The Drug Beat: A Complete Survey of the History, Distribution, Uses and Abuses of Marijuana, LSD, and the Amphetamines

NY: Cowles Book Company, 1969. First edition. Octavo, 8.5 x 5.75 in.; xxii, 278pp., with glossary at front and index at rear. With an afterword by Stanley Krippner. Black cloth boards, yellow spine lettering; in dust jacket. Mild dust soiling to top of the lightly toned textblock. Else about fine in a very good, unclipped ("$6.50") jacket with moderate foxing to spine panel, wear and some short closed tears at head of spine.

A clean and reasonably presentable copy of this conversational but surprisingly information-dense overview of the social histories and contemporary uses of marijuana, LSD, and amphetamines at the height of the hippie era.
