Description: Two men looking at an obviously popular corner dairy shop, now bearing the name 'Tinnie house', remember that the limit of the shop's vices was hokey-pokey icecream.

The increased availability of these drugs which were not necessarily safe was raising concern. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
