Vermont’s Drug History

Hello! I know this is a dark topic, but I’m interested in researching the history of drugs in Vermont, specifically Burlington and the surrounding areas.

I read online that coke first became popular in the 1980s, and has gone in and out of popularity since.

What was it like growing up in that time/era? What was the culture surrounding drugs? How did they get distributed? Was it stigmatized or seen as a open secret?

Thanks for your help! :)
