There were many drugs used in the 1970's. One popular drug used was crack which was new in this time period. Another form of this drug that was used during this time period was coccaine. Also, heroin was a huge scare during the 70's even though it is not as bad as coccaine. In addition to those drugs is weed which was and is still big in every decade. Weed is known as a gateway drug and that is why it is illegal. Many people misconceive this as they think that marijuana is a bad drug when in reality it is less harmful than tobbaco and alcohol. So as you can see drugs were very diverse during this time period but they are pretty much the same as in today's society.
