Do you have to do drugs to be a "true" hippie?

You can't be a hippy either way. Taking drugs is just more fun, at least for a while.

 

I'd think you'd need to trip at least once, but there are alternative ways to altered states:


intense physical training
lack of sleep
meditation, yoga
oxygen deprivation
dreaming

can't think of any more right now, but there surely are others

 

no you don't have to do drugs to be a "true" hippie, but you do need to do drugs to be a true "hippie".

 

so death?

 

I shouldn't have listed that one. Produces symptoms similar to alcohol intoxication. Not something anyone would want to do for kicks. I was just mentioning non-drug things that alter your consciousness.

 

yeah, well
if i think i know what you're talkin' about, it's bad for your brain
kills a shit loada brain cells when you do it

(the thing i'm thinkin' of people used to do in my eighth grade class, where they'd hold their breath for like 2 minutes, then have someone press their fist right in the middle of their chest, while they exhaled, once they exhaled, it cut off all oxygen to the brain and then they'd pass out for like 5 seconds

for those of you that care, i was smart enough to not do this :H)

 

haha i was always too scared to do it :H

 

I agree.












With all of you, in all 29 posts before mine.
Have a nice day.

 

I've done it before. Peer pressure.

 

Well to be a hippie you must use drugs, protest, and streak. You are a true hippie if you do complete these things...

 

No girl, don't fall into that trap. Being a hippie is not about drugs, it's about peace&Love and freedom of the mind. How you achieve that peace is not important. Stereotypical statements like that, goes against what being a hippie is all about. Peace Out!

 

My friends and I used to do that all the time in seventh grade. The last time I did it, I passed out and collapsed, hitting my head on the pavement hard as shit. I could feel the impact even though I was unconscious. I did so much stupid shit when I was younger.

 

I completly agree with u... being a hippie means being spirtitual and in depth with your emotions...some people can find a depper meaning in life without drugs. Hippies are people who believe in something and stand up for that belief....if people think you have to be high to think that way then they don't know the true definition of a hippie

 

man just dont reject anything mann except like violence and that jazzz

 

I needa read up sommore on Osho. From what i've read, he's awesome.

And yeah, you shouldn't try to be a real hippie, just give out the positive vibes. There shouldn't be set rules for much of anything.

 

an old hippie done both i have been drug free and smoked. No is the answer love , peace and respecting individuials is the core of being a hippie.

 

I dont think u need drugs to be a real hippie.It`s not all about the drugs,u just have to enjoy the life with or without them,no matter what.I think that`s what make a real hippie

 

no.Why people thinkthat hippiesare people who use drugs, don't shower and sleep in the garbage?People forget the hippie ideology about peace freedom....

 

Nope, definately not. I actually think those who don't do drugs and just all about peace, love, and freedom are the most hip. Being hippie is not about what kind of drugs you do, what kind of patchwork/hippie skirt you have, or even music, it's about a state of mind and being who you really are...hip.

Or something like that
