    Curious, in the 60s and 70s, when hippies were literally everywhere, were they always high? Or like on a 24 hour acid trip? I just wanted to find out because whenever you look-up pictures of hippies they always look stoned out of their minds! Was this a must do for all hippies?

    There were lots of us that didnt use drugs , but found a natural high thru spirituality , or nature or music , whatever turned them on.
    Drugs were just a diversion , or a way to open themselves to things they never noticed before...they wernt required for being a hippy.

    yes and no.. it wasn't a 'must' but tool to enightenment, as in the cases of psychedelics, not the hardcore drugs so much, like heroin or methadrine hydrocloride... thoes two were in a world of their own. Altho I did know several that created some wonderful music and lititure as well that were either on meth or herion/opiates.. I was into everything expect for heroin, I didn't like the high, or low as the case may be.... I was not 'Stoned Out' all the time.. there were a few days in there when I was completely unstoned and I didn't like it... but them was different times and different drugs... I dropped LSD every day for a couple of yrs.. I don't think I need anymore. I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack if I do speed now, altho I did like speed, I use to be able to fit 32 hrs into one day :)) Smoke has always been my favorite esp hash. I did DMT a few time and went out of the galaxy and landed on another planet, that was an experience I really don't want to repete unless there is an actual place, bc truthfully it was most auspiscious and exotic I was captivate by it's aura. The LSD trips were no where as near Mind Altering as the DMT more of a consciousness essention and being in touch with your Being...I didn't care much for Peyote bc it made my stomach queezy but mushrooms were ok bc they didn't mess with my stomach and the high was mellower then the other psychedelics, like DMT and even LSD.. I don't know about todays drugs.. All I can see is the devastation it leaves behind.. the so called meth.. that has no meth in it.. and the pills/downers the younguns take like candy and really can't think at all, let alone walk...I think the pharmcuedicals should be banned and Medical Marajuana should be given instead...If you didn't do drugs back in the day you weren't concider cool and trust was an issue, bc we were always getting busted.. I didn't ever know anyone that was a hippy that didn't at least smoke pot or eat hash or something.

    For some inexplicable reason I can't remember the '60s or the '70s ..... and cannot imagine why.



    Have fun, play safely, and eat your honey!

    Let's see .... you were born in '90 or '91 .... thinking .... boy oh boy .... no idea why you can't remember the '60s. Let's smoke another bowl and try to figure this out ... and the old Troll drifts off into space.

    Either you wern't getting good stuff or you wern't taking enough. During some trips I could function and even go on excursions (with a guide), but on other heavier doses I was, from outward appearances, comatose and the trip was all internal and a whole different extreme ball game. I think during a few of those I was fortunate to return.
