1960s Drug Education Film

When I was in Junior High School, I used to have to watch these drug scare films. They were outdated even for our day. We never got anything new and hip - just old and hippie.

The trips these hippies went on were pretty psychedelic and FUNKY MAN! I wonder if the Peter Max like imagery of some of these old films ever turned kids off to reality and ON to drugs.

I have a friend that said he started using drugs after his mom and dad gave him anti-drug literature to read. The anti-drug reading materils just got him curiouser and curiouser - and he then down the old rabit hole he went. Don't worry - he eventually found Jesus and came out the other end okay.

Even though these outdated films were cheesy - I still liked them because if we were watching a dumb movie, meant we were not doing real school work.

Just remember to keep away from LSD kids - be smart and STAY OFF THE GRASS!!!
