There was something else happening during the 60s and 70s when acid was in it heyday and that was hippies...

Hippies attracted a lot of whacked out mentally ill people because hippies looked, well, kinda whacked out themselves... Okay, me included...

So a lot on mentally ill people hung with hippies... I knew a few... And yeah, these people did LSD just like everyone else did... So I would be very hesitant to make a statement that it was the LSD that whacked these people out... Might not of helped their situation but like I first posted here: If you were messed up before LSD you were going to be messed up afterwards...

Now, as for prohibition??? This wasn't an "urban legend" at all...

There were thousands and thousands of stills and thousands and thousands of bootleggers running 100 gallons at a time in V-8 Fords... And there were thousands and thousands of cops trying to catch 'um... A darned good book is "Driving with the Devil" which talks all about it...
