Quoting Sal
I grew up during the 70's, one of the decades you refer to. You are right that there were many ODs and deaths back then. I could name a few people that either OD or got bumped off as the gangs and organized crime saw a lucrative, growing industry.

The drug industry was new.The drugs would come in from the States and get cut here. Dealers toted guns and hit up. I know the culture from then. It was akin to the wild west, very much a free for all. But that is not the same as now.

Guess you would not favour my idea of all drugs becoming legal and controlled like alcohol.
Actually, I would be in favour of pot, but I don't think addictive drugs should be legal, unless they are part of a medical/psych treatment program.

I remember once I went with my brother to his buddies house, and they were capping(putting dope in gel caps) something or another and they would keep licking their fingers in between caps, 20 minutes later they were so loaded they couldn't get off the couch.

Personally I don't feel that pot is addictive, and it really has not been proven like it has with tobacco and liquor and many other over the counter drugs and trust me the side effect of it compared to most all of the Pharm's drugs makes you wonder who is in control of the FDA.
