Are drugs a requirement to being a hippy?

hahah i love kids please bring it back in the youth young ones. Drugs are the best though you cant feel upside down, sideways, flat, and everywere wile knowing anything but everything unless your on them if yeah feel me

 

raw food will get you higher than all your tripping buddies. im talking about the kind of high where your ready to walk on water.

 

you dont have to take drugs to be a hippie.you just have to be yourself.

 

Nice. That made me laugh totally. Good Stuff man.

I dont believe that drugs make you hip. Like many people have said its a personal choice.

 

shit.. i said yeah. i think if you dont smoke you dont understand. so yes.

 

Hippies are from the late 60's, the were part of the new left...everyne who claims to be a hippy now is imitating

 

^^^ agreed most people who were hippies in the 60s are now leading the country or gave up on peace in general. I consider a "hippie" someone who's religion is derived from drugs. Since after there trip they get a piece of the puzzle and see what hippies were about in the 60s. I'm not saying there isn't a new psychedelic counter culture but its real underground. Since we all know change can not be made everything the hippie movement stood for is now dead exept the following Freedom, and Love. Peace and Revolution are inposible. So if you consider yourself a hippie you are honestly only 50% hippie. Then agin if your triped out sideways and don't consider yourself a hippie you try to hard to make yourself not look like a fake hippie..... Dope fiends are silly

 

i used to think that if you wanted to be a hippie you had to smoke pot.

but after i went through a major change i realised that drugs arent required in order to be a hippie. its all a frame of mind.

i made a decision to stop smoking pot until i finish school, because i want to challenge myselfand do well at school. and just another reason added to my list.... you dont have to do drugs to be a hippie.
peace

 

I like this thread because alot of my life philosophy is based on the opening question. As for you praying4peace weed has nothing to do at all with being a hippie. Back in the 60s and 70s weed was everywere for everybuddy even for people who didn't consider them selfs hippies. Were the relation to weed and hippies comes in is just drugs in general. So when people who don't get drugs think hippie they think weed because thats a drug they can understand "o that hippie is high". In truth all weed sucked dick back in the 60s and just made you sleepy. What made hippies become hippies back in the 60s was LSD that started it and for people that didn't take it still influenced them threw the music they listened to or what not. It also became the rebellion to do like early 50 motor cycle clubs, late 50 early 60s beet nick, 60s hippie, 70s junkies, 80s punks, 90s grunge & rap, and today rap and new alt rock. So why should I bring all this up to show you what most people think of todays hippie kids ecpesily the young ones. You ever look at green day fans and go man them kids aint punk at all they have no idea what it stands for. Well thats what old hippies who gave it up think and people in your schools and friend circles think. Im not saying your fake but if you go around going hey mannnnn or peace everygod damn min look at yourself and think is that me. Thats the end of my rant on this topic if you got any questions please contact me but let me finish with this drugs don't make you "hip" they cure problems that people have, if you want to be "hip" remember green day, and most inportently if you feel like your a good person and believe in peace your probley really smart so don't do drugs because it will eventually lead to LSD then you'll know what im talking about. So please if you think you can do some good do some fucking good and don't get high all god damn day.

 

I love getting high. But that's because I choose to do it. You don't have tou if you don't want to!

 

:H no,drugs are not an requirement. it's lifestyle. and personally i drink.:jester:

 

Hippies are those who are at peace with them selfs and at peace with the world!! Drugs arent nessacary!! But yes they are very fun!!!!!!!!!!




Golden Sunshine!!

 

I would NEVER take drugs (excluding medicene) or drink alcohol but i guess thats how i was/am brought up. My folks don't smoke, drink or puff etc and as far as i know never have.

 

hippies....were from.....the 60's....

people can be "hip" nowadays, but no one is a hippy. Unless youve been rockin the tie die loud and proud since 69' that is. Drugs had everything to do with the original hippies (LSD mainly). If you didnt do drugs you were a square, a slave to the system trapped in a giant trench of social conformity. Drugs were how they seperated themselves from the rest of the tainted american society at the time because if gave them an outsiders perspective on how much it sucked. It was part of their generation, one of the many things that seperated them from their parents. No one is a hippy unless your out there protesting and actively trying to make a difference with a large group of people. Drugs wouldnt have anything to dowith it nowadays because alot of people do drugs, even clones of the American machine do drugs. Its no longer a seperating factor.

If you do psychedelic drugs nowadays and you have the hippie-ish mindset = Raver
If you smoke weed = pothead
coke = cokehead
Meth = Methhead

drugs dont make you a hippie anymore. They just make you American ;-D

 

Jesus Christ, PsychMike answered the shit outta that question. I kind of dont want to post after him, but what the hell. all you "hippy" assholes who are posting on this thread need to get your heads out of you asses. Almost every everyone of you says that you don't use drugs, that they aren't necessary to life, or to be a hippy. Well thats a load of crap because the entire concept of the counter-culture is to rise against the lessons school , tv and parents impose on us. you're all just parroting health class drug lessons- how you don't need drugs to be yourself and friends don't pressure friends. Don't you realize that you aren't really hippies, your exactly the same as the mainstream you so conveniently disregard. Drugs=enlightenment=revolution. No wonder no one likes hippies, theyre contradictory hypocritical assholes.

 

I believe that all hippies should have the choice. I like to think like hippies, grow my hair, be open minded, and do natural drugs, but I don't think others have to to be hippies.

 

this conversation is so stupid... when people actually call themselves a "hippie" theyre not saying it because theyre trying to conform to some sort of set of stereotypes that people associate with being a hippie.. theyre just saying it because they know theyre lifestyle comes off as what people call a hippie.. im sitting here wishing that people didn't stereotype me as a hippie/druggy/freak etc because from "mainstream" people always end up looking down on you one way or another for it... but people are sitting here on these forums actually worrying if they wont be a "hippie" anymore if they stop doing drugs, like its some sort of freakin title of accomplishment! if your sitting here worry about that, dont worry the answer is NO. it doesnt make your a hippie and you arent a hippie! you arent because a real "hippie"(although i dont actually label people like that anything) doesnt even think like that, its pretty against everything like labelling and judging people based on shallow things like that.... but of course the actually people who think like us arent calling themselves hippies in the sense you are.. maybe saying hippie just because they know thats a word for it.. but we dont act anyway to fit into any sort of "rules"... thats fucked up man...

psychemike isnt right about it either... hes analyzing people as shallowly as you are...

being "hippie" isnt a title to conform to, its a lifestyle and mindset that the mainstream has labeled hippie overtime... i guess because it came from something that was a style to conform from.. beatnic/hipster because hippie over time.. meaning to be hip.. but what that became is contradictory to its original meaning and its one thing when normal people dont get that its ok.. but when people calling themselves hippies in that way.. like to fit into the retro fad thats fucked up... and its not like you cant even dress like a hippie just as a trend.. thats fine.. but dont take it so damn seriously.. your turning into something you think you have to conform to.. and thinking you have to conform to anything is fucked up.. especially when the thing your trying to conform to was about not conforming in the first place!!

 

First Of All, Of Course You Don't Have To Do Any Type Of Drug To Be A "Hippie"And Second, Dexis, You Are Quick To Say That PsycheMike And Solareyna Are "Shallowly Analyzing" People When All I See Them Doing Are Expressing Their Opinions, Just As You Were, Just As We ALL Do Here...No Conversation Is Stupid When In Response To An Honest, Simple Question...But Hey, That's Just My Opinion : )

 

oh let the kids think theyre "hippies"

and no nothing is an requirement to do drugs

 

Definitely not. Being a hippy is a culture, a way of life. You don't need drugs to live; they just enhance life, not a requirement.
