Hippies are marginalized? I thought all of that movement has been more or less mainstreamed over the past forty years. This isn’t exactly Crowley’s England.

- netizen-936824 5y agoDrug using hippies are marginalized.
- 52-6F-62 5y agoAre they? Everywhere I look cannabis use has virtually normalized outside of outdated and contrived legal frameworks, and 1%er business tycoons are micro-dosing on the job for presumed spiritual and/or perceptual advantages. I'm not sure how that counts as marginalized.
- netizen-936824 5y agoYou need to consider your informational sphere, considering you are on HN its probably vastly different than 95% of the US. Most of the US still views drug use as a criminal issue, including psychedelics. Psychedelics are still central to large pieces of the counter culture.
- 52-6F-62 5y agoI live and operate well outside of the typical sphere of Hacker News. Cannabis has been normalized across my country for decades. It's well known for it.
- netizen-936824 5y agoI'm talking about things like LSD and MDMA, cannabis is not exactly a psychedelic.
- 52-6F-62 5y agoMDMA and LSD are marginalized? Everyone I've ever known has either tried them or knows someone who has. Psilocybin even more so. That was practically a rite of passage growing up in rural Canada.
