I remember back in middle school (early 1980's) The anti drug education was somewhat similar to what you describe. We had a local police resource officer doing a presentation and he had a display case of drugs, LSD Blotter paper, mushrooms, hash, peyote, "grass" of course and cocaine. There was also PCP, heroin, "speed", etc but yeah no designer drugs or pharmecueticals really back then except the speed and Valium.
The display case made me want to try "grass" and of course i was hooked from the get go and was a "grass junky" daily from like 1984 till 2013. Their cocaine presentation scared me off ever trying coke or heroin and of course PCP because the PCVP presentation told of a "wild man" taken into custody and of course it took likle 8 cops to subdue him,. Once in the squad car he kicked a hole through the roof due to superhuman powers and imunity to pain from the PCP...i was like F that shbit....I ain't going near that...no PCP EVER for me
I never really experimented beyond pot and booze untill I went into the military. I was busted twice for having pot on base, and got kicked out of electronics school for it. I wasn't the only one, I remember one woman that went into Palm Springs on a weekly basis to see her 'boyfreind'. He just happened to be a known dealer out there, and the WM got busted with half a pound of weed. I remember that the MP's had her in the brig for 2 months while she was waiting for a court martial.
When I got to San Diego, it was basically party all the time. We would go to concerts at the sports arena, and were rarely sober for any of them. I remember going to see the Gratefull Dead and given a choice of drug on a platter going in.
