The effects of even a few experiences with LSD, or other powerful synthetics, can impair an individual's ability to be supremely productive as an activist within society on any consistent, positive basis. 

I would hypothesize that if marijuana had been the most powerful drug accessible by the hippie class of persons, the 'Summer of Love' time period, during 1967 through 1970 and the entire progressive movement of the mid-sixties would have been infinitely more successful.  They perhaps would have been in a position to really threaten the lies of the military-industrial complex that evolved after the assassination of President Kennedy. 

Yet we shall never have an opportunity to really know how life would have turned out if the hippies had not 'tuned out', and, in my opinion, that is a drastic loss for modern American society.
