1960\u2019s \u2014<\/strong>The first documented and widely-spread drug culture came in the mid-1960\u2019s with the psychedelic ideology and hippie culture. Cannabis, LSD and other psychedelic drugs have been associated with the hippie movement. What is to blame for the drug culture being widely-spread? Increased travel, efficient communication, and media all contributed to the drug culture popularity in the 1960\u2019s.<\/p>\n 1970\u2019s\u2014<\/strong>In the 1970\u2019s LSD became popular with the approval of the entertainment industry, film, and rock music legends. The culture associated with disco music introduced amphetamine derivatives and psychedelic drugs.<\/p>\n 1980\u2019s\u2014<\/strong>With the 80s, came crack cocaine. The crack was cheap, plentiful and hideously addictive. The crack cocaine epidemic became the evolution of recreational drug use. Urban youth were especially vulnerable to the slick marketing of this cocaine drug culture, perpetrated by film, media and the promotion of iconic cultural figures, embodying the new cocaine lifestyle imagery. Heroin became more common in the 80\u2019s and a new type of drug subculture developed.<\/p>\n 1990\u2019s\u2014<\/strong>Rave music grew a culture where it became a part of their everyday life. With rave events came designer drugs, providing variations to drugs that already existed.<\/p>\n 2000\u2019s\u2014<\/strong>The Internet became a vehicle to spread the word about the designer drugs and sales grew rapidly. The 2000s saw growth of designer drugs as well as opioids, hallucinogens, and steroids.<\/p>\n This cultural timeline illustrates the strong and impressionable influence of music, film, and media on our young people.\u00a0 Should the music, film, fashion, and media be more culturally responsible when creating imagery around drugs and substance use?<\/p>\n Healing Springs Ranch offers a complete lifestyle transformation for the most successful recovery.
