Do you have to do drugs to be a "true" hippie?

I can't understand why there is so much discussion about those drugs. I'm absolutly sure you don't need any drug to understand what's going on in the world! Just open your eyes! Look at the nature, travel, meet people, make friends.... For me drugs don't change anything. They just help you to escape from reality for some moments.. That can be fun, but it's nothing more...

"A hippie is supposed to be someone who becomes aware - you're hip if you know what's going on. But if you're really hip, you don't get involved with LSD and things like that. You see the potential that it has and the good that can come from it, but you also see that you don't really need it." George Harrison

 

Your even more hip if you dont give in to it :sunglasse
