I have heard from a lot of people that in 60s or 70s, there was this culture common. People doing LSDs, dancing, having strange aesthetics, entry of Eastern religions into West and all that spirituality and if I am not wrong, conservative institutions of that time in West like church, families, and etc. did not like that and were in opposition of that.

I have never met a person who used to be a hippy so I thought why not ask here. What made you a hippy? What was your parents’ reaction? How long did you remain a hippy? How was the experience?

    I once said that you can overdose on anything, and the girl I was hanging out with said, “that’s not true! You can’t overdose on water!”

    I sardonically replied, “They call that drowning.”

    You can overdose on water, and it is different than drowning.

    Drink too much water too quickly and it can cause a potentially fatal electrolyte imbalance.
