    This anti-drug film from 1972 uses abstract and modernist animation styles and techniques to depict the effects of different drugs (both legal and illegal) on the human brain and body. Set to eerie music and inter-spliced with live action footage shot in and around Los Angeles, California, you’ll be shown unnerving and psychedelic imagery designed to make you think twice about abusing drugs. “Drugs and the Nervous System” was made by Spencer Peel, David Weidman, Selby Dale, Bina Grossblat, Lee Kent, Pieter Van Deusen, Robert Kaufman and Robert Churchill, and produced by Churchill Films.

    Every description of every drug in this film is spot on. Right down to nicely advising paranoid Schizos and LSD. this is the education I got in 8th grade. It worked well for my generation. DARE failed, and now every other kid is prescribed speed or psych meds. Both give kids drug induced euphoria ala THX1138

      I think Periscope Films restore & preserve the films, not make them (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong)
      A good place to dig deeper if you enjoy these classics would be the Prelinger Archive. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of similar out-of-copyright films there made by many different production companies.

    I remember seeing this film in the sixth grade, in the 1970-71 school year, so I know it had to be released around that time,not in 1972.

    Idk why they call these "scare films" like besides for weed these old films hit the nail on the head, literally today in America the number one killer among young Americans is opioid overdose. Like literally every major city has started experimenting with having areas where they don't enforce drug laws (mass Ave in Boston, civic park in Denver ect) and it's not like everything was just all right and the problems disappeared when persecution seized, in fact it was the opposite. It created something almost equivalent to Brazil's favelas here in the United States

      @PompierCanadien Your reply seems to attribute to me all sorts of activities & behaviors which are based on nothing but your own desperate need to feel superior. You even insulted me!
      It may surprise you to learn I am not a cigarette smoking alcoholic willing to kill for my morning coffee!
      Surely you can see I was actually implying those things are not great choices if one wants to live a long, healthy life?!
      Edward De Bono once said, "Humor is by far the most significant activity of the brain".
      One can only assume, since you don't seem to understand irony or sarcasm, that the activity in your brain involving a sense of humor has given way to the terrible feeling that you're not good enough, causing you to lash out at strangers for daring to make a joke.
      I pity you.
      At least, I would if I weren't laughing at you so hard!

      @@viennapalace Haven't lost anything. These doctors knew the dangers of smoking and alcoholism at this time and if you did your research you'd find documentaries just like this from the 70s and even decades before. It's just that today the relevant subject is drugs. Get your facts straight.

    • @viennapalace

      Seriously? What facts?! What on Earth are you picking an argument with me for?
      It was a joke! You know, humor...? Do they have that where you come from?
      I admit sarcasm is the lowest form of humor but you are literally trying to make yourself appear intelligent by picking a fight with someone that made a quip, a smart arse comment, a joke.
      What's wrong with you? Is you life such a struggle that the only way to feel good about yourself is to pick holes in other people's stupid comments?
      I'm still laughing but it's a sad laugh...
