Entertainers were important to those who wanted to be entertained. If Jimi
was not a junkie, Mr. Ed was not a horse. You are quite right that most
drug users these days are white and middle class, and from homes where they
were neglected or abused. That is why all the whining and sniveling about
being punished for drugs by the law. In the Fifties, the only people who
had drugs were criminals and bohemian types who bought drugs from criminals.
The Mexican word for hemp is Cáñamo. marijuana is the name for the drug
from the leaves and buds. Mexicans who grow it, do not let their kids or
workers use it because it makes them stupid and lazy in their opinion.
Cocaine and amphetamines do make people crazy, sometimes permanently.
The opium laws in San Francisco were aimed at preventing whites from getting
opium because it was becoming popular among bohemian whites. Read the
papers of the time online at Bancroft Library. Those who use drugs are
supporting the right wing dictatorships and military criminals who produce
them. Drug use is a product of bourgeois decadence, not revolutionary in
any sense.
