The drugs that are the most popular in north america today are the ones that were the most popular 200-250 years ago.
Cocaine and it's variants, opium and it's variants, tobacco and it's variants, alcohol and marijuana.
Sure, there's pharmaceuticals now, but the best and most sought after ones are still opiate derivatives.
There's meth now and Ecstacy, but the big (illegal) ones are still Cocaine, Heroin and Weed.
Edit: kids these days are buying the same drugs you were. They're is less stigma surrounding them, so you hear about it more, but by and large they are similar products.
