In 1955 I graduated from a very large high school. My graduating class size was about 945. I knew nothing about drugs nor did anyone else I was associated with. The punks from the sixties popularized drug usage and created the large demand we have now. I think anyone could look at the statistics of drug usage before the and after the sixties and see the difference.

Those who try to compare alcohol with drug usage forget that you can drink alcohol without the desire to get high.

Which doesn't say much for the idea that laws can significantly affect drug usage.

Hardly anyone drank alcohol without the desire to get high when that drug was illegal.
