Produced in 1968 by the Cinema Verite Co., in cooperation with NBC News, "From Runaway to Hippie" presents a critical view of the “drop-out” society. The film includes a report on drug abuse among American youth. These juvenile delinquents and their attraction to anti-establishment communities -- such as San Francisco's hippies -- are shown as an example and a warning. The film intended to present itself as a cautionary tale, demonstrating to young people the dangers of taking drugs. The film was researched and photographed by Johann Rush, written and narrated by Jack Perkins, with title music by The Truth. (The song used by the Truth was covered by Kenny & the Kasuals on the album Shades of Night, titled “Chimes on 42nd Street.”)
The film begins showing signage for Haight and Ashbury street (0:09). The following film was first shown on the NBC News Huntley/Brinkley Report as a three part special news feature (1:03). Reporter Jack Perkins appears on screen, describing what people call “hippies” (1:20). Perkins describes that the Hippie movement is mainly about: drugs, it can start with glue, and can happen quite young (1:48). A girl, Debbie is shown sniffing glue inside a brown paper bag (1:55). Debbie’s mother is shown (2:32). Debbie is shown donning a pair of old pilot goggles (2:58). A communal apartment occupied by boys for glue sniffing is shown (3:29). Perkins describes the negative effects of sniffing glue (3:53). Two of the teenagers are shown debating about what God is (4:58). One of the teens is shown crashing from glue (5:56). Perkins appears back on screen (7:23). Sniffing glue in the apartment in Dallas, Texas was the beginning for Donnie, Chuck, and Voyage, a man offered them LSD and got them addicted to it (7:50). People are shown gathered on Hippie Hill in San Francisco (8:04). Perkins states the best known brand of LSD is called Owsley, after Augustus Owsley Stanley, nicknamed the Acid King (8:38). Perkins states that San Francisco is the world’s acid market (9:02). Donnie and Chuck are shown sharing a cigarette (9:41). An old Mercedes Benz car is shown on the street (10:36). The store E.H. Vamos is shown on the screen (11:02). A wedding between two hippies is shown in a park (11:17). The preacher is a man called “Teddy Bear,” he is also a dope dealer (11:22). Perkins appears on screen again, he reads a statement on hippies by Nicholas Von Hofmann, a White House reporter (12:48). Perkins describes that hippies sometimes need to get away, to study, meditate or take dope (14:08). A commune in a cabin in the countryside, the Ben Lomond Hippie Commune, is shown (14:17). A visiting rock band (the name is never given) is shown (15:37). Drop City in Chicago is shown on screen (16:20). Perkins appears back on screen and states that “some hippies believe that the greatest allies they have in spreading dope throughout this country, is the mass media of this country” (17:22). The radio plays drug music everyday, Day Tripper by the Beatles and Little Green by Joni Mitchell (17:28). Teenagers say that the messages that people give on the media is that drugs are fun (18:08). The film ends (18:32).
Jack Perkins was an American reporter, commentator, war correspondent, and anchorman. He was dubbed "America's most literate correspondent" by the Associated Press. One of the works he is known for is Sapporo 1972: XI Olympic Winter Games, he also voiced himself as a reporter in a Family Guy titled “Da Boom” in 1999.

So back in the day, teenagers could rent an apartment with their allowance.
Now you need to earn at least $50k annually lol. This was from back in the day when landlords was a mom and pop operation. Now corporations own the whole industry.
Yep, I earned never more than minimum wage in the late '70s and could do the same, with plenty of cash left over for street drugs.
They stole our American dream from us. This is bull shit.
My parents rented an apartment to a girl still in high school and her boyfriend.

I hope that they were good tentants. They were probably more mature than a 30 year old of today. 🫤
“Are you addicted to sniffing glue? No, I’m stuck…” Townes Van Zandt
good one......
None of my druggy friends of the 1970s-80s ever thought of sniffing glue.
I grew up in Dallas during that time. Never invited to or even heard of a glue party. Maybe I just wasn’t popular enough.
Those Dallas hippies
It was more of an urban legend, like smoking banana peels. A few tried it but it a real bummer.
That glue is really far out
It would appear that you were not - I mean these cats were cool!
So these kids are just acting this is all bullshit?
I was on my first overseas assignment on Okinawa. I got a letter from Mom. This is what it said. "All I ever hear is kids taking dope. What every you do, please do not get started on it." Me being wasted on dope scared her more than me coming home in a body bag.
Damn. Thanks for sharing that
They just said glue was the gateway drug leading to marijuana use.
There was a hobby shop that sold models in my town in the seventies, and they always kept the model glue behind the counter.
I mostly came for the soundtrack. I love the way reporters from the 60/70s spoke.
I was born in 68 so this film is kind of trippy! Grandfather would walk me to school and tell me to stay away from all the hippies lying on the sidewalk in front of the post office every day. There was an older boy who lived in my building, his name was Clark. One day, I saw his mother throwing away his stuff, models and magazines, and what not. I asked her why and she broke down and told me he had been killed in Vietnam. We both cried. My uncle Joe was KIA too. "Never forget"! I pray we don't go to war with China, Russia, or any other adversary.
@@TugIronChief Try 1975.
@@TugIronChief What difference does that make? The young man would still have been dead whenever his mother decided to throw his things away.
I grew up in the Haight Ashbury, too. Page and Clayton street.
So sorry to bust your protected bubble but, it's prophesied in Revelation 7: 1-3 that once the 4 angels release the 4 winds we will have disasters coming from all directions, north, south, east and west. That's a world war (3).
Currently their are nine countries with nuclear weapons, China, Great Britain, India, France, Pakistan, Russia, Israel, America and North Korea.
This is fire reserved for Judgment Day, 2 Peter 3: 5-7. There hasn't been any nuclear war because the 4 angels are holding it back.
But it's been about 78 years now, how much longer do you think they will keep holding it back?
@@characterunderconstruction5891 Be quiet.
@@characterunderconstruction5891 have you been huffin glue? .......wtf are you on about?....jeebus christ.
I wonder if those kids ever picked a good day to quit sniffing glue.
I wonder if they watched gladiator movies
Airplane ✈️😂😊
The start of SF's downhill slide.
SF was a conservative city with lots of working class families back then. 1st-2nd generation immigrants. They were just slammed by all those junkies moving in.
You need to read up on The San Francisco riot of 1877, a three-day pogrom waged against Chinese immigrants in San Francisco,
Now you can not walk without stepping in human poo.
They been moving heroin n coke out west even before those times
This film itself was a trip.
My brother remembers me saying, about some of my teenage contemporaries who abused a lot of drugs, "Oh well, that means less competition to get into med school, but the downside is that I will probably end up supporting some of them with my tax dollars if they fry their brains."
It depends on which kinds of drugs - but a shitton of med students get wasted on alcohol each weekend, which is objectively very harmful. They would be much healthier if they would vape weed. The medical reports don't lie. Addiction is a risk with both alcohol and weed, but weed detoxing will not result in violent seizures like alcohol detoxing does.
In my country there's no opiate crisis with its associated deaths and crime, because people have fairly free access to weed.
I bet you're a hoot at parties
I remember getting down to just stems and seeds, but never resorted to glue!
If you're old enough to remember and survived, "Airplane Dope" was what a lot of "dopers" started with for a fix. Mom and Dad were in their gin soaked soiree and could care less what the kids were doing so long as it didn't embarrass the family. "Johnny's a good boy, loves making model airplanes."....yeah, right...just the can of "dope".
Beats getting drafted and sent to 'Nam... 🤷♂️
Owsley -- Legend!
It's interesting this film was made just as communes were becoming a thing. The announcer wondering what will become of them.
If only Tex, Red, Sadie, et al had seen this movie…
The seeds of our current 100,000 overdose deaths per year.
Does glue come from China, Fen does by way of Mexico.
We live in such a restricted society that people look for any way to escape, and it's always been drugs and alcohol
Actually pharma is the cause with non-addictive Oxycodone, killing most people.
Back then the only drug that was potentially lethal was heroin.
@@strengthandbulkMadness Speed kills.
Music by The Truth; later known as Fleetwood Mac.
Wrong.
@@spiritof6663 which “The Truth” is this? Was trying to figure it out
Remember those clothing styles back in 64 to 71 .
1968 was a rough time for me , my uncle was kia in SouthVietnams Central Highlands midMarch , 1968 , tail end of bloody TET , 2wks b-4 my 11th bday .
I remember seeing a chemical recipe for LSD written on the bathroom wall at a community college. I attended in Oregon. Also, the chemical precursors to methamphetamine is not that hard. That's why the world is screwed up with drugs 💩
Brewing alcohol is trivial. That's why the world is screwed up with drugs.
@@mikelieman Heck atleast meth has a clinical use in treatment of ADHD, Narcolepsy and stroke recovery.
Show me where alcohol is required
@@therideneverends1697 its required so that i dont go off and -ill people....... jus sayin.
Hold up. I'm 2 minutes in & he said Debbie was 13, has an allowance & rents an apartment? Please don't tell me parents actually were that gullible to believe this when it aired??🤣😅
I can't believe how indulgent the parents are.
With your host, judgy square
The Beatles got Ousley and we got St Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Much of this stuff can come off as corny, but most all of us know someone who has suffered due to alcohol and drug abuse.
I have known several people that died because of alcohol and/or hard drug abuse. Never known anyone to die or even get addicted to weed, no matter how much they smoked.
Don't be a Debbie Downer, maaaaan
@@BC-cp8nv
I am baked, 24/7, and have been so for years. if I don’t have THC, I start sweating. 😬
@@EYE_GOTCHA get help.
They “pooled their allowances” to rent an apartment. Now you need 3-4 roommates working full time jobs to afford an apartment in San Francisco .
Don't sniff glue, kids. Stick to LSD and pot.
Ahh, yes. The free LSD samples. Oh, and the hippies taking pot. Whew! 😲😂🤣
Didn’t know they hired Agent Smith to narrate this. Was this before he was disconnected from the Matrix?
“All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face, they joined the human race, some things will never change “
Steely Dan is awsome.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@countdown2xstacy Is there gas in the car?

Yes there’s gas in the caaaar
I love these type of videos. To be truthful these type of films kept me from doing most drugs in the 1970s and 80s. I'm glad I didn't. I saw drugs ruin and kill a lot of my school. BTW does anybody know what Perry Como song he was talking about?? It's amazing how Asia can control its drug issues but the rest of the world can't.
Asia cant control their drug issue, Thailand, the Phillipines, Korea, and Japan all have huge rates of methamphetamine abuse
Grew up around that time, you didnt have to go to cali for any of that stuff
I like how he says "DOPE" like a fuggin Boss!
I grew up during the 60's. It was quite a time! Many of my Jr HS mates were sniffing and some used the needle. Many of us were either tripping on acid or smoking weed. LSD was the first 'drug' I took at age 12. I occasionally smoke weed in my happy retirement. This man both wrote & narrated this film. He has total content control so...consider the source. Just my opinion.
2:33 Debbie is now an esteemed and established state senator from the Democratic Party
So these are the people who ruined my childhood model building career.
Yeah, the glue sniffing was pretty bad and then we moved on to the huffing the air cans in the computer age, they're always going to find some way to get high if that's what they want to do. Sad 😭
this makes drugs sound cool and awesome
Anyone know where i can get some glue from the 1950s? Also that girl had the apple vision 3d version 0.5!
There is nothing to do in TEXAS but, Huff Glue..LoL
I grew up in this era there's a lot of truth in this video i was there
Wait WHAT The Beatles were singing about drugs?
"FROM RUNAWAY TO HIPPIE" - sounds like a film with a happy ending, honestly.
It's all about the Dope
Debbie, are you watching this in 2023? What happened, maaan! Sorry about the death of your father. That's a heavy trip. :(
I wondered the same. What happened to her. Based on her trajectory I do not have high hopes.
she most likely got into harder drugs and probably made it into the early 80s if she was lucky
She died duh she was on dope
How did that guy know my huddled masses were yearning to breathe pot?
Well, at least they weren't cutting off their own junk . That's what's being pushed by the media today.
We have come so far! Now they can’t come.
@@dentalnovember@Thatcreep Nathan I bet y'all actually believe that's what happens. If you want to learn something, perhaps google vaginoplasty. And yeah, they can have orgasms. The surgery is a little more involved than just chopping it off.
Not here to argue about it, and won't.
@mollybell5779
Molly I will pray for you. I hope you find peace and repent.
@@dentalnovember Thank you for your prayers, and I'll pray for you as well.
@@mollybell5779 Their ignorance is dangerous! The whole LGBT movement began in 1969, when a group of drag queens and transsexuals fought back against police brutality in NYC and it spread to LA and San Francisco. I am so very grateful for those American heroes and the people who supported them! God Bless you Molly!
Boomers 👍
I was always a Hippie hater. 1968 up to now...can't stand dirty Hippies.
I'm not in favor of doing drugs like what was shown here but let's not forget the worst legal drug that has h
Done the most damage and continues to wreak havoc on families..yes..I'm talking about alcohol..funny this program didn't mention a thing about it
Ah yes...the good ol god is a chair conversation. Classic
Ahh,the good old days!
Their frontal brain lobes are not fully developed...and may never be.
Born '65 My G'Pa used to say cut my hair don't be a hippie when I was growing up.
I had a ball growing up in the Haight . . . . A "Eight-Ball."
And of course Spanada wine.
17:50 "Johnny, I don't want you listening to that druggy Perry Como anymore!"
that's some pretty good glue they had back then. Not like the cheap stuff they got today
Debby from Dallas. Lol
That was the trauma which enabled her future adult career.
Comedy gold
Well, that was weird.
my balsa wood model airplane was a severe addict. i guess that made me the pusher.boy. i was 8
I was seven back then
Could only afford the 10 cent model.
My older brother got the one with the propeller and rubber band. Think it had landing gear too. Oh the good 'ol days!
Ask Sydney Gottlieb about the counter culture. This was part of the plot to peak interest in drugs back then. Look at it now. The drug war at its finest.
It's important to remember not to fly too close the sun.... old story
Well this aged well..
The threat was real and far worse than anyone could have imagined.
These kids are cool.
Yeah, I'd hang out with Debbie and her friends lol
Poor guys and gals look back on this video and say WHAT WAS I THINKING. 🙄🤣 So SAD what drugs have done to this world.
For sure - it’s a good thing to be a slave to the system and never deviate from the norm of society. You can look back on your younger years and say “I did what I was told and never questioned anything.” It’s guys like you that make me think real NPC’s exist.
Mission accomplished for the mass media
Damn kids and their long hair and beatnik music.😮
So...DRUGS...............
I wonder if these guys are still alive.
I see not mudh has changed in S.F.
This is a CIA production. Kids acting high. All to promote.
Hippies were into Smack just as much as acid .
Nooooo, not hippies!
REEFER MADNESS !!
Thoes were the days! Where 3 ten year Olds could afford an apartment. Also a time when your parent dies and u were just supposed to stuff thoes feelings down and not talk about it.
These are your grandparents!
Nope, mine were too busy picking crops.
Acid has never interested me at all I'll stick to weed or drinking
Well that was scary alright. Kind of like "it"s a wonderful life" if Scooby Do got whacked by a g g g g g ghost!!!.
“Huffing glue can cause blindness” just keep the glue out of your eyes ya bozo
@2:30, Boomers are still like this. Neat how things never change.
This was the war time children - during and right after WW2 the government instructed fathers never to kiss or hug boys because they would turn soft ( check it out if you don't believe me) so the majority of boys from that era grew up without father love and they turned hippies , that generation didn't have love so as they got older they directed their hate to any authority and the military, Charles Manson was a perfect example.
I mean its entirely resonable, if you can identify something that hurt you growing up, to not want others to suffer from it.
Personally, I love geeking out on LSD.
don't forget the glue The glue
LSD is all fun and games, until you get too introspective and depressed, keep it up and you'll see what I mean. That's why I quit. Too many people have jumped out of buildings, off cliffs, and bridges, thinking they'll fly away and escape. And we know this, because they'll tell people first! Don't let it be you!
@@markcollins2666 im already past my wild days of hedonistic drug use but thanks for the warning.
And look at us now. The counter culture must be so proud.
The narrator is too damn serious. He needs to dose out and go into the woods to gawk at the trees for 12 hours.
Jack Perkins nooooooo
unglued
Debbie anit no 13! More like 16! Her mom needs to quit being navie!
Do you see what happens when you you don't have a father. F ing glue sniffing 😢 I m serious! You can tell from my glue sniffing emoji 😢
We can blame the hippies for the people we have today....... the hippies children
Democrats?
1. Did not see a single fat hippy, here.
2. This narrow black tie square is right.
In the 60's, even people completely out of their minds weren't fat. So, what's our excuse?
Love this it’s so funny. Drugs aren’t bad it’s what you do with them
Just as long as you don’t hurt yourself or others, it’s a-ok
They made it sound like we had to leave Dallas and go to CA just to get weed or lsd back in the day. That’s hilarious.
Use drugs its so lovely and modern

"Guns aren't bad it's what you do with them"
Thanks God for the second amendment
Smartphones aren't bad - it's just what you do with them.
What a foolish comment.
The narrator sounds like a right confomist.
At a left wing news organization. Propaganda!
If the commentator would spend a couple of months living the life, perhaps he wouldn't have the Edgar J Hoover outlook.
maybe he could also be a gay homo that cross dresses
Drivel
If you watch this propaganda movie high, it's even funnier
The entire thing is a joke until you get to the last spoken line and realize it's true!
