SMACK AS CATCH CAN: The Shape of Dope Today
Phil is a 32 year old physician. The $50,000-plus he pulls down yearly has enabled him to install his wife and two kids in a $35,000, home in a plush suburb, with two cars worth a total of 15 Gs. He winters in Florida, visits his Northern cottages in the summer, and spends $4,000 a year on dope; at times he has spent as much as $700 in one week on marijuana, which he splits with friends.

Phil is a 32 year old physician. The $50,000-plus he pulls down yearly has enabled him to install his wife and two kids in a $35,000, home in a plush suburb, with two cars worth a total of 15 Gs. He winters in Florida, visits his Northern cottages in the summer, and spends $4,000 a year on dope; at times he has spent as much as $700 in one week on marijuana, which he splits with friends. He also spends a few hundred bucks a year on acid, and you might call him a prototype of the new affluent druggie, who never touches hard drugs (handling even cocaine gingerly and on rare occasion), but considers himself a connoisseur of high quality speed, hash, acid, etc.
