Drugs Are Like That (1969)

A bizarre little film warning children about the dangers of drugs. The film shows children indulging in normal childhood antics like building lego and stealing from the cookie jar and then the narrator Anita Bryant warns the viewer that "drugs are like that!". 

Basically anything you might do also be dangerous, we cut to a child swinging on a rope over water which snaps, and the child ends up drowning. Drugs are like that apparently!

So it is rather strange and rather weird. Whether it would stop anyone trying drugs is doubtful. You might feel you have dropped some acid after watching it.
