Beware of trolls and their seemingly innocuous threads.

Do Not Feed The Trolls.

Has coke ever gone out of fashion?

Quaaludes were legal prescription drugs that were then passed around illegally. Quite popular in the 60s and 70s and into the 80s.

Ahh memories.

I went to college in the 70s and my drugs of choice were grass, coke, acid/LSD and - to make it through classes - speed (aka White Cross). Of those, grass was the certainly the cheapest and easiest to come by. The university I attended was known for its counter-culture hippie vibe and drugs were readily available and affordable. The campus cops and the town's Barney Fife police force didn't even try to get a handle on it. Of everything available, acid was the riskiest since most of it was concocted in someone's garage and you never knew what you were getting.

What were goofballs? And what were those they were on in Valley of the Dolls?

Goofballs were Benzedrine, right?

No, different things. ^

I worked with a lot of drug addicts and used drugs myself.

Drugs are subject to supply and price issues.

One young man I worked with was using crystal meth. He told me his drug of choice was oxys, but they were hard to get.

I think he was depressed and had mental health issues. He died in his 20s.

So you didn’t help him one bit. Got it.

And here I had thought they simply could be harvested for free from the sand!

I Googled it, goofballs are "a barbiturate sleeping pill."
