Top rated lines from this movie

This, I understand, could be attributed to the use of marihuana. It causes errors in time and space.

Yes, I remember. Just a young boy. Under the influence of the drug, he killed his entire family with an axe.

Honest? If you were being honest with me and honest with yourself, I'm afraid you'd tell me an entirely different story.

And more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs is the menace of marihuana.
