She Shoulda Said No came out in 1949, and it was another in a long line of “anti-Marijuana” exploitation films in the vane of Reefer Madness and Marihuana. It is the tale of an innocent young girl named “Anne Lester” who is trying to earn money to send her brother to college. Hollywood actress Lila Leeds plays Anne Lester, and the film was loosely based in her life and was her last film. Very loosely.

Lila Leeds was a very attractive blond actress from Kansas, who had appeared in a handful of bit parts in the mid/late 1940s. She was considered a Lana Turner look-alike and was even dating Turner’s ex-husband Stephen Crane. It appeared that Leeds could be the next big actress.
