Like I said, I was only 14 and I didn't learn about that for a few more years. They didn't cover the history of weed in my junior high history classes. It was really more of an independent study! ;)
Actually, though, I never really tried the stuff until college. I was a total nerd and although a few of my friends used it now and then, the stoner crowd wasn't my scene.
"Fresh, smart tips on how to stand out as a leader in your crowd" from the United Fruit Company? Will there be instruction on how to collude with the CIA to overthrow the student government at your school and install a regime favorable to your popularity? Because that I would like to see.
oh, didn't they mention? the comic has nothing to do with the product - she's just reading the yellow pages. in fact, "how to be tops in your teens" actually makes no sense at all.

Date: 2012-07-01 04:10 pm (UTC)This reminds me of a book my mom had called The Seven Teen Years. I think it actually belonged to one of her older sisters. My mother was a teen in the early sixties and this book was printed the late forties or early fifties so she considered it passé. I was about 14 when I read it and I kind of liked it. It had some religious undertones so it might have been printed by a religious organization, but it was surprisingly straightforward about a lot of issue. I remember one chapter was about avoiding drugs and one line went something like, "he had never heard of dope, but he sure knew how to act like one." I thought, "wow! They had pot back in those days?" I didn't think it existed before the 60s!
I wish I still had that book. I would probably enjoy it even more now!
