The studios' Production Code, written in 1930, began to be strictly enforced in July 1934 under a new Production Code Administration.[1] One of its rules was that "illegal drug traffic must never be presented".[2] Drug films left the studios to small independent producers, who toured them from town to town as warnings to parents: the exploitation cycle that produced Reefer Madness.[2]
