    One of the
    most influential icons in the
    counterculture movement
    which
    formed in the late 1960s out of opposition to the
    VIETNAM WAR,

    by advocating the use of
    LSD
    – which was criminalized in the
    United States

    of society.
    Following the
    Watergate Scandal
    , which resulted in
    the resignation of
    US President
    Richard Nixon
    and the
    conviction of several officials in the Nixon administration,
    the slogan became an ideology among many
    baby boomers
