There wasn't really something that struck me is there was kind of this self-policing, like ethic, amongst the street kids, I have to say, and it was surprising because it was pretty much self-policed.
Matthew and Laura take listeners on a nostalgic trip to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, the epicenter of the 60s hippie movement. In this episode of 'We Changed Our Minds', they share their early days in the city, highlighting its vibrant counterculture history. Joining them is Tsvi Deer, a local legend, who brings a unique perspective on the underground scene of Haight-Ashbury. Tsvi recounts the self-policing ethos among street kids and the evolution of drug use and harm reduction over the years.
The discussion also touches on community-driven initiatives like the free store and medical care that defined the neighborhood's spirit. From the birth of the hippie movement to its commercial resurgence, this episode offers an engaging look at a pivotal time in history. Special appearances by Phil Lesh and musical guest Carleigh Kennedy add an extra layer of charm to this captivating conversation.
