Show detail Hide detail

Television public affairs program with John Saywell as host. The program explores the new drug culture, providing a comprehensive look into the range of drugs used and their effect on youth and society as a whole. In Montreal, Hans Pohl interviews a drug dealer; three professional married men who admit to smoking marijuana on a regular base; and two young addicts who interrupt the interview to inject their daily dose of methedrine. Patrick Watson moderates a panel discussion with four experts: Leslie Fiedler author and professor of English, State University of New York; Dr. Henry Brill (Narcotics Control Commissioner, New York State); Professor Mark MacGuigan (Faculty of Law, University of Windsor); and Dr. Harold Kalant (Department Pharmacology, University of Toronto). Among the issues discussed are: difficulties in selecting appropriate legislative measures for drug control in Canada; the mental and physical effects of drugs; the consequences of the drug revolution on our society. Includes sequences on the City Muffin Boys Ltd. performing "acid" rock music, shots of two benzedrine addicts going through their first stage of withdrawal; and laboratory experiments with rats and mice under the influence of amphetamines. <60mn>
