In 1974 CREEM published a comprehensive street guide to drugs, written by Lester Bangs and intended to show our average reader just what the various substances he/she might be ingesting would do to their body. No preaching, no happy talk; just the facts: if you're going to stick it down your throat, here's what you can expect. Seven years later, some of the drug variations have changed; drug "cocktails" seem to be the thing, a particularly deadly development as seen in the overdoses of John Belushi [heroin/cocaine "speedballs"] and James Honey man-Scott of the Pretenders [cocaine and Valium] — but the message is still pretty dire. We've gathered together some of the latest medical information, as well as the thoughts of some music personalities [serious or not-so... ] on the issue of drugs, again, with the hope of keeping our readers informed upon the subject all too close to all of us.
