I just recently finished reading the book Orange Sunshine by Nick Schou, about the Laguna Beach hippie group Brotherhood of Eternal Love--who were associated with Timothy Leary and were responsible for a lot of LSD distribution and hashish smuggling of the late 60s and early 70's (and the movie Rainbow Bridge). Oden Fong is mentioned a few times as he was associated with the group (he later got religion and is now a pastor at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa):

Since I grew up in South Orange county, I remember driving past the Laguna Beach hippies who would congregate outside Taco Bell (sometimes on our way from family brunch at the Outrigger or dining at Royal Hawaiian) so even though I was too young to know the real details, the above mentioned book answered a lot of questions.
