Been Bio-Engineered into brain slush for the masses.The rest became like T.Blair and his cronies...... I'm off; happy in my hippy hat and my son's m8's singing T-rex in the kitchen.... Mmm...Smells familiar.....Hybrid flowers devolving back to their roots and new shoots sprouting.....

Have a listen to Hillage's 'Love guitar' and you'll see them every where and nowhere.

Answer 5

Be it as it may and ever since the advent of "Sinsemilla" (back in the day) the "law of dimishing return has come into play. Less seed stock=less flowers (although potency is dramatically increased I hear). The flower children have matured, taken root in many gardens and the beauty of the flora to some degree has metamorphed into fauna.

Answer 6

Smiles, they've been a long time passing.

I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

As an "OLD" Hippie, I know that they are pressed into pages, virtual and real, to be found and recalled again one day. For me it was a "Cultural" experience, an ICON time in my life, when it was possible to complain and restrain, know both sad and glad, be on top, or bottom, accepting middle as OK,

There has never, nor will there ever, be another decade that replicates the "60's", and for that alone, I'm content in having experienced it.

I did once and still do, also believe in some nebulous context of PUFF The Magic Dragon, and that might cause me some sadness.

Good Q, thank you.

Hey, man- those that could took up organic farming, did solar power projects until the oil-igarchy starved them out, many departed for British Columbia, took odd jobs while they developed and refined the best sensimilla (as a hobby, y'understand). Some of their compatriots in USA undergoing chemotherapy are most grateful...

Here in Silicon Valley, the college potheads of the time are currently doing quite well for themselves, based on the Web and computers they brought to the public. They might do regular techie jobs, but the counterculture is still vibrant and on the leading edge. (How do you suppose they get their ideas?)

Back then, we held that anything is possible, now we're proving it!
