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.

I recall this also, only I was in the US Army Security Agency where everyone had a TS/C. Get caught with dope and you were “sent DA”, meaning transferred to the Department Of Army. Since their MOS’s were intel related Army units had little use for them other than making infantryman out of them. Without the infantry training they were mostly dead meat. One guy was dead a week after he was kicked out.
