The Drug Panel

PBOY-5.jpg

Published in the February 1970 issue of Playboy (the same issue which featured Lucky Linda), this panel brought together the opposing figures of the drug debate, which had heightened in the years following the failure of Leary's LSD trials in both Millbrook and Haight-Ashbury to gain traction within the American consciousness. A pre-cursor to the current debates on drugs in our society today, this panel aptly demonstrates how divided Americans were over this issue, even in its earliest days. Unlike the Leary interview, Playboy allowed both sides equal footing.
