Weird Tract Number 51: "Youth & Marijuana" by Peter C. Moore

Troy Davis writes: 

Today's entry is part of the museum's spring break celebration. This 15-page booklet published in 1978 by Forward Movement, a ministry of the Episcopal Church. The author is The Reverend Peter C. Moore. The only interesting thing about it is that it cites studies by witnesses who were called to testify before the a notorious 1974 Senate subcommittee on marijuana chaired by notorious redneck Senator James Eastland who associated marijuana use with backtalking leftists and black power militants. Eastland invited only people to testify at the hearings who held views on weed that were as backward as his own such anti-pot crusader Gabriel Nahas whose work was called "psychopharmacological McCarthyism" and "meretricious trash" by two Harvard scientists.  The other notable thing about the booklet is the funky 70's cover font.
