Actually, I read recently that it wasn't actually intended to be an anti-drug film, as so much that it was meant to be an exploitation movie, like the later movies Gone in Sixty Seconds (the original, not the Nick Cage one), Blaxploitation movies like Black Caesar, and the majority of Russ Meyer's catelogue.

They said that in the 30s,40s and 50s the idea was that as long as they put in a message decrying what it is that they're depicting, they can make it as lurid as they can. Like how the Daily Mail treats its stories decrying some sex scandel in some way.

An example of this law bendingness being used could be found in Ed Wood's movie The Violent Years (which can be seen on MST3K) which involves a bunch of upper middle class girls going out becoming armed robbers, commie saboteurs and gang rapists (yes, they rape a man offscreen after tying up his girlfriend).

The lead girl ends up dying in a prison hospital while giving birth to her victim's baby, which is sent to a home because the judge ruled that since her parents did such a BANG UP job with her, letting them take care of their grandchild is just asking for trouble down the line.

And this heartwarming tale is capped off with a warning to parents to make sure they keep their daughters under their thumbs at all times, least they go and vandalise a school (getting in a shootout with the cops in the process) and get pregnant via the dude your two friends just molested in front of his girlfriend.

Yeah, someone told me about one of those old-timey porn movies in which, after a couple does it in a number of different positions, they find out that *gasp* they're really biological siblings, separated via adoption. Which would just make some people want to watch the whole thing again, but you know.
