“I think everybody did their share of experimenting in the 1960s with drugs. My story is real simple. I was taking amphetamines in the late 60s and I was addicted to them.

“LSD was my "wonder child", we had a positive reaction from everywhere in the world. Around two thousand publications about it appeared in scientific journals and everything was fine. Then, at the beginning of the 1960s, here in the United States, LSD became a drug of abuse. In a short time, this wave of popular use swept the country and it became "drug number one". It was then used without caution and people were not prepared and informed about its deep effects. Instead of a "wonder child", LSD suddenly became my "problem child".” PeopleWorldChildrenTwoCountryStatesUseProblemUsedUnitedNumbersWonderUnited StatesEffectsFineDrugThousandAbusePreparedWaveReactionsJournalCaution1960sPublicationShort TimeLsdProblem Child Author:Albert Hofmann

“From a very young age, my father put a lot of fear in me and it worked. I think it's important for children to have fear. I never was curious about drugs or alcohol. I was born in 1960 and back then the older kids were smoking pot. I wasn't interested in that ever and I always had this thing in me, for some reason, that if God was kind enough to give me a healthy body and mind, I was not going to screw it up.” ThinkingGivingMindKindChildrenImportantReasonEnoughKidsAgeFatherHealthyDrugAlcoholCuriousSmokingPot1960sMind And BodyHealthy Body Author:Scott Baio
“I would say the 1980s, most importantly, there's been a witnessing of the bankruptcy of the liberal philosophy and the anti-moral and amoral philosophies that were so prevalent in the 1960s and '70s, the rebellion of young people, which brought about the drug epidemic in so many to break down the family. Particularly during this decade, the spiritual rebirth. I'm an evangelical, and I've watched the evangelical church here and around the world preaching Christ, the death, burial, resurrection of the savior, receiving more receptivity everywhere, and that growth.” PeopleWorldPhilosophySpiritualGrowthChristChurchBreakDrugRebellionSaviorResurrectionPreachingBreaking DownRebirth1960sEvangelicalBankruptcyBurialMoral PhilosophyReceptivity Author:Jerry Falwell
