The Barbara Case Preventive Drug Education Program

Case, Barbara

Published by Orinda, CA, Educational Consulting Service, 1971

About this Item

An educational sourcebook written in "layman's language" and dealing with "any and all drugs, their effects, value, legality aspects, and medical use." Prepared by Case under the auspices of the Diocese of Oakland's preventive drug education program, and written with the stated intention of reducing "the number of drug abusers in the schools." The text is permeated with typographical and factual errors (Sandoz, for instance, the Swiss pharmaceutical company for which Albert Hoffman was working when he discovered LSD, becomes "Sondiz"), as well as the expected dose of alarmist editorializing, and a chapter titled "Drug-Oriented Popular Songs," which contains transcriptions of lyrics by Jefferson Airplane and Donovan. An interesting independent attempt to collate available information about drugs and their place in American society at the end of the 1960s. Unrecorded in OCLC. Plastic comb-bound; 8.5 x 11 in.; 223pp., with glossary and bibliography + unpaginaged [7pp.] supplement at rear. Near fine, with light toning and edgewear to covers; former owner?s name and light scattered foxing to title page.
