I lived in a house with some hippies in the ‘80s. They were expecting cross-country visitors one summer. The visitors showed up later than expected because they’d driven into Canada on a whim. When returning they got busted with seeds in their ashtray, and lost dad’s car. They showed up carrying backpacks. The WOD was fought against low level users, to be sure. At the highest levels, the Feds may have been involved in trafficking.
America smokes a lot of weed. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that enemies, whether foreign or domestic, exploit that fact.
“...hippies in the ‘80’s”????
By the 1980’s there were no more “Hippies”, just wannabees.
