then they added - age (process of, outcome of) in the 70's, but the term "doobie" started in mid 60's, by white people living in suburbs and college.

I actually found that "spliff" is West Indie term that was a slang of a Jamican term.
Cool!

I guess all of the poor people live in South of Atlanta and most of the rich people live in North of Atlanta. But it's spotty outside 285 loop, but inside, it's pretty straight.
Atlanta is known for its wealthy black neighborhoods.
