Many people find themselves misinformed regarding what exactly happened to the hippies of the late 60’s and 70’s. The belief that the psyconautical, tie-dye sporting, van-driving, happy-go-lucky counterculture has hence been disbanded is a common misconception. All that has occurred is the divergent evolution of a community. More clearly, for the predecessor breed, some did stay loyal to the soft, spacey, feel-good rock of the era like “The Grateful Dead,” and Jimi Hendrix. Then with the turn of a new decade many were able to put Woodstock in their rear view and drive to the outskirts of town for some laser lights and glow-sticks.

A new level of acceptance, absent from seemingly every other culture, has reared its head. Despite the majority of the community are Millennials, the sincere members disregard all preconceptions of people regardless of age, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.( This is not entirely of its own doing.

It is most interpretively concluded youth generation has become weary of the guilt and prejudices of their elders or ancestors, in response they rebel to become unique and united.

One could also argue its the governments fault for making all these illegal drugs people are inevitably going to do unregulated, but it would nullify their strict zero-tolerance policy. The apex of the problem lies in the education of affects these substances have on both the physical and metaphysical aspect of their body. Longterm abuse of these drugs can cause lasting detrimental effects to ones body and psyche, even found to even induce psychosis.(Barnes,& Nut) Ironically enough, the leading factor of these drug related deaths appears to be not the drug itself, but instead dehydration, heat exhaustion, kidney failure, and being trampled to death. “MDMA-related deaths are rarely the result of an overdose, and calling them overdoses is dangerous and negligent. It sends the message that-“you will be okay as long as you don’t take too much,” which is simply not true.
