It's so nice to guess at something and be right. :)

Nearly the same proportion of 18- to 29-year-olds and 30- to 49-year-olds say they've tried the drug (46 percent and 45 percent, respectively), though the number dips considerably for older Americans (14 percent of those over 50).

I came of age during that entire tumultuous period of Vietnam and flowerpower. The theatre and music group I ran with probably were earlier users at our very conservative school. I was terrified of the whole thing- I didn't even drink in college. But eventually I did smoke a few times. It was no big deal. Mostly we just sat around playing our guitars and singing. Compared to some of the frat parties I went to, I would say the far more dangerous drug was alcohol. When I left school, that was the end of that for me.
