Otto Moulton has been honored many times for his work with children and his work in drug prevention, including recognition by the White House and the State of Massachusetts who proclaimed January 17, 2003, "Otto Moulton Day." Otto dedicated much of his life and wealth to educating anyone who would listen about the social destructiveness of illicit drugs and about those promoting drug use.
Through his work with children Otto saw first-hand what devastation drugs could do to young athletes, but it was not until he came across a copy of High Times magazine, the counter-culture publication that promoted drug use and civil disobedience, that he realized that a cadre of drug-using pseudo-intellectuals were insidiously recruiting children to their cause, posing a greater threat than drug dealers. To expose these charlatans Otto attended their conferences, audio and video-taped their presenters, and bought their wares for his ever expanding library.
Otto was a unique individual who was not only dedicated, and determined, but his wealth of knowledge about all issues related to psychoactive and addictive drugs remains unparalleled. Over the years he shared this information with others working in drug prevention, regularly sending out "Otto Bombs" - packets filled with books, tapes, videos, and other documents designed to help bring those working in prevention and law enforcement up to speed on the latest drug issues and counter-culture figures. There was never an expectation of reimbursement, only the hope that whoever received the packet would join in exposing the drug culture and help stop them from seducing our children.
