Scooby-Doo are a gang of characters that was introduced to audiences in 1969 at a time drug culture was booming. When Hanna Barbera created the brand it was already well known for creating several family shows about animals like The Huckleberry Hound Show, Yogi Bear, The Ruff And Reddy Show and Cattanooga Cats.
They also produced several superhero shows like Space Ghost and Dino Boy, The Space Kidettes and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio. Even produced riveting shows like The Jetsons and The Flintstones.
Perhaps one of Hanna Barbera's most greatest animal shows is about a gang who travel with their dog to solve mysteries. But unlike most kids shows this one inspired a generation to use drugs some of them wind up passing away.
Scooby-Doo has been onboard in one form or another for nearly 53 years with 15 series, 45 films and 46 short films including LEGO. While each of these projects have their own variation being a different cast or celebrity cameo from John Cena to Batman and Robin.
One thing these shows have in common is their whimsical view of drug use and abuse. As well as subliminal messaging peer pressuring people into taking these drugs.
Here's why Scooby-Doo leads people to do drugs?
1. Listening to peer pressure
Scooby and Shaggy haven't been fond of following the rest of the gang into abandoned places to apprehend various dangerous criminals. Listening to harassment from your friend can't do you wrong.
2. Bribery
There are special snacks your friends feed you that let you throw your sensibility out the window and live in a world where fear, pain and death doesn't exist or at least in your mind.
3. Addiction Is Not A Problem
The problem isn't addiction but people are being groomed to that lifestyle by various figures and special snacks wouldn't have that much affect on people.
Here's why Scooby-Doo leads people to do drugs?: Part 2
Those who've watched Scooby-Doo would recognise of the members Shaggy who comes across as someone who would use and here's why:
1. Paranoia
Shaggy gets terrified whenever the gang is going to shape up people and is often scared to help alongside Scoob.
2. Munchies
One of the traits about Shaggy is his habit of eating big quantities like sandwiches and is often a side effect to Marijuana.
3. Anorexia
For each quantity he eats he usually remains skinny meaning he's likely taking ecstasy or adarool. Both of which can contribute to one's weight when abused.
4. Addictive personality
Shaggy would do anything for a Scooby snack even overcome his paranoia.
5. Overcome peer pressure
It's no surprise that he would resort to this he was probably friendless till a guy like Fred came into the picture.
Other stuff
1. No job
The gang have no jobs and it is believed that they aren't being paid to solve mysteries so they sell Scooby snacks to kids in order to repair the mystery machine on top of other necessities. It's common for gangs to use this as a form of income.
2. Scooby Snacks: An Addiction
Shaggy can't stop getting his hands on them even throwing caution into the wind.
3. Talking Dog
Scooby is not Krypto or Airbud as the gang consider him a miracle dog despite his fear of danger. He wouldn't be able to talk or get least understand the English language fluently if the gang were using drugs. The only way anyone would be convinced he can talk is through a psychedelic.
To name a dog after a possible drug remains as a mystery perhaps they had another dog they too believed could talk. But how these get people into drugs is simple peer pressure.
