Sociology 25 Wednesdays 3:30pm Drug Use and Abuse I was born in East Los Angeles, and I grew up surrounded by the Mexican culture. Not only were the "fiestas" big, full of joy and love, but there wasn't a party where you wouldn't see a man walking in with a twenty-four of coronas and a bottle of tequila to drink while singing along to the rancheras. The party never stopped until you had a bunch of machos tripping over their own two feet. Words quickly turned into slurs, women endured being
