This title is not to be read as a coherent sentence but as a list of titles bequeathed upon groups of attendees at Smithtown Central Junior &High School. (I couldn’t figure out how to get the word Hippy in there.) I didn’t belong to any of these clubs, as many of us didn’t, but that’s what made these groups of kids stand out. They were the minority separate from the majority. Many just wanted to belong and be accepted and to be recognized as most kids yearned for.

Instead of expanding their brains they were numbing them. They wanted to be anesthetized, not expanded. (At the time I was real naive of the drug culture. I didn’t partake…yet, and when I did it was strictly pot. I would tell people, “No thank you. I’m already on the edge and don’t need anything to push me over.) But, with that heavy shit I just laid on ya man, there was still plenty of Playground Drugs, with pot being the most popular. But back to the hard shit. There was this huge kid who had to be 350+ pounds and about six foot five tall. He was a huge teddy bear and the opposite of threatening. Real nice and real numb.

Plus, it was so addictive that “A pregnant mother sold her body to get another hit”(51). This drives home the point that drugs are detrimental to one’s mentality and health. A mother, responsible for another life on top of hers, is willing to sell her body for drugs.

Drugs had such a big impact in society in the 1960’s because they reached out to more people than just the hippies at the time.

The 1960’s wouldn’t have been the 60’s without the
