Also at the Food & Wine Classic … an older gentleman said he used to live in San Diego in the ’80s and he pointed toward an area that, he said, used to be known as the place where “hippies” and drug addicts hung out. “Lots of people with no teeth,” he said.
“Really?” I said. “I thought that was a meth thing.”
“Yeah, that’s it,” he said. “They called it crank then. It was new. They came up with it because they couldn’t afford cocaine.”
“Really? That’s interesting.”
“Yeah,” he said, almost wistfully. “I was there at the birth of meth.”
