An examination of the recreataional and religious use of marijuana
LSD: Insight or Insanity (1967) was a short film that condemned the use of LSD and "acid". What's makes this short different than the others was the vocal narration from has been actor Sal Mineo. After appearing in some high prolific productions, Mr. Mineo has all but disappeared from the spotlight. But he not only provides a narration for this film, but he gives the viewers an added bonus. He performs the vocals of the song that plays during the end credits. What's even funnier is the fact that he comes off sounding like a curmudgeon. Talking down to the people in the movie and the youth in general. I would be bitter too if I went from REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE to narrating an anti-drug short. Sal would have one last shot in the big leagues when he played in ESCAPE FROM PLANET OF THE APES.
LSD: Case Study (1969) is another one of your anti-drug films that they showed middle school kids. This time it's about the evils of acid (a.k.a. LSD). A pretty young white girl is hanging with her new friends from high school. They drop several doses of acid and party all night long. The girl decides to get something to eat. When she receives her hot dog she's beginning to have a bad trip. She imagines that her hot dog is a little jewel troll. The hot dog also talks to her pleading with the girl not to eat her.
This 1969 film is about drug education propaganda film from the 60’s. This time the focus is on Heroin.

A 1948 informational British short with Richard Massingham. Amusing health propaganda trailer on the dangers of sneezing. A sequel to "Coughs and Sneezes".
(1969) The American Social Health Association was always experimenting with new ways to educate the public about venereal disease. They helped produce the first VD education film, "Fit to Fight", in 1918 in order to educate soldiers being shipped abroad to fight in the first World War. Although this popular TV public service announcement informs the public that everybody is susceptible to venereal disease, strangely, it also seems to imply that having VD will make you successful, attractive and happy. Also, the song is quite infectious...
Amphetamines: Case Study (1969) is another anti-drug short film about amphetamines that's about some young guy who becomes strung out on diet pills.

Whilst under the influence of "amps", he thought he could do a lot of things like fix radios and other appliances. He was taking stuff apart even though he knew nothing about repairing radios.
