Set to eerie music and inter-spliced with live action footage shot in and around Los Angeles, California, you’ll be shown unnerving and psychedelic imagery designed to make you think twice about abusing drugs. “Drugs and the Nervous System” was made by Spencer Peel, David Weidman, Selby Dale, Bina Grossblat, Lee Kent, Pieter Van Deusen, Robert Kaufman and Robert Churchill, and produced by Churchill Films. 00:08 Drug bottles on a shelf in a pharmacy 00:20 Animation of bacterial infection treatment in lungs, stomach and intestines 00:42 Animation of the nervous system 00:53 Boy in blue pajamas sick in bed with fever, mother comes in and administers an aspirin 01:24 Animation of aspirin
