"A young woman’s troubles begin when she befriends some drug dealers who invite her to a party at their beach house. Of the kind of films so bad that they have to b seen to be believed, Marihuana: the Devil’s Weed is actually genuinely one of the better ones. From master of the early exploitation kind Dwain Esper comes a film that could be seen as the most solid representation of his unique and underground style of filmmaking, although this can hardly be considered the style of a praiseworthy auteur."
