(1969) Drug Abuse: The Chemical Cop-out
Professional-looking and modern (for the time) 1970 government brochure telling drug users why they suck and parents what they should do. LSD use is said to be decreasing. A foreword by TV personality Art Linkletter, whose daughter Diane famously committed suicide, is of some interest. Art blames the "chemical tiger" LSD here, as he would in many places, even though evidence in this direction are non-existent. Unpaginated, maybe 20pp, some color illustrations.Source



This pamphlet was revised and republished by the Ontario Blue Cross as early as 1976.

Many more 60's drug war propaganda here.

Exists both as a 4-page and 30-page presentation. There is also an educational movie with a soundtrack vinyl record, all bearing the name "Trip or Trap". The pamphlet is from 1968.

(1971) Dope - Pusher's Drugs

32-page booklet courtesy of infamous Texas "turned-on" preacher Freddie Gage, whose supposed rapport with hippie kids made him famous in the early 1970s. He lectured extensively on the evils of dope and the hippie lifestyle, mixing Bible Belt paranoia with street-wise anecdotes, and released a few LPs under his "Pulpit In The Shadows" network. Best of all, he looked like a wiseguy crook from a Scorsese movie and has a somewhat dubious reputation. The booklet is a mix of Gage's own raps, bogus "testimonies", and drug info copied (sometimes inaccurately) from government material such as this. Source


I like the bit that says "Anyone acquainted with drug lingo knows that a 'Rainy Day Woman' is a joint or marijuana cigarette."
