No it was mostly weed, ecstasy, shrooms and maybe some acid and coke mixed in too. Don't think I've ever seen heroin or know of anyone that's ever tried it. Oxys came a bit later after we were out of college, and fentanyl is even more recent and probably more of a Gen Z thing.

Does weed even count? That’s been huge since the 60’s. I wouldn’t consider it a generation defining drug because it’s essentially been ubiquitous for nearly a century at this point. If anyone is going to claim weed and shrooms, that’s got to be the boomers because they took it mainstream. Opiates started gaining steam as the first of GenY graduated high school as did the prescription opioid problem (which culminated, but didn’t start with, Oxys). But to be fair, I’ll grant you that the problem has gotten consistently worse over time with no real end in sight. With heroin specifically, it went big starting in 2010 and peaked in 2016. That would make the oldest Zoomers about 12 (depending on how you pick the start date) in 2010 and 18 when heroin use peaked. So it’s not them. That’s GenY. So maybe heroin is the drug of GenY and Fentanyl is the drug of GenZ.

September 19, 20223 yr Boomers did coke in the 70s and 80s. Gen X did heroin in the 90s The micro generation between X and Millenials did coke and ecstasy in the late 90s/early 2000s Millenials got hooked on percocets and xanex and had to switch to heroin when the pills got too expensive Gen Z are vaping designer weed and doing Molly

Most boomers were middle aged with kids at that point. Definitely more of a GenX drug. Heroin had a brief boom in the 70’s as a culmination of the hippy movement and Vietnam converged on the boomers. The 90’s had some high profile grunge band OD’s but it’s overall use was very low. Just look at the charts — OD’s were minuscule until it started to explode in the 2010’s when even the youngest genXers were in their 30’s and far too old to go down that path. GenZ is Krokodil and tide pods, because they are functionally retarded as the end product of our idiocracy.
September 19, 20223 yr GenX doesn’t care about anything. 3 days and 10 pages of crying determined that was a lie.

So maybe heroin is the drug of GenY and Fentanyl is the drug of GenZ. If you want "generation defining", then it was ecstasy for us. The first person I know that was hooked on oxy was my friend's dad after he started to have back problems. Nobody our age was into opiates. Maybe the burnouts eventually did, but if you walked into a college house party or dorm room circa 2005, you were far more likely to find weed, ecstasy, shrooms, acid, or coke way before you'd ever find heroin, percs, or oxy.

More down to earth than I expected. He just opened a Hells Kitchen in AC which is like 20 minutes from me, I'll probably go next summer to check it out.

I still remember when Schmoopie told me there was a MasterChef Jr. My immediate reaction was "That's horrible, he's going to be screaming at little kids????"
