IF you have to be considered a hippy, then do your own thing. No one should do drugs unless they know what they are doing, know exactly what the drug is, what the effects are and how to get help, should things get out of hand, have someone to help them they can trust, are mentally and medically healthy enough to do them, do them in a safe place where they won't get scared or hurt themselves or others and have made a decision to want to experiment. NO, you don't have to do drugs. Never take a drug unless you know what you are getting yourself into, and are willing to take the risks with any fun that the drug might give you. Be careful and be yourself. If you don't want drugs, don't do them.
Yeah, you have to take drugs to be a hippie. The basis of being a hippie is conforming to a stereotype
to be a hippy you dont gotta do nuthin but be who you are..ghandi was a hippy, so was jesus if he existed.. being a hippy is about being peaceful, kind & loving, it has nothing to do with doing drugs..& all these kids joking about yes you gotta do drugs to be cool are all basicaly lost & still trying to find theyre true selves i beleive some drugs may be ok for some people.. but onkly certain drugs..& only for some people..who treat them with great respect.. personaly i dont drink or touch any drugs..i do smoke herb ocassionaly..but its rare..like every few weeeks to once every 3 monyths or so & i've never been told by anyone that i wasnt a true hippy.
never try to be something or try to be "considered" something. just be. and thats alll you can do in this world
Eh, I can't stand drugs.. They make me feel like shit, I avoid them as best I can.. But I'm still posting here, yknow? I hope that answers your question.
That's okay, my DH still loves me. I'm not interested in your opinion. Bright Blessings! Aphrodite Pretty
YES!!!! YOU MUST DO ALL THE DRUGS YOU CAN GET YER HANDS ON!! that is the only true way to be a hippie.. in fact, all the colors will run out of yer tye dye if yer heroin level falls below a certain point. dreads will undread if you don't smoke pot. you will only be able to hear bluegrass music if yer not trippin on lsd. get a grip.
LSD opened a door for many who were later classified as hippies by the press, and and along with the beat generation, started a cultural revolution that is still felt and lived by many today. Burn out is a bummer though,.. There is a large list of VERY talented people who are dead now because of various over indulgences.

you definitely dont have to do drugs to be a hippie, drugs are things that most hippies do use but "hippies" are not defined as "people who do drugs", i think a joint here and there and a great trip sometime is totally far out and fun but some hippies dont and that definitely doesnt mean they are less of a hippie
