Susan: "...Kids my age, 18, 17, 18 years old
at that time with the drugs and drug culture,
it was an exciting thing, y'know,
and I just got caught up in it,
got caught up and carried away.

in the late 60's was really looking for
acceptance and love.
They were tired of double standards.
They were tired of hypocrisies,

​and they wanted truth.

Well, truth is, it has been said,
is relative to what you want -
but there is a real truth,
​and I just got caught up in a big lie..."
