For me, what seemed unrealistic was the combination of their age and their conservative small-town millieu. But I would be glad to be wrong. If it's not unusual, I would feel better about the scene.

what the??? PUULLLEEEZZZEE!! Small towns are rife with drugs...always have been. If you know everybody you know where you are safe. If you are friends with the local sheriff then you are not overly concerned that he is gonna raid your house. Conservative has nothing to do with it. the same people that have stills grow weed...you don't have a lot of stills there in the big city you have bars and such.
Do you turn in your relatives? your friends? well there are few things more close knit than a small town. everyone has their drug of choice, be it pot, alcohol, or church. no we don't get the law involved in family matters.

Jack went to Mexico for Sex. I always thought he might have brought pot home with him from Mexico.

I have no doubt this has been true for quite a while (though not always, IMO). And I'm sure plenty of small-town young people were pot-smokers in 1983. But my experience is that people who didn't grow up using drugs as teenagers are somewhat unlikely to start using them as they approach 40, particularly in conservate societies, and were even less so in 1983. If I'm wrong, that's great -- then the scene will make more sense to me. Does anyone here happen to know anybody from a small, conservative town who started smoking weed in their late 30s? I know plenty of pot smokers, but the few I know who started at an older age were arty, liberal, urban types.

There was a story on NPR recently about the ages at which people stop experimenting with new things (music, food, and piercings were mentioned), and it supports your observations.
On the other hand, sometimes I wonder if my friends' parents weren't a lot wilder than I used to think.
I bet some of them actually had sex, for instance.
(Not mine, though, of course. ;D )
