Drugs in Our Culture: Vintage Film Covers 1960s Drug Use in School
A clear, honest, and detailed depiction of drug use in the 1960s. Marijuana is discussed in depth, but other more socially-accepted drugs like alcohol and tobacco are taken to task as well. The film even examines possible societal influences for drug use, such as the increasing prevalence of prescription drugs and other chemical aids. The film also attacks the ever growing (and now dominant) pharmaceutical industry. Taking an even more progressive turn, drug addicts are treated as ill and in need of treatment – not prison.
