Health, Education, and Welfare halted two controversial reports on youth drug use. One study asserts psychedelic use can be moral, productive, and personally fulfilling, while criticizing strict enforcement as driving youths left politically. Another three volume evaluation condemns government drug education as misdirected.

Richardson reportedly locked the volumes in his office after word of disclosure.
