Thanks for the summary.
Drugs can destroy civilizations, so my years of ranting about drug use (Marijuana=gateway) are justified.
Vietnam-era Marijuana put the US on the pathway to Leftism, whose effects have produced today’s profound cultural divisions.
I was made to wait an hour at an attorney’s office with a stenographer. After 15 minutes of silence, the stenographer told me the attorney met her boyfriend every afternoon for a cocaine session. She went on to say, “I’m of Cuban heritage, but I don’t do drugs.” That admission drove me to realize how very rampant cocaine-use was in Miami, and like Communism, a drain on our economy and a poison spread throughout our collective psyche.
During Vietnam, the U.S. Navy rejected marijuana users from Top Secret access. I was fortunate to have a successful and productive stint while serving—surrounded by like-minded Patriots with whom I still meet after 56 years.
