Would you classify taking pyschedelics as a "hippy" thing?

I'd say it was the other way around. Hippies are a psychedelic thing.

Hippies are a psychedelic thing.

And we have a winner...

Yeah that pretty much sums it up, lol...psychedelics were being used probably tens of thousands of years before the term "hippies" existed

I would defiantly say that psychedelics are not just a hippie thing but are just generally dismissed as one, in fact most people i've ever met that have taken psychedelics other than mushrooms are actually blue collar working folk, or writers, or artists. I think its more of a lack of general information about psychedelics that usually turn off mainstream society from them

...I had no idea there was a negative association with being peaceful.

Unfortunatelly, yes.
