Well, I don't do drugs and I don't think I ever will. I use other things (like extreme sports, meditation, etc.) for mood-enhancers... I just don't see a need for drugs in my life because they wouldn't do anything for me.
I also think that people should understand that "hippie" and "druggie" are not direct synonyms. I consider myself a hippie, but I am not a druggie. I think that being a hippie is about shedding society's standards, the selfishness of our economy and government (practically everything is tied up in money money money these days), and the destructive wastefulness of the way society uses natural resources. I think hippie-ism is about concentrating on love and peace instead of negative, harmful feelings.
If drugs make you feel those things, then more power to you. Each to his own. But I can find other ways to experience a "high".

Hippies always smell bad because they don't bathe.
If it isn't the cloud of marijuana smoke you smell when they exit their VW bus it's the patchouli stink!
There are SO many hippy stereotypes!
Drugs are just one of the many. Everything in moderation folks. I don't think anyone should smoke, drink, do any sort of drugs to excess because it will hurt you in the long run. If you like to have fun and drugs happen to be a part of that then just be responsible. Harm none and that does include yourself. The people that are going to label you as a druggie because you live a hippy-like lifestyle will most likely never be open-minded enough to think any differently.

I don't think anyone should do drugs. It has been proven that it destroys many braincells and it's bad for you. You become addicted and it's a waste of money.
And why see the beautiful world through the world of drugs, why not see it through your own eyes. Experience it without the use of drugs.

You have a point...as a stoner I am kind of really lazy...and don't make it very far out my door anymore.
I like to think I'm protesting by participating in the black market as it were for marijuana...cheating the system out of my money because I'm spending it on a tax free illegal plant.
I have no idea what I'm saying...it made sense in my head before I started typing...my headphones just fizzled.

I can't use drugs... drug abuse and psychological issues usally triggered by drugs run in my genes. Besides, I'm too poor to afford it and I can't even stand taking Tylenol withoout getting really sick from it anyways.
If somone else wants to take drugs, that's a-ok with me.
I have, however found that taking St. Johns Wort makes me all happy and spacy and whee! whee
Yea, I inatally found St. Johns Wort in my herbal remedy books and used it back when I had depression.
I also meditate a lot, which makes me all calm, spacy, and philisophical.

Trixa Pyswell I don't think anyone should do drugs. It has been proven that it destroys many braincells and it's bad for you. You become addicted and it's a waste of money.
And why see the beautiful world through the world of drugs, why not see it through your own eyes. Experience it without the use of drugs.
That stuff's what the propaganda that the Drug Czar puts out SAYS that pot does to you... but it doesn't destroy brain cells... it numbs them, that's why you feel high, but they don't STAY that way... and you CAN'T become addicted to pot PHYSICALLY... if you're a weak person and you THINK you can't live without it, you could possibly have a MENTAL addiction... but I've never seen that happen...
Try checking out the NORML website for some REAL information and REAL research about marijuana. DON'T BUY INTO THE PROPAGANDA!!! wink

BerylAlexandros I don't do drugs, I don't think I'm ever likely to do drugs, but at least with some drugs (such as pot) I don't see a huge problem with doing them. If somebody asked my opinion I'd probably tell them they shouldn't, but really it's choice. And I don't think there should be any specific "hippies do drugs" or "hippies don't do drugs" thing, either. I mean, either way being a hippy shouldn't be about the drugs. I agree with you there, I think thats what I've been looking for someone to say, and Im glad you said it well. Being a hippie shouldn't be about the drugs.

KrauseMouse Actually, in terms of Marijuana, at least... That stuff HASN'T been proven, because it isn't true.
That stuff's what the propaganda that the Drug Czar puts out SAYS that pot does to you... but it doesn't destroy brain cells... it numbs them, that's why you feel high, but they don't STAY that way... and you CAN'T become addicted to pot PHYSICALLY... if you're a weak person and you THINK you can't live without it, you could possibly have a MENTAL addiction... but I've never seen that happen...

~M~ yes, I Knew all that False propaganda stuff when I posted this thread, that's why I left out any mention of physical problems in my arguments, Neither side agrees with one another about it. but If you make your dessision based on what people do agree on you'll probably find a lot of reasons not to do drugs and hopefully get other ways to search for happiness. and I have seen people with mental adictions to pot, and it's pretty strong. one girl I saw in particular had to grab a soda bottle and turn it into a bong then smoke it in class because she just had to have it right then.

i feel that the best way to be the hippie inside of you is just to go with what you feel is right, if you feel that pot is the best way to go then you go and do it, if being anti drug and the natural person you are then you do that, whatever makes you happiest inside is the best way to go. i mean i have done both and trully i feel the same either way, i have always had the same bohemial life ive always had. and for those that dont know what that is its when you believe in truth beauty freedom and most of all love. but anyways do whatever makes you feel the best, whichever road you take just remember to be true to yourself alright? i know that that might sound really corny but hey its the way it is lol.
