Ahh, being young in the 80’s! (I’m old as hell). Had a friend who was a GM dealer mechanic, makin’ bank, Friday nights he’d invite a couple people over and he’d break out the blow. I never wanted to buy the stuff, like $90 a gram way back then (and I’d already seen a few friends get way too much into the stuff), but didn’t mind a bit every now and then. We’d watch movies and do some bong hits, and like clockwork, everyone got up about the same moment to go try to poop.

My understanding was baby laxative was a common cutting additive, so I guess it made sense. But the 2-bathroom apartment thing could get a little dicey.
