Where I live there have been junkies in the area and back in 80's I was in a house briefly with some junkies - these people are heroine addicts. But you also see similar people hooked on drink.

I left in 1983.

Besides the odd old hippy, having a crafty joint in some backstreet Blackburn boozer, I never saw any other drug use locally, and I had a very active social life.

Cut to nearly thirty years later, I've seen umpteen people dealing in this area. In the street, from cars, and in a great deal of our town centre pubs and clubs.

It's sadly easier to score illegal narcotics, and in some cases cheaper, than getting drunk.

So yes, from what I've seen, drugs are much more easily accessible nowadays.

Drugs certainly are more accessible now than back then, yeh would have to have the brain capacity of n amoeba to think otherwise.
