The Family is an all exclusive group of people who run a underground organization of producing and selling acid. They hang around festies and were Grateful Dead pins. They are sure to point out that they won't give you "family" prices and you gotta pay in full.
HAHA I hope you guys realize this was satirical. I have no clue about The Family at all unless your talking about The Adams Family... But in all seriousness, all I know about The Family is that it is not because I know this only because from the general consensus, it's all that can be known
‘Family is used to describe the brotherhood. There's the Dead family, rainbow family and there are families of the various types of crystal. Usually you're part of more than one of these families, if not all of them. It's all family. The network of the counterculture that started 40+ years ago.’ "The Family were essentially the penultimate hippies. They toured around with the Grateful Dead, ate a shitload of acid, and produced and distributed the acid for most of the country. To the Family, LSD is a sacrament; a gift from above. The Family truly believe(d) that LSD is light and goodness and 'The Way'."
