Believe it or not, when LSD and marijuana first became popular, I was actually excited because I (like eventually even Elvis) thought that drugs could change the thinking that got us into wars and racism

I'd never put together that aspect of drug usage in the 60's. That's a good perspective to remember. Thanks for posting.

I watched my two brothers semi-destroyed by drugs. No ambition, always hiding the drugs, and thinking no one knew they were druggies. Not ‘addicts’ but recreational users. I love my brothers, but they broke my heart. And we’re are all Baby Boomers.

Nothing destroys your sense of reality like using drugs. I never used drugs and I thank my old fashioned, old country upbringing for that.

The whole sixties thing was a giant psyops invented by the Tavistock Institute in England. With friends like England, who needs enemies.

Now (sadly) their liberal progeny do not even need drugs to reason like they were on them.
