LSD, JFK, CIA?

[Doug Millison]

Housewives are prime consumers of mass media, and indeed a useful measuring
stick for what is or isn't widely known, assumed, etc. Ever heard the
expression, used to describe something as commonly and widely known:
household word? 

You've still offered no evidence that LSD use in the U.S. was common
knowledge, and instead resort to your usual insults and diversions. Maybe
you knew about LSD in '66, but if so you were a member of a very small group
of people, in the U.S. and worldwide, who had any knowledge at all about
LSD.

You brought up housewives.  What makes housewives the measuring stick of 
what's known and isn't?  Again, there's a range of people between housewives

and your imagined cult of in-the-know hipsters
