Unit 8 – The Postwar Period and Cold War, 1945–1980
Topic 8.12
How differently could drug use be perceived in America if not for its popularity among the youth counterculture during the 1960s?
Government would impose harsher punishments on drug-related crimes regardless of public opinion.
Drug trade industry would collapse due to lack of demand from consumers.
It may have continued to be largely stigmatized and criminalized without any significant push for decriminalization or legalization.
The prevalence of drug use wouldn't vary based on '60s countercultural preferences.
