...major population centers of California, the use of marijuana (alias "boo," "grass," "tea" or "Mary Jane") is so widespread that pot must be considered an integral part of the generation's life experience. Insiders say that no fewer than 50% of Los Angeles high school students have tried marijuana at least once, and that 25% use it regularly once or twice a week. At Berkeley, marijuana has given way to acid, which costs $2.50 per trip v. $2 for a milder marijuana kick.
