Erowid Online Books : Mickey Mouse on Speed: 'Mickey Mouse and the Medicine Man'

The following mini comic book was part of a promotional collaboration between Walt Disney and General Mills. It features Mickey and Goofy, two distinct psychoactive drugs, surreptitious dosing, a bad shaman, and a "talking" elephant. When it was first produced, it was one of an 8-comic set that cost 15 cents plus one Wheaties-brand cereal box top.

It is one of several psychoactive drug-related uses of Disney characters that in retrospect appear naive and inappropriate. This commercial, drug-positive use of characters designed for children raises a number of issues of historical interest.

If the above appeared as a children's cartoon today, it would cause a moral panic

Heheh I actually thought it was a dumb cartoon When you look back at it though drug use galore, what a pill popper. Just like pop eye and his steriod laced spinach.
