It was Reagan that shut down all the mental hospitals in the 1980s.

Then had that ineffectual "war on drugs"/DARE programme while Iran/Contra was assisting cocaine to flood into the country, iirc.

Now, the hard drugs scene isn't even about cocaine any more, it's shifted right to the methamphetamines, and opiates (mostly from prescription origin, notice that it's been prescription drugs that the celebs have been offing themselves with for the past couple decades .. and even before that, when Johnny Cash was a pill-popper enabled by his doctor way back in the 1950s, ffs) .. .and that crap has come from corrupt pharmacists willing to feed the market (and gee, it tends to be pakis ... spreading opiate addiction for the chinese ...)

So, I wonder when all this social experimentation actually started, now.
