] Marijuana - the Assassin of Youth. The scourge of our country is reaching out like a mad killer, mowing down the youth of our land; distorting their minds and leading them into lives of degradation and crime. This evil has struck here, Your Honour, right in your own homes and has turned innocent play into tragic orgies. Why, at this very moment your courtroom is filled with smokers of this terrible weed......
- Doctor: What has your family physician told you, Mrs Barry?
- Mrs. Mary Barry: That it's the usual nervous condition of a young girl. But there's something else Doctor. I know it. And I want the truth.
- Doctor: Very well, Mrs Barry. Your daughter is a psychopathic case. She is on the verge of insanity. She has marked systems of drug addiction and I strongly believe she has been using marijuana.
- Mrs. Mary Barry: What's that?
- Doctor: A cigarette made out of a narcotic weed.
- Mrs. Mary Barry: Where would she get anything like that?
- Doctor: It's easy enough to obtain. Your daughter is the fourth case I have examined today. All young people with similar symptoms.
- Mrs. Mary Barry: [Tearfully] What will happen to her, Doctor? She'll get well, won't she?
- Doctor: With proper care, we MAY be able to help her. I'll send you a competent nurse. In the meantime, if you note any changes, call me immediately. Good day, Mrs Barry.
