Marie-Therese Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Steal a hippie's pot stash and you'd find out quickly how warmonger-ish they could get. They'd sic all their mutt dogs and kids on you from inside their VW Bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I wish I wasn't being serious.) I also have a brother who lives in Santa Cruz who lost a lot of his brain cells from smoking pot every day for 20 years. He still doesn't realize the 60's are over. Oh yeah, I was at Berkeley during the Vietnam war. However, I never got-tear gassed because I came down with measles, and my mother drove to Berkeley to rescue me just before my dorm was tear-gassed. But, the sight of the "Blue Meanies" in riot gear marching up the street was very scary. Was I a true hippie? No, although my patched jeans are the real thing. But, as an observer, I was surrounded by hippies from all sides, include my wannabe hippie parents who smoked pot and marched in peace marches and my peers at Berkeley.

You know? It's like I tooootally am on the same level as you. It's almost like we were totally having the same though. Dude, that's trippy. It, like, totally gives me a new perspective on, like, life and everything, man. Totally changed how I think about this, it's like I'm, like, enlightened or something man. [/quote] That's why I never smoked pot in college--which made me a distinct minority at Berkeley, where pot was much more available and accepted than either cigarettes or beer. People who are stoned on dope are incredibly boring, and I never wanted to be that boring. At the same time, there were a lot of people who were very much against tobaccco cigarettes. True story--my girl's dorm shared a dining hall with the boy's dorm. No one smoked tobacco cigarettes except these two girls from New York. So, one night at dinner, a bunch of my friends from the boy's dorm sat at the table with the "smoker girls" and spent the whole dinner smoking "invisible cigarettes." Most of the guys I knew would not date a woman who smoked tobacco cigarettes. Beer was mostly for frat guys. Yes, in those days, there were still girls and boys dorms, but all dorms were open 24/7 and there were no restrictions on visiting by the opposite sex. It might as well have been in a coed dorm, because every time I went out into the hall, there were always boys there. Berkeley was a long strange trip, but I never regret going there.

[/quote] Sorry, I should have said something like "without clothing." I used "nekkid" because I thought it would be acceptable because it is funny. Plus, I was not suggesting that any of us remove our clothing, simply describing what my parents (Yes, my parents!) did in the process of "finding themselves" in the 60's. I love my mother very much, but one year, when she was much younger, she spent a whole summer at Esalen gardening while without clothing on her upper body. Needless to say, I didn't visit her. Even when I lived in California, I realized my childhood was unusual, but I have lots of fun shocking people in the Midwest with tales of life in Northern California in the 60's. I think Northern California is STILL very different from Chicago, but I realize I have a skewed view because my sister and her family, and my mother, all live in Berkeley.

I'm new, and I haven't "met" you, so I err on the side of apologizing unless I am sure it is clear that someone is kidding and I haven't offended. Personally, I like the word "nekkid." Every time I type it, it makes me laugh! We're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
