Orange Sunshine was pretty mellow, Owsley's Purple Haze was rather mind
shattering and pure Sandoz very creepy. Psilocybin was hallucinogen
without paranoia (LSD probably had that side effect due to stuff it was
cut with). The drug I stayed away from was cocaine. I can thank Johnny
Cash since he claimed it gave him a "deviated septum" and none us in my
band wanted that.
In 1970 I gave George Lucas a copy of "Autobiography of a Yogi" and he
told me he was going to read it. Guess he did.

Richard, I was a long married, suburban housewife during the early
hippie movement. Funnily enough, my hubby and I got our marijuana from
a guy stationed at Ft. Meade! Go figger indeed. I was too scared to do
LSD, thank God!

We attended class and listened to Stephen Gaskin every Monday evening
for several months back in 1970. He gave lectures at the Family Dog
and hundreds of people would gather to get high and listen to his
words of wisdom. Gaskin is the first person to explain to me what
karma means. A few weeks later I was able to use that word in a
sentence talking to Travis Rivers about the SF Oracle newspaper.
Stephen Gaskin, R.I.P.
This was the early days when if you had read Yogananda's book you were
considered to be advanced spiritually. By then I was reading /Tibetan
Yoga and Secret Doctrines/. Go figure. For those who were too young or
weren't born yet, have you ever wondered what it would have been like
to be in the first wave of hippies that crested in the late 1960s and
early 70s? Here is a nice report:
