In the 60's there were huge festivals and migrations, and some older generation folks I met on Haight Street told me stories about how Hendrix, Morrison and Joplin were murdered covertly because they had too much influence on the people. The stories varied in details and theory sometimes, but there was the widespread sentiment that they were 'taken out of the picture'.

I'm like you with this one. It wouldn't come as a massive surprise to find that one or more of these stars were killed to smother the Peace Movement. After all, there were some very dark areas in the Intel world back then. The Cointelpro route wasn't beyond smearing the likes of MLK and there will always be a question of how far rogue elements might have been prepared to go.
At the same time, most of the deaths in the '27 Club' are deaths I've seen in my own life and none of those who died were influential to the wider world. Mixing opiates with booze or addictions to heroin carry a high frequency of deaths.

From what I understand, Aldous Huxley was a proponent of it's responsible use as well
