Dr. George R. Gay of the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic warns that rising heroin use among girls and blue collar youth, increased cocaine abuse, and more Vietnam veterans becoming junkies signal future waves across the country. He notes the clinic’s experience reflects shifting drug scenes from the late 1960s to the 1970s and emphasizes a lag between first use and seeking help.
