Big time music location. Did you attend many concerts?I was a real Hippy, I spent many a day in Height Ashbury in the late 60s. Then I had to get a real job
My first concert was blue oyster cult and Aldo nova. Saw twisted sister a few times. Rainbow and alcaztazz, iron maiden and frehleys comet and Kansas. My brother had the back of his door covered on ticket stubs. I left in 88 myself.

Yes but I don't remember them. I woke up in the bushes of the panhandle in Golden Gate park so many times I should have had a post box there.
Sorry I thought you were addressing me lol..NY had a pretty good music scene as well. I'd say I'm hippy adjacent lol..I like the peace and love and expanding consciousness. I think the Altamont festival put an end to that
My Dad went from a hippy to a yuppy in the 80's

I went from a Hippy to the Army. My inner Hippie was always there. Once I retired from the Army, my inner Hippy and I got reacquainted quick.
We are once again one and the same. I credit cannabis for helping me be the best version of myself I can be.

Growing is work. Hippies (while they were hippies; most changed with time) generally were not well suited for and not interested in work. Between that and few if any real hippies being around any more, that's a major factor why they aren't visible among the grow community.
Many decades ago (70s), when there were still real 'hippies,' I and my peers (righteous local dealers, now would be growers) looked down on them. We called them 'pies.' Good people, good values, good consumers, etc. But they worked at spacing around all day and avoided doing anything gainful or constructive (even dealing); many were multi(any/all all the time)-drug users, abusers and/or burn outs; while we put in time and did the work and took risks to keep their supply lines open. The other major group (at least among those in their 20s at the time) was the political/activist types, and they also looked down on the 'pies.'
