Ask The Hippy Guy

Ask The Hippy Guy
*

If you ever really wanted to know what the hippies were really like, or what the sixties were like in Southern California, here's your chance.

Simply post your question to comments.

And if you don't, I'll be forced to ask my own.

I'd love to hear from folks.

Ok. So nobody has any questions?

Alright, so I'll start.

Mmm. What is a European joint?

The Hippy Guy said...

Glad I asked.

European Joint:

Take two of your favorite rolling papers. I prefer regular Zig Zags or Marfils.

Lick the glue on one paper and place it diagonally on the back of the other paper so that together one end will be much larger than the other.

(You may have to backfill the large end especially if you're rolling shake. A pen will work well, put I prefer a chopstick.)

Roll the number in such a way that it's tiny on one end and huge on the other. Be sure to light the large end well so that the hooter doesn't run.

That's it! Have fun!

My boss is always sniffing my fingers when I come back from lunch to see if I've been getting high. What do I do to keep from getting busted?

Take an orange with you to lunch. Remove the little green tips at the ends and using a pen or a chopstick poke a hole through the center of the orange.

Insert your joint at one end and toke from the other. This will help to keep the smell off of your hands due to less contact with the refer itself.

Also, if you're in public it will look like you're just sucking on a smokey orange.

When you're done, eat the orange and nature will help cover up any remaining smell with the fresh sweet smell of fruit.

That's it! Have fun!

Hey Po,
It's me, Sheila. No question, just a comment. I was born in 1962 and grew up in Lexington, Ky. Well I remember Hippies around my area because I lived close to the University of Kentucky and I guess there were alot that went to school there. I remember one came up to me when I was about 9 years old and he told me to tell my parents not to vote for Nixon. One time some of them gave us kids in the neighborhood a couple of boxes of peace signs and other fun things,so,we hung them on our porches and in our rooms! I always thought they were the coolest and nicest people.

(Nick) i wouldnt know first hand, but what i hear is that salvia divinorum is pretty good, and you can roll up some leaves into a "quid" and chew on it instead of smoking them. but more easily accessible is nutmeg. get 4 teaspoons of nutmeg and put them into some empty gelatin capsules and youll get stoned a few hours later so if you eat some salvia and some nutmeg at the same time youll be stoned the whole day! i take some nutmeg at 6 when i wake up and i feel it through till 6pm.

sandals said...

dont eat more than 3 tablespoons of nutmeg though. it might kill you or make you vomit. you should research anything before you try it. and you might not feel it until 6 hours later. (the nutmeg) go to erowid.com or wikiedia or maybe you know a reliable internet source but i recommend erowid.com

Oh, that's easy, man. Get a couple of other chicks and if she doesn't get jealous and come to you then at least you have a couple of other chicks. You can't have enough chicks, man.

Music. Music does it for me. Don't try that drinking a gallon of water in an insane amount of time, it's dangerous. Smoking catnip doesn't work either, man. Oh, and never, ever put instant coffee in horse capsules.

My E-mail address is the.hippy.guy@gmail.com

In the sixties the DMT was synthetic and you took it in a horse capsule. I thought the world was made of eyes looking back at me!

The Salvia of the weak variety isn't much different than smoking mint. It's a high but not a great one. Be careful with the really strong stuff, have somebody you trust with you. It can put your lights out for a bit. The other downside is that you might not remember being high! I didn't.

Hi there,
I am currently writing my dissertation :o(which is based on the Hippy Culture of the 60's and its effect on graphic design.
I need to collect some primary research, in the form of a questionnaire/online survey and was wondering if anybody would mind answering some questions?
Thank you for your time,
Rachael


Here are the questions:

1. How long have you been a hippy?
2. Were you a hippy of the sixties?
3. What are your experiences or memories from being a hippy in the 60’s?
4. What protests have you done? Why were they so important for you to do?
5. How has hallucinatory drugs influenced your life?
6. What does it mean to you to be a hippy?
7. Why and how did you become a hippy?
8. Have you ever felt discrimination from the police/judiciary as a result of being a hippy?
9. Have you been involved in any way to do with poster design associated with the hippy culture, such as war/protest posters or psychedelic posters? (This could include creating them or admiring them)
10. Do you or have you read any underground magazines such as ‘Black Dwarf’ or ‘Oz’? Why do you like them?


If there is anything else you wish to add, which I have forgotten, please do! It will only help with my research x

Hi Rachel!

Really, you should probably e-mail me at the.hippy.guy@gmail.com for this kind of thing as it could get lengthy for this format, but I'll try to answer these questions briefly:

1. How long have you been a hippy?

While I agreed with a lot of hippy stuff I didn't consider myself to be a hippy until I started smoking pot in 1968, a sort of right of passage.

2. Were you a hippy of the sixties?

Yup.

3. What are your experiences or memories from being a hippy in the 60’s?

Too many to be remembered here. But the most important thing was a sense of social consciousness and a distrust of the entire status quo.

4. What protests have you done? Why were they so important for you to do?

I considered my lifestyle to be a living protest. I co-wrote an underground newsletter, was too young to be directly involved with many protests though I happened upon them and was more of an observer than an actual participant. The peace protest with Jerry Rubin appearing at UCLA was the most memorable, I think it was 1969 or '70.

5. How has hallucinatory drugs influenced your life?

They allowed me to see the world in a whole new way, one that had no preconceptions nor bias. Like smelling salts for my consciousness.

6. What does it mean to you to be a hippy?

Hippies were essentially people who were keenly aware that the government was lying to everyone. It meant that they were hip to the lies and were unafraid to show it.

7. Why and how did you become a hippy?

I found the movement to become socially conscious very compelling. I was inspired first by the civil rights movement, later by the anti-war movement.

8. Have you ever felt discrimination from the police/judiciary as a result of being a hippy?

Used to get stopped and searched by the police all of the time and suffered no few altercations with people just for having long hair. There was one judge who really tried to nail me for pot but I had a good attorney who proved illegal search and seizure, much to the judge's sore displeasure.

9. Have you been involved in any way to do with poster design associated with the hippy culture, such as war/protest posters or psychedelic posters? (This could include creating them or admiring them)

Long been an admirer of the popular art form, especially the political posters.

10. Do you or have you read any underground magazines such as ‘Black Dwarf’ or ‘Oz’? Why do you like them?

Zap Comics, which I believe was the first of them and the only one that I read with any regularity. Mr.Natural and The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers were ones that I read now and again.

Please feel free to contact me via e-mail, you might find my MySpace blog to be of interest, there I take a much more serious and in depth look at the sixties as the profound sociological phenomena that it truly was:
