Visit Visit our website This anti-drug film from 1971 attempts to debunk anecdotal arguments made in support of the drug LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) and other psychedelic drugs. Hosted by singer-songwriter Tommy Roe (best known for his hits “Sheila” and “Dizzy”), the film features teens having scripted conversations about their opinions and experiences with psychedelic drugs. The conversations are first shown truncated, leaving the viewer to believe that what is being said is declarative or empirical, but then the same footage is later shown in its entirety, revealing that the opinions beings expressed are unfounded or incomplete. Based on the locations seen and referenced, and the accents of the teens speaking, this film was shot in and around New York City. Narrated by Tommy Roe, Executive produced and written by Max Miller, produced and directed by Noel Nosseck, an Avanti/Direction
