1966-69: In Vietnam US army used more amphetamine on its troops than
the combined total of British and American forces during the Second
World War.

1970s: Recreational amphetamine use hit a peak in the seventies,
driven mainly by three disparate subcultures. The 'hippy', Northern
Soul and Punk scenes. Amphetamines become illegal in US with the
passage of the 'U.S. Drug Abuse Regulation and Control Act of 1970'.
US is flooded with cocaine. Because amphetamines were made illegal
people started, and continue, to manufacture aphetamines in home labs.
