    "Hynson would up hanging with the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a hippie mafia based in Orange County, whose members preached the gospel of LSD and dealt tons of drugs. His experience smuggling film through Indian customs came in handy when the Brotherhood used him to hollow out surfboards to get hash out of New Delhi," the L.A. Weekly stated.
