COOL man, but what’s a “drug patient”?
Pam, this was a late night post for me and I was frittering about how to include the words “Psychedelic,” “art,” “teenage,” “drug,” “1970s,” and “Germany” in one sentence. This is what came out!
I see your dilemma! 🙂
The German publisher uses the term literally: Drogenpatienten. In this case the images were collected by a single doctor, but the Germans use the term generally to mean a drug user in rehab.
I can’t think of a direct translation in English.
