People do forget what was in the "diet pills" that housewives used to chomp down.

It's not just diet pills. Valium was extremely common.

Other drug use I found

The dad might still be on Adderall if he got hooked on it in the war. The son is probably too young to be doing it for an academic edge.

The parents may have been dropping acid if any of their friends were in the psychological professions.

These are however, the demographic least likely to have been using cannabis in American history.

And when it gets real heavy, and you start getting stroppy
They'll deal you out some mighty fine dope
Librium, Mogodon, Thorazine, Valium
They haven't got a pill called Hope
Thousands of us women have been cut down by lobotomy
Terrorized by ECT
Bullied into passivity, seduced into servility
I'm talking about you and me
