GP means that from the 1960s to the 1970s many people in his part of the world were deliberately putting "toxins" in their bodies.

He means that the hippie generation and disco generation took a lot of drugs.

I figured, just a joke playing off their typo (hence the smiley).

There were plenty of non-"drug" toxins people were exposed to where levels peaked around that time — leaded gasoline, early food contact plastics with unsafe additives, pesticides that are now banned, etc. But thanks Nancy Reagan. ;)

Humans put toxins into their bodies for the entire history of humankind.
