Smoking pot


Was it common in real life for people in high society in the 1990s to smoke pot like the main characters in the film? Up until it became more legal and mainstream in the late 2000s, I thought marijuana usage was seen as something that only hippies, slackers, thugs, and pseudo-intellectuals did, so it is surprising that a medical doctor at that time would smoke seemingly regularly, unless usage was more common than history and media portray.

Drug use was prevalent in all walks of society even in the 1990's.

Yep...kind of "don't ask - don't tell".
Hmmm, was there ever a time/era when people didn't like being high? 🤔​

Poltergeist (82) had a similar scene, also The Big Chill (83).
