Things seemed headed towards a nice equilibrium when marijuana was the drug of choice. Revisionist history. You leave out all the OTHER drugs wandering around then- -like LSD. When I started college at Florida in 1980, for all practical purposes marijuana was legal on-campus (pretty much the same was true of my senior year in high school). Mary jane has nowhere been legal in the US in the last 80 years. When cocaine became a national pastime everything went to hell. The Colombians started killing pretty much everyone in order to control the market, people developed very expensive dependencies, and things have gone straight downhill since then. Cocaine has been around forever. Freud's earliest fame was gained by promoting cocaine as a NON-ADDICTIVE pain killer. The mountain South American Indian tribes have been using it in non-purified form for centuries. Maybe we should have focused on killing the Colombian druglords. They tried that. They won't go peacefully. And they can buy guns and bullets too.
