Yeah - I remember that new stuff that was around in great
quantity the first year after the Shah fell.  Probably a good way
to get your bucks out during the last days.  Read a great account
of escapees on the last few flights out with pockets and
suitcases packed with caviar - supposed to be better than gold
for holding value and relatively legal-problem free.  So I figure
the Persian fit into diplomatic pouches easily and was used the
same way.

Anyway - one reason so many got strung-out was because of
ignorance.  I was introduced to it as "a brand new drug" and I
loved it.  Beat the heck out of snorting or smoking opium -
different enough that I didn't snap that it was the same thing. 
No nausea, itchy nose, etc.  Told my husband all about it when he
got home.

"New - hell, that's heroin!" he laughed.  And laughed.  But I can
see that if he hadn't told me, I might have gotten a lot farther
into it. Nobody who was selling it to middle class white people
was using the "H" word.
