As we begin the school year, it night be interesting to look at how much
drug education--at least in the media--have "not" changed in the last 60
years. If you have a real audio player, you can listen to this original
1942 radio play entitled, "The Marijuana Plot." As you listen, note the
terminology and the implied message, both about the drug and those that use
it. Of particular interest to me was the subtle implication of the drug in
"all types" of nefarious behavior. As if to prove the old adage, "the more
things change, the more they stay the same," visit this interesting piece
of "contemporary nostalgia."
