Hypocrite thy name is boomer: while drug war raged, boomers kept partying

"Today the question is how come baby-boomers didn’t get the [drug war] message? Last year 250 Arizona adults died from drug abuse and Maryland reported nearly 600 deaths in 2003. Tom Riley with the Office of National Drug Control Policy explains the trend. “It’s not that baby-boomers are starting to use drugs. It’s that they started to use drugs back in the 70’s and 80’s and have continued their drug use – many cases developing into drug dependency.” Riley says the bodies of the drug-using boomers, who are now in their 50’s and 60’s, aren’t able to handle the abuse any longer."
