Lots and lots more drugs, including the crack cocaine
epidemic starting in the late 80s.
Really? Lots more drugs than in the 60's?
Lots more drug CRIMES, as more and more thing were classified as crimes, and
more and more crimes were treated as "serious," not excluding FEDERAL
pressure
on local agencies with not-so-subtle threats behind them.
Watch the Johnny Cash movie, then get back to us about the effectiveness and
desire of regulating persoal behavior.

"... by far the more important reason for the readjustment of the past is
the need to safeguard the infallibility of the Party. It is not merely that
speeches, statistics and records of every kind must be constantly brought up
to date in order to show that the predictions of the Party were in all cases
right. It is also that no change of doctrine or in political alignment can
ever be admitted. For to change one's mind, or even one's policy, is a
confession of weakness."
