Drugs, Decisions and Values

This must have been sixth grade.

On the first page, we find this mimeographed page of questions. I’m not sure if my answers were supposed to record comprehension of the material presented in class or my own opinions.

Why do you think young people and adults use drugs? Name some:

kicks
excape from reality
couriosity

Do drugs have good uses? Name some:

headaches
curing disease
lose weight

I remember lots of “don’t smoke cigarettes” messages, like this one. I remember the creepy feeling of knowing that “Hamilton Burger” was already dead of lung cancer by the time I watched it.

But where this came from, I have no idea.

I was certainly like the guy on the pedestal by Junior High. The cartoonist, incidentally, is named Virgil Partch aka “VIP”. He was in the LA Times syndicate and had a daily panel cartoon called “Big George”.
