Do hippies take drugs and drink?

Answer 1

OBVIOUSLY THEY TOOK DRUGS!! Psychedelic drugs like LSD were one of the essentials of hippies. It helped them open their minds and see what was truly wrong with the world. Without LSD hippies may not have been as big of a counter culture as they were. Another big drug hippies took was marijuana. Weed helped them relax and was a very peaceful, nonviolent drug which they could take more readily that Acid because acid has a high and quick tolerance rate so if you took it every day you wouldn't feel the same effects. As for drinking, most hippies did not drink a lot and not hard liquor. They thought it would lead to violence as well as harmful to the body. However some did drink beer. As for other drugs, others were taken like heroin and cocaine although not as much as LSD and Pot. Those were the two biggest influential drugs of the hippie era.

Answer 2

Not all hippies take drugs or drink alcohol, as the hippie movement encompasses a wide range of beliefs and lifestyles. Some hippies may choose to engage in recreational drug use or consume alcohol, while others may not. The overarching message of the hippie movement is about peace, love, and acceptance, rather than specific behaviors.
