Opinions - Do you think LSD was a major influence in the outcome of the Vietnam war?

[Dalfir]

I imagine if so, that would be the biggest contributor to its controlled status. In previous times of war, patriotic men would blindly follow their government's orders no matter the cost of life. Then, suddenly, thousands upon thousands of young people start growing their hair long, dropping out of society and calling for an end to the war while those overseas become even less sure of their situation.

At a recent music festival I was speaking to some old men, with a very paternal but not hippie look, who said that LSD was a huge influence in the Apartheid struggle and broke a lot of borders between blacks and whites, especially when segregation was government enforced.
