Of course. Heroin started booming since the early 40s, although it was used by the city "elite" in the 30s too, but then throughout the 50's, 60's and so it had been very widespread. Coke started getting introduced to the general population (I mean apart from the elite, because it was pricey) and became available to most people in the 70s, and late 70s. By 1980s it had already boomed enough that around 20-30% of the population claimed to have tried it. It had its up and then its downs in the early 90s and since then it has seen its little ups post 2000.
And don't forget about prescription drugs, benzos and painkillers, especially post 2000s. Whole different world.
