re: #215 Barefoot Grin
Statistically speaking* 80% of the kids in my high school of 1200 students in the 1970s had smoked pot at least once. Heroin addiction was not a thing.
Statistically speaking, probably 95% of heroin addicts drank beer or some other form of booze before they ever tried marijuana, much less hard drugs. Close to 100% drank milk at one time or another. And a flat 100% drank water. Christ, those gateway drugs are everywhere.
