The eighties are back. In some ways, at least. The resurgence is not limited to flashy cars, flashy clothes, and dubious taste.
Cocaine is also back, with a vengeance.
Cocaine prices have fallen through the floor in the last two decades. In fact, a gram of cocaine is, these days, sometimes less expensive than an eighth of an ounce of marijuana. And many college kids have been snapping it up like North Face fleeces. Cocaine scenes at many colleges are raging out of control. At Columbia, which is three blocks from a notorious drug-dealing neighborhood, cocaine is as common, if not more so, than marijuana.
