Cocaine is the New Cocaine. 1981 Time Article: Cocaine is the All-American Drug....(USA! USA! USA!)
Peer pressure is everywhere.
This 1981 Time article describes how coke is the drug of choice for millions of awesome Americans. Here are some of the highlights:
- “In Pasadena, Calif.—a cross section of professionals in their 20s and 30s—celebrates TGIW (Thank God It’s Wednesday), gathering at the home of a local car dealer for a coke session at cocktail time.”
- A sun-bleached woman student at the University of Colorado’s Boulder campus confesses: “I took all my finals coked out last semester, and I heard a lot of sniffing in the exam room.”
That’s because everyone was crying over how radical you are.
- A waitress in Aspen, Colo., says, “The people used to leave a little cocaine on the table as a tip.”
Wait, how do you calculate 15% of a patty-melt in cocaine?
- “In some circles coke is a barter item, readily accepted for dental work, as an accountant’s fee or in exchange for a discount on a new car.”
Wow different times I guess, my dentist only accepts PCP & crystal.
- “If a boy produces some coke on a date, it is just expected that the girl is going to put out.”
She better, this shit is expensive.
- “In some of the better Madison Avenue offices, admen offer clients coke instead of martinis. Says one New York advertising executive: “About 75% of all the bright young Turks in the advertising business use some regularly, some occasionally, but they all use it. Spill out a couple of grams of that white stuff on the table and everyone knows where you’re coming from.”
Yeah everyone does know where you are coming from, the best place ever.
