i rly dont care what ppl do in their free time. but i suspect some historian, eons hence, will look at everything from the rampant coke use of the 80’s to this shit right here, and wonder who the fuck was in charge.
the war on drugs was only ever about controlling ppl in low places.

i’ve told this story here b4, but about 15 yrs ago, i went back to school. i got a certificate of design from continuing studies at the art institute. the teachers all had day jobs, and extensive work experience. 1 of the graphic design teachers had worked at disney, in the pr dept.
she swore that when they sent out the movies pre-release, to critics, they filled the drive holes in the vhs tapes w coke. AT DISNEY.
