Easy, chudogg.

In the 60's and early 70's, there were no NH farmers to compete with.

The whole homegrown thing was in its infancy, as were you.

Dunno. Some of the GIs did have some purdy darn good connections back then. However, drugs weren't exactly hard to come by during that time period. With respect, I would have to argue that the Nam era GIs were the result of the being drafted into an unpopular military straight out of the 60's culture. Acid, various amphetamines, pot (mostly Mexican), Turkish & Lebanese hash, assorted hallucinogens, etc. were floating around my public school in abundance and they weren't coming through the local military base. Was drug use a problem? Certainly. Is depicting the 60s-70s military as stoners fair and accurate? Probably depends on the service and assignment. Other than a relatively small percentage of lower rank REMF non specialty support personnel, I have some trouble believing that many people had the opportunity to pull this off without getting shot, run over or bounced out.
