This informational publication is to be used as an aid for teachers, bringing them basic facts regarding drugs and drug abuse. Its purpose is to (1) give additional teacher background information and (2) enrich any course of study that has been developed on drug abuse. To use the material most effectively, it is suggested the teacher have an awareness of the student concept of the "establishment" and an awareness of the "hippie" subculture. Papers and/or speeches representing the opinions of various nationally recognized authorities are compiled under the following topics: barbiturates and amphetamines, L.S.D., glue sniffing, marihuana, and general information on drugs. Also included are a three-week drug abuse unit with teaching sequence, objectives, and techniques of instruction; resource materials; a glossary of drug terms and jargon, and an enlarged bibliography.
