psilocybin, and mescaline, while often renouncing the use of alcohol.Hippies sought to free themselves from societal restrictions, choose

their own way, and find new meaning in life. One expression of hippie independence from societal norms was found in their standard of dress and grooming, which made hippies instantly recognizable to

one another, and served as a visual symbol of their respect for individual rights. Through their appearance, hippies declared their

willingness to question authority, and distanced themselves from the "straight" and "square" segments of society.
