SuperScrounge:
Years ago I came across a site that had scans of various old comics dealing with marijuana. Don't remember the site name or address although two of the stories were...


A Federal Men story in Adventure Comics #39 where the lead says, "Marihuana, the drug that causes the smoker to lose all moral restraint". and has the smokers rob a gas station, shoot the attendant and run over a man.

A Johnnie Law story in More Fun Comics #25 where a smoker thinks snakes are chasing him.

In the Canadian comic Active Comics there is a Dixon of the Mounted story about Dixon chasing down a man selling marihuana to an Indian tribe. I've only read the first part so far, but it runs from issues 8 to 11. A Canadian museum has scans of the comics online and links can be found at http://epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/200/301/lac-bac/bell_features_collection-ef/BellFeaturesCollection-findingaid-2016-06-21.pdf

SuperScrounge:
The Active Jim story in Active Comics #27 features pushers trying to get kids hooked on marijuana.

Someone has said there is one in Realistic Romances 016 (Avon)

srca1941:
The Airboy story in Airboy Comics vol.5 no.7 may be an interesting side note. It features Airboy used as a drug mule for a cocaine syndicate.

TheCosmicMoth:
The first two episodes of The Blue Beetle radio show also has BB taking down a drug ring. I think they're selling marijuana, but my memory of it is a little hazy. You can listen to them here: http://comicbookplus.com/?cid=2796
