Short summary

This FDA film explores the history of hallucinogenic drugs, and specifically the effects and therapeutic uses of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Combining graphics that suggest a hallucinogenic experience, snippets of interviews with users (who explain their reasons for taking the drug) and doctors, and taped sessions of research with volunteers, the film delves into the destructive as well as possible positive uses of the drug.

    The only thing I did not like about it was that it only lasts for 25 minutes. But this was also one of the films pointers. It gives a detailed(yet short)look at Albert Hoffman who created lsd, and also about his associate who discovered similar effects in mexican mushrooms(magic mushrooms I think you call it in the states). I cant recall his name. See it. i recommend it if you are into the stuff or if you are just interested.
