in Persia, whose leader the Persian reformer 2a3da*, adocated communal liing, the sharingof resources, egetarianism and free loe'

The early hippies inherited a tradition of cultural dissent from ohemians and eatni*s of

the eat 4eneration'

Hippies created their own communities, listened topsychedelic music, embraced the se5ual

reolution, and some used drugs such as cannabis, 6"7, and psilocybin mushrooms to

e5plore altered states of consciousness' The ideology behind the moement was based on peace, loe and personal freedom and, as a

conse8uence, deeloped a huge following' Inariably, the hippies endeaored to e5press their

freedom in the way they dressed, which indirectly reflected their thoughts, attitude, ideas and

way of life'
