Buddhists smoked herb in spiritual practice to expand the mind and the children of the 60’s followed suit. Popularized by groundbreaking artists like Dylan, the Dead and the Fab Four marijuana grew on society like a weed. And, the results were almost marvelous.
Suddenly those stuffy 1950’s values were realized as arcane as they were framed by rigidity only found in Christianity and other failed doctrines. The counter culture crawled out of the dark ages and into the light of selflessness and began to change the world. Community became important, as did nurturing the environment because the hippie movement realized a fundamental truth of life; ONE LOVE. That is; we are all ONE and LOVE is all you need. It IS that simple and besides, that’s what the whole Summer of LOVE was all about!
But, what happened? What fucked it all up? Maybe it was drugs after all. Remember, weed didn’t kill Jim, Jimi or Janis! Like tumbling dice those unfortunate fucks and thousands of other young hipsters alike experimented with drugs and lost. Hard drugs don’t expand the mind; they disconnect it and smother its victims in a serenity drenched blanket of despair, dependency and death. They drive Hells Angels to mercilessly shank Rolling Stones fans and give the puritans reason to persecute!
Thanks boomer generation, thanks for turning your back on those “hippie” values you once held so high…those values…ARE the fucking zeitgeist of our time! How quickly you discarded those values! You tossed ‘em on that disgusting ginormous trash heap just like you did all your empty beer cans and potato chip bags back in Woodstock NY once you were finished basking in that farcical so-called “3 days of peace and music”. Who are you kidding? It was really just 3 days of aggrandizement, entitlement and greed. Didn’t anyone get a look at the aftermath of those 3 days of peace and music…the fucking place resembled a war zone. Looking back…those 3 days of gluttony and nihilism, NOT peace and love, were to foreshadow things to come.
