First of all I just wanna say that I'm glad I found this. I'm 21 years old and can appreciate the perspective of someone the same age in your era, it's fascinating. Me and you are very similar, I was pushing heroin since 16 and lived the fast life until I finally had a paradigm shift and became "scared straight" if you know what I mean.
I'm very interested in the 1960's counterculture ever since I learned about MKULTRA. I'm fully convinced that the CIA was trying to PSYOP your generation through psychelic drugs. It was a very clever social engineering campaign and I think you would appreciate this http://www.gnosticmedia.com/manufacturing-the-deadhead-a-product-of-social-engineering-by-joe-atwill-and-jan-irvin/
I'm looking forward to reading your old posts
