You say you graduated from high school “around that time.” Do you mean in the ‘70s? If so, I can understand it. My brother graduated in ‘72 and MJ had hit the schools by then, but in 1969, no. I didn’t hear about Woodstock until the movie about it came out a couple years later.

I graduated in 1959, went into the army a week after graduation. MJ was in use then by a couple troopers in my outfit, in school no one I knew used it in my school(we were a rural school with few students) but city schools(such as in LA) had many using it and it's use was growing. The use of LSD, MJ and Amphetamines and other drugs was rampant in the 1960s and grew worse as the 60s progressed, by 1969 a huge portion of the teens and young adults were using. It was a large problem with the troops in Vietnam in the 60s and 70s. As the man said: Ever here of woodstock?
