To answer as a Haight-Ashbury Hippy, we do proudly call ourselves Hippies. Are Cheech and Chong accurate portrayals of herb consumers? She's a character just like any other general stereotype of a culture. Characteristics are accentuated to the point of absurd, just like a faux rapper wearing hugely oversized clothing, or like Moon Unit Zappa's character mimicking a San Fernando Valley mall denizin in the song Valley Girl, but she got the core of the character right. Most people who escaped the rest of America to join the Hippies were likely somewhere on the spectrum and for whatever reasons, many of us ended up in vaulted positions in music, computers, science, entertainment, technology, and elsewhere.
