It was films like this that made drugs exciting as a young child.
Ya know....u r right.
Definitely. Thanks DARE!
I asked and I received. More “drugs are bad” content. Nice animation and opening score too!
It would be nice if today's drug users were this classy
We need a part two where she meets John from Narcotics: Pit of Despair and they really throw down.
The Big Guy gets 10%
Don’t forget the glue sniffers.
@@alejonin In all the PSAs, they're 10.
Cigarettes and alcohol have had more destructive effects on mental and physical health, relationships, employment and social stability than all illegal drugs combined.
@AnthroImperzia Crazy thing is, I know a few people who actually thinks hard drugs should be legal. Like you said, get all of it outta here.
@@Suddenlyits1960 For your information.. I don't smoke, drink alcoholic beverages or consume cannabis. I have never consumed any drug stronger than an aspirin. Neither do I drink beverages that contain caffeine or sugar. However I have witnessed people close to me die horrible deaths from tobacco use. I have seen close friends of mine have their health, families and employment destroyed by alcohol addiction. Making a substance legal does not make it moral. Corporate interests that promote and profit from alcohol and tobacco sales are no better than the pushers of opiates exposed in the video. As are the pharmaceutical corporations that promote products their own research has found harmful. Merely stating the facts behind alcohol and tobacco use does not make me an advocate of illegal substances.
@AnthroImperzia When they decriminalized drugs in Portugal drug related deaths and HIV cases plummeted. It's almost as if it's easier to treat addiction when addicts aren't terrified of going to prison.
@anthroimperzia3927 AND YOU ARE STOOPID!!!! LEAVE MY MARIJUANA ALONE
@anthroimperzia3927not that you asked my opinion, but I believe that we should legalize and regulate all drugs. In California we have dispensaries for marijuana . Now, if we had dispensaries for all illegal drugs, I believe that it would cut down the amount of deaths that we see each and every day from overdoses, especially those from Fentanyl
interesting how this is the most education ive received about drugs even tho i grew up with the internet. im 30 and went thru all of public school in so cal... i never was shown such a realistic film showing the reality of drugs... in health class my teacher said she was gonna do a bunch of drugs one day lmfao...
True & still Disturbing in ways... I love the abstract music & visuals feel, the melodrama tho, haha
Nice nostalgic message.
Love the drums, man.
This uses some footage from Narcotics: The Whole Truth (or something like that). That was over an hour, black and white and it wasn't exactly made for reuse like this. It was a training video for police. I'm surprised to see some of its footage and script reused.
I'm glad our understanding has improved alot of substance use disorder. Crazy how they just blame a drugs user as a personal failure and it's their fault lol.
Well, it kinda is. Using drugs is a character flaw. One we all have on one level or another unfortunately. But it's still a fact.
Yes, thank God we've evolved
She had a busy 3 days
😂😂
I served as a juror in federal drug court. I don't condone what drug trafficers do but it's amazing how ingenious and sneaky they are.
Depends on what they're selling. Cannabis nor psychedelics have ever directly killed anyone.
Them getting busted I can see why pulling into a alley sitting in the cars with the windows rolled up in warm weather . I was always one who used to score my pot and go home
I'm an old hippie mised 60's by one year !
The beginning is not perfection, the end result of the saved is perfection.
I'm the authority of my thoughts and actions
Said every addict ever. I know this film is goofy and dated, but I have lost close friends to opiate addiction.
@@devenbs1993 sorry for your loss I too have loss friends due too addiction one just got drunk and hung herself last week I see so much death it doesn't phase me anymore
Your mind is not for rent to any God or government?
Are you really? Trust me, addiction doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care about your educational level, wealth, social status, religion, colour, etc. It can (and does) affect everyone the same.
@sunshinedaydream70 yeah I know me I turn down drugs all the time I drink alcohol when I please I'm a grown man who works and I use medical cannabis for a medical reason I have a state issued card I use too be someone who used meth I simply don't I don't want too and I have a great job
Alcohol and pharmacy drugs are the ultimate gateways!!!
You are right. That’s an argument for legalization of MJ. Buying MJ from a dealer was my exposure to meth. If there was a store I could have gone to instead I’d never have seen it at a dealers house.
I learned more about how to shoot heroin than how to avoid it. Haha. This is like a junkie how-to
LOVE British pathe, they no censor me , in this Channel yes , censura in state pure
Me too, LOVE you my beby . 🎉
Nice cop car I would like an old one like that
Girl goes from alcohol to pills to reefer to shooting heroin in a week. This is a good scare flick, even teaches you how to shoot up.
....."how does this happen when the beginning is Perfection?". Wtf. As we NOW KNOW the Addict IS formed from the Family of Origin and experiences. HARDLY perfect.
they used to tell us back then, that MJ was the doorway and you would be sure to become a junkie.
I seen the needle and the damage done. N Young
😂 the Good Old Days... when America was extremely prosperous, the Music was Great and the worst problem in America was just young people wanting to be Hippies...
let's not bother to think about the other stuff regarding race at the time then lol
@@bok.. segregation was over by then
The Vietnam war, assignations, civil unrest, and let’s not forget the college students killed. Ah yes, the good old days.
@@GerstBladeworksyep, only in a matter of a couple of years everything was integrated 🙄
@@bok..you'll be ok snowflake
11:56, them cops be sniffer dogs lmao
A needle and a spoon 🥄 a trip the moon
What the hell were they smoking in the 60s.
1958.
I break the laws of physics
Just say no to drugs
How'd that work for 'Merica
@@sunshinedaydream70 quite well for those who made good decisions.

"Your affectionate mother,
Mrs Smith"
What a grim piece of propaganda. Fast forward to 2023 when any drug can be tainted with fentanyl and a few micrograms could be the hotshot that takes a life. A $100 a day habit in the early 60's is staggering. Minimum wage back then was $1.10-$1.50.
LOVE lou reed & jimbo 😅😅😅 the humanity is over
My god I thought someone got high and just let the intro soundtrack run. Wtf is going on?
I like how they say that marijuana is a step further into becoming an addict than popping pills. That's the same logic as "the homosexual and you."
this is wild hahha
I have complete control even while using substances I choose not too use them that's what makes me better
Yes, you are the better person. If I could give you a pat on the back, I would. Your complete lack of empathy shines bright and your ignorance to how complex addiction is literally burns.
Look out! You nearly fell off the curb!
Want some Bennies or Hunters
ya heroin is bad but the rest is bs...
1950 propaganda
Legalize it
Marijuana is not a drug
