>I also think it was mistakely hyped as being a groovy pro-dope story, when in fact it didn't seem to be quite the anti-drugs hysteria satire which our good friends at Rebellion and 2000AD would have us believe.
Er, I think you'll find it was hyped as a cross between the anti-drugs films of the 50s-60s and the zombie b-movies of a similar era, and was promoted using the breathless "SHOCK, HORROR!" movie poster style of the time.
Er, and I may be wrong, but as far as I could tell, the story was a satire on the hysterical reaction to dope smoking (to wit, that it turns you into a monster), of the anti-drugs lobby during the 50s. And as the story seems to ridicule these people, while it might not be explicitly pro-dope, it's ridiculing the prohibition lobby far more than the hopheads.
And you can't argue that it *was* groovy, surely Milo?
