Trevor L. Hughes produced <em>Hawkfrendz<\/em>, one of his several fanzine titles, in the late 1980s and early 1990s. While <em>Hawkfrendz<\/em> generally dedicates itself to discussion of the band, several of its issues take a different tack: they consist entirely of marijuana propaganda, comic strips, and advertisements, recollected and reprinted. Bearing the cover title <em>Reefer Madness<\/em>, these issues make no reference to Hawkwind beyond Hawkfrendz copyright statements. Much of the material is propaganda: some is anti-drug, here used to celebrate marijuana use by satirizing its critics, while some argues for legalization. To ease any doubt about his own position on recreational marijuana, Hughes describes <em>Reefer Madness <\/em>#2 as \u201ccompiled and collated entirely under the influence of the Devil\u2019s Weed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1947 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-1-699x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"655\" align=\"middle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-1-699x1024.jpg 699w, https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-1-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1948\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-2-300x223.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1949\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-3-709x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"469\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-3-709x1024.jpg 709w, https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-3-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1951\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"518\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/houghtonmodern\/files\/2013\/03\/Reefer-4-300x226.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reefer madness <\/em>issues from<em> Hawkfrendz<\/em>.\u00a0[Wallasey, England : Trevor L.
