There was a ton of cannabis use throughout the 60's, and it was widely associated with mass protest back then. In fact, that was probably one of the main reasons it was made illegal. On the other hand, cannabis (like every other drug) does not necessarily lead people to think or act a certain way. A huge part of its effect depends on set and setting. The culture around cannabis use probably influences how people act on it much more than the drug itself.
