Trivia

The earlier title, "Marihuana" was changed to avoid confusion with the earlier, similar anti-drug pic Marihuana. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: Despite the differing headlines on the Chicago News Press, Los Angeles Argus and the New York Express shown at the opening of the film, all three newspapers carry the exact same news stories on the front page ('Police Arrest One Hundred Ninety Eight,' 'Mayor Maps Building Plan,' 'Sidewalks Jammed' and the 'Boss Sanity Trial').
