Bhairitu, marijuana gave me a wonderful, mellow experience and that was enough
for me to want that in a natural way. A few months later, I started TM.

Orange Sunshine was pretty mellow, Owsley's Purple Haze was rather mind
shattering and pure Sandoz very creepy. Psilocybin was hallucinogen without
paranoia (LSD probably had that side effect due to stuff it was cut with). The
drug I stayed away from was cocaine. I can thank Johnny Cash since he claimed
it gave him a "deviated septum" and none us in my band wanted that.
In 1970 I gave George Lucas a copy of "Autobiography of a Yogi" and he told me
he was going to read it. Guess he did.

Richard, I was a long married, suburban housewife during the early hippie
movement. Funnily enough, my hubby and I got our marijuana from a guy stationed
at Ft. Meade! Go figger indeed. I was too scared to do LSD, thank God!

We attended class and listened to Stephen Gaskin every Monday evening
for several months back in 1970. He gave lectures at the Family Dog and
hundreds of people would gather to get high and listen to his words of wisdom.
Gaskin is the first person to explain to me what karma means. A few weeks later
I was able to use that word in a sentence talking to Travis Rivers about the
SF Oracle newspaper. Stephen Gaskin, R.I.P.
This was the early days when if you had read Yogananda's book you were
considered to be advanced spiritually. By then I was reading Tibetan Yoga and
Secret Doctrines. Go figure. For those who were too young or weren't born yet,
have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be in the first wave of
hippies that crested in the late 1960s and early 70s? Here is a nice report:
