      bruh you have no idea how correct you are on that

      “By the mid-1960s the backlash against the use of LSD and its perceived corrosive effects on cultural values resulted in governmental action to restrict the availability of the drug by making use of it illegal.[29]”

      now let’s all have a sit down and think about the state of the “cultural values” if feeling love towards your fellow human beings, and jamming to music is somehow corrosive to them… just- i have no idea how people fell for that bullshit
