[DRUGS] [LEMAR] ALDRICH, Michael R.

A Marijuana Fact Sheet, Prepared for the 21st USNSA Congress, Manhattan Kansas, August 24th 1968

[Buffalo, NY: SUNYAB LeMar], 1968. First Edition. Quarto (28cm); pink sheets, with text mimeographed in black on recto and verso, and stapled at upper left corner; 8pp. Mild handling, some very subtle toning to text edges; Near Fine.

A substantial document prepared by Michael Aldrich, head of LeMar International, for the 21st Congress of the United States National Student Association (USNSA), which from 1947-1978 functioned as the dominant national union of students in the U.S., responsible for an extensive variety of student organizing throughout its history. The contents, clearly aimed to educate, covered such topics as psychological dependence, the physical effects of marijuana, whether marijuana contributes to insanity, the commission of crimes, or leads to heroin usage, with discussion of the drugs' positive properties in comparison to alcohol usage. The document concludes with 34-point list of notes and sources, and a plug for both the LeMar Information Kit ($2.50) and back issues of The Marijuana Review. An uncommon survival, not separately listed in OCLC. 82020.
