In the 80s and 70s coke was so big movies had budgets for it and magazines had add for coke straws.
But nowadays it is not at the level of cultural permissiveness it was back then.
What happened?
Did the crack epidemic shift the persona of coke use from rich white wall street and Hollywood guys to poor blacks?
Did the fall of the Medellin Cartel and Cali cartels cause supply chain issues?
/u/Lukeintheskywith has previously answered Why was cocaine so widely used in the 70s and 80s?
/u/hillsonghoods has previously answered When cocaine first came on the scene in the 1960s and 70s, did people see it as a relatively harmless party drug?
More answers would be welcome.
