1) absolutely, this is a multigenerational social decay, could not have happened all ot once, hippies had babies and they were punks and their babies were grunge and extreme and now they are parents and think it is normal to go to Drag Queen reading hour with their children and even give them sterilizing hormones and undergo surgery to affirm their gender. Thats the trajectory.
2) still hanging onto a branch in the screaming insane river once known as California, but I have to hand it to the Mexicans and other Central/South Americans here, they aren't falling for this baloney, hard workers, family oriented and friendly like I remember humans used to be.
I am very interested in your opinions of the hippies at the time when you were left to be a parent on your own.
You do not hear that side too often do you? I don't. Its all about the greatness.
But it ripped the social structure of families apart and redefined relationships.
And did little to actually stop the war, if anything, it gave the antiwar movement an ugly face, an easy target.
Perhaps this is is myth, but somewhere I read Abbie Hoffman once said, "we had a real good anti war movement going on, we were doing things, and then all these hippies showed up. Where did they come from?"
Makes the Laurel Canyon conspiracy appear valid, imo.
Parents on drugs not a perfect environment for a child. Of course there were differences. Some couples better than others. However drugs and often sex were in 24/7 supply. I'm raised very conservative. Not my cuo of tea. I know for some Marijuana is at least psychologically addictive and can lead to other drugs. My husband was given his first marijuana cigarette by a Frat brother. He had lived a life of big expectations by his mom. He was often written up in his local paper as first in everything she pushed him to try. I think Marijuana was the first time he relaxed. Went on to LSD and eventually heroin. After the war ended he got his life together. Somewhat! Became a carpenter and remarried. Died at age 49 of throat cancer. He was a nice, decent kid. Our daughter is outstanding in her constant kindness to other people.

Most hippies quit after Vietnam ended. Became employed and moved to the suburbs.
Because it was a social fad and not anything real outside of co-opting the anti-war movement.
All college kids or graduates. My husband dropped out of college to join the movement. I didn't do drugs so didn't fit in. Left to raise our daughter.
And there you go.
That is exactly what I am talking about.
