This humorous anti-drug shirt spoofs the famous logo of the Ghostbusters franchise, and instead reads "Crackbuster". The back of this shirt meanwhile reads, "crack kills", an anti-drug slogan that was used in a 1987 public service announcement starring LeVar Burton of Reading Rainbow and Star Trek: The Next Generation. These kinds of campaigns were common in the 80s, particularly after Nancy Reagan launched the "Just Say No" campaign.

Crack Cocaine was the new hot drug on the scene in the early 80s. Its affordability made it especially popular among impoverished neighborhoods across the US. Not only that, but it was cheaper and easier to produce than other drugs, making it an accessible drug to sell and profit from. As the "crack epidemic" swept America, concerned citizens responded with anti-drug promotions like the ones featured here.

Fits like a modern unisex adult small.
