my eldest uncle is around 63. in his youth he was a quiet, polite young man, often shy, and reserved. however he was handsome and very intelligent. around 1964 he was in college in the uk studying electrical engineering. however, one day he made friends with a hippie who he met in a music store and was immediately fascinated by the hippie subculture. he gave up his studies and went against the wishes of his family becoming a hippie,and travelled all around the world smoking lots of pot and lsd, living in a hippie truck with his hippie friends, singing and taking part in anit war protests. he tells me that he truly found himself during these years and they were the happiest of his life. (i'm sure he even got some action with hippie chicks!). in 1971 he gave up his hippie life when he realized his parents and family needed financial aid and became a carpenter. he is now retired and the nicest member in my family and i enjoy talking to him. interesting?? any similar stories??

In my days Hippies were Peace loving ,kind and very generous people.Yes pot, weed and LSD: were abundant in there communities,bear in mind that the use of drugs in those days was entered into in ignorance. They were not recognised as death traps then. I could tell you a few hippy moments,but wont, because even then it was not as glam -med up as People think.
