Of Course, 1984 was written in 1948, so it predated Lucas' THX1138 by a couple of decades. Still, in THX1138, the main character goes rogue and wanders past an area where a number of young males are playing. They all have vials strapped to their arms and apparently permanent IV hardware. Suffice it to say, drugging youth got picked up in more than one place.
