In the 1940s, Harry Anslinger sponsored U.S. government propoganda against marijuana, including the infamous “Reefer Girls” comic book. With the slogan “Reefer Girls … They’ll do anything for another toke” and a cover illustration of a Black woman and a Hispanic woman seducing a White woman into shooting up marijuana with a syringe!

[NOTE: Reefer Girls t-shirts, featuring the original comic book cover, are available from Hempstead.]

ReeferGirls.com is transforming the Reefer Girls into positive role models for women.

The Reefer Girls story is an interactive, cooperative, on-line story. This is a cooperative story because women all of the world are invited to send e-mail with your suggestions for story ideas, plot twists, alternative threads, suggested dialog, or any changes to existing portions of the story. And, this being an on-line interactive, multiple story lines are not possible, but encouraged.

Additionally, you are invited to e-mail your own illustrations, paintings, and pictures of the Reefer Girls story (including photographs of yourself and your friends dressed up as Reefer Girls).

There are twelve Reefer Girls, each representing an archtypical woman. Most parts of the story line feature only a few of the Reefer Girls at a time.
