1934
NARCOTICS AND YOUTH TODAY - by
Robert E. Corradini Pub:
- The foundation for narcotics Research and information, Inc.
150 5th Ave. New York, N.Y. High
School Text Book - 1 star Reefer Madness rating: This book was
originally written as a high school textbook for teachers and students.
It deals mostly with alcohol, tobacco, and narcotics in general (with Marihuana
thrown in as a minor narcotic).
In fact less than a whole page is devoted to Marihuana; as such it
verily qualifies as a Reefer Madness book.
However, what is interesting about the book is how it develops its
arguments against narcotics in general. These
same arguments would soon be used in the fight against the medical marihuana
plant. 1936

- Merchants of misery
- by
J. A. Buckwalter Pub: - Pacific Press Publishing Association Mountain View, Ca. High
School Text Book - (intended for teachers and parents) 4 star Reefer Madness
rating: - A latter day,
reefer madness era (copyright 1956) book originally meant as a resource, on
narcotics in general, for high school teachers, librarian's etc.
In fact it is surprising, given its late publication date, that such a
book would still be using language like" "A person under the influence of marijuana is exposed to the
unpredictable effects of ***
Because of this vicious tendency experienced by some, it has been called
the 'Killer drug.'" And although, only a few pages are devoted exclusively to
marihuana, reference to it can be found throughout the book.
All the old myths are there also, the Assassin's myths, the
"marihuana distorts your sense of time myth, the marihuana as a starter
drug myth etc. Be prepare for terms
like, "The Marihuana Addict," instead of "The Medical Marihuana
Patient" etc. 1938
