People love to make fun of the sixties and drug use.

However, the last I saw drug overdose deaths have increased several hundred percent. This isn't the peace and love generation expressing themselves, what we have today is hard core addictions.

And the most to blame is the US war on drugs. The harder the DEA tried the more the illegal drug industry invented **** that could be easily secreted, small and virtually odorless.

They have achieved their aim, fentenyl claimed 904 lives in the city of Vancouver alone last year, and now comes news there is a new one which is five times stronger than fentenyl and a single addictive pill can be manufactured as small as one centimeter. Think about that, enough to kill a city in something the size of a cell phone.

Meanwhile we continue to wring our hands over "deadly marijuana" which just happens to be the best drug on which to detoxify the user.

Of course.

But here I was having some fun with the black-light psychedelia aspects of it.

Do you remember where this iconic photo is from? The event? Why it occurred? The speakers? The "provider"? The mantra that was born that day? It all started there ...

Just keep your clothes on this time, getting down to your underwear is OK at the club, but this looks like a family event.

I'd guess I was slightly older than the kid behind the left leg of the guy in the foreground when that happened, and that the two answers to the quiz are Owsley and Leary. Is either of them correct? I'd go for the mantra, but I don't want to risk a 3rd guess.

Great work so far, <alt>doxygen! :thumbs:

Two right, out of two!

But there's still, the event? The Why was it done? And the mantra? I suspect with your knowing one of the main speakers, along with the "provider", you've probably got a decent idea of the mantra.

So I'm, going to let this hang-out a bit more, and come back tomorrow to see if anyone adds to it.

See ya' later, my fellow human being! :cheers:

Wow, I guessed it. Was a little to young to have been there, but saw my (slightly) elders go through the era and I've read a lot about it. Plus there's the music, some of which had a massive influence on my life.

For a reason too weird to explain here, I'm re-skimming The Electric Kool-aide Acid Test now. Strange stuff. It's interesting to read about the differences between the Kesey and Alpert/Leary takes on dealing with it all. Check out The Harvard Psychedelic Club, if you have time.

"Turn on, tune in, drop out"?:cheers: Indeed!

^^ <-- Bingo!

Now all that's missing, is "What?" and "Why?"! ;)

I'm not really sure on those. I could guess, but that would be pushing my luck. If no one gets it right, please clue me in. TIA, and:peace!
