Yeah, other drugs like amphetamines were far more popular.
First synthesized in 1887, the stimulant amphetamine became popular in 1920s in the medical community, where it was used for raising blood pressure, enlarging the nasal passages, and stimulating the central nervous system.
Snip...Between 1850 and 1937 marijuana was widely used throughout United States as a medicinal drug and could easily be purchased in pharmacies and general stores. Recreational use was limited in the US until after the Mexican Revolution of 1910, when an influx of Mexican immigrants introduced the habit.
By the mid-sixties, seemingly overnight, marijuana and LSD use was common across the country, especially among the young.
Are you saying that Mexican immigrants or the youth of America were the radical left counterculture? Seems to me I recall adults leading the charge of the radical left counterculture, and they weren't adult Mexicans.
Do you have anything besides this one pony show you keep throwing up? ...radical left counterculture of the 60's, this...radical left counterculture of the 60's, that.
And you say I want to return to that time? Ha! You're the one who keeps going back to that time frame, not me. I'm the one who keeps telling you to step into the current time frame.
