Beer was the drug of choice and was considered a right of passage.
Beer and cigarettes were the "drugs" of choice when I was in school. I grew up in a small Midwestern town in Illinois----for many reasons----those really were the good old days. The "hard drugs" are in my small hometown today.

I happen to catch 60 minutes last night and they had a "piece" on heroin----which according to the report has become the drug of choice in many a town and city today. Heroin----terrible consequences.

BTY, medical marijuana was turned down by Florida---just short of the required 60% to pass. If I remember correct----59% were in favor.
