American soldiers smoking marijuana out of the barrel of a shotgun during the Vietnam War, 1970. For nearly 20 years, from 1955 to the mid-'70s, the American military was thrust into the unknown jungles of Vietnam. The war took an emotional toll on American troops that, in many ways, outweighed the physical strains of battle, and many soldiers coped by using drugs. Not only did substances blur the hell around them to a manageable haze, it was also something to do that didn't involve death & destruction, at least not initially. Many of the men who returned home were hooked for life, unable to cope with the world around them without a veneer of smack. There was no shortage of mind-altering substances in Vietnam during the war. Soldiers were supplied with more booze than they could drink, and thanks to the drug laws in Vietnam, marijuana wasn't hard to get, either. Studies show that more than 50% of soldiers smoked marijuana & an additional 28% of them were using heroin. With around 9 million Americans serving during the war, that's just under 2 million soldiers using one of the most addictive drugs known to man. Those numbers are just estimates, but they show how widespread illicit drug use was throughout the military during one of the worst conflicts in U.S. history. Ironically, many soldiers started using heroin because of the crackdown on less harmful drugs. As drug use increased across the board in Vietnam, the country's laws became stricter, and the U.S. military came down harshly on their soldiers.
