In the heart of hippie Fairfax, settle into a cushion on the floor and order from an extensive menu of medicinal teas as you eavesdrop on locals discussing their chakras. Even if you've never done drugs, the psychedelic tapestries, incense and soothing brews will transport you into the stoned Marin of the 1960s. Don't worry, it's all legal.
