The Haight-Ashbury district was sought out by hippies to constitute a community based upon counterculturalism, drugs, and music. This neighborhood offered a concentrated gather spot for hippies to create a social experiment that would soon spread throughout the nation. The opening of the Psychedelic Shop on January 3, 1966 offered hippies a spot to purchase marijuana and LSD, which was essential to hippie life in Haight-Ashbury. The hippies determined community by common experiences such as the use of drugs. With the Psychedelic Shop located in the heart of Haight-Ashbury, the entire hippie community had easy access to the unifying drugs. Thus, groovy and beautiful relationship could be formed by the binding experience.
