Angels were getting crank back in the 70's from truckers traveling across the country.
It became a big profit item for them and gave rise to the biker stereotype of dope dealing and ass kicking. Where the truckers got it, I couldn't tell you. I do know later on the mob had labs...Philly for one in the 80's so it wouldn't be too far off time wise.
I burned my nose out in the early 70's.

I mean....from what I read, today Nuge enjoys shooting from helicopters...the Army had a place where he could have learned the joys of shooting from a helicopter every day. But he #### himself to avoid that. They had guns and ammo they were willing to GIVE him. But he #### himself. There were teenage Vietnamese cuties that he could have screwed on slow days. But he #### himself. Nam would have been "Nuge nirvana"...but the coward wouldn't go. DAmn I wish I could teach a wild boar how to shoot...next time Nuge flies over "on the hunt" in Huey, let them shoot back.
Seventy five and the mid sixties were two worlds apart.
