If every kid in the school had personal knowledge of a cousin or in law or classmate or uncle who had been hung from a tree in the city park for dealing...........they would sure as heck be a little less casual about taking that first toke, or considering the trade as an occupation with a bright future.
I was a teenager in New York State in the 70's when Gov. Rockefeller was "getting tough on drugs". People were getting fifteen year sentences for a single joint.
Didn't work, drugs were still all over the place.
