Psychedelische Abenteuer: Have a good trip!

Fun, entertaining and mostly humorous, but no new information is presented here. The information also presented is limited and non descriptive. It's mostly a collection of fun acid stories from celebrities. I enjoyed the documentary Neurons to Nirvana much more.

Wow! I so enjoyed this "trip" down memory lane with some really great storytellers! Told objectively and from first person accounts, it just flew by. So nice to see Sting, eloquent as always but loosened up as much as I've ever seen him, talk about some fun times on his farm. Rosie Perez was another surprise; she looks great and has some cute recollections to tell. A little science thrown in from a doctor studying using the drugs to treat depression and anxiety as well as from Timothy Leary's son who has continued in his father's pioneering footsteps. I had to give it a rare 10/10 because as documentaries go, this should be a template.

Netflix has had some real dross offered lately, but they hit it out of the park with this one! Highly recommended.

An incredibly vivid trip (pun intended) into the world of hallucinogens and the effects of psilocybin on the brain via the experiences of some of the most revered figures in the entertainment industry such as Carrie Fisher, Sting, A$AP Rocky, Anthony Bourdain and many more.

Both entertaining and insightful as the creators have incorporated in their thorough investigations of psychedelics a wholesome air of comedy, which makes this a must see for absolutely all of you.

I do wish that they left Deepak Chopra and his pseudo nonsense out of it though, I'll just never get that dude.

Worth watching for the LSD After School Special segments with Adam Scott. For a more educational experience watch the Netflix series How to Change Your Mind instead.

A parade of Hollywood A and B listers recounting their good and bad trips can be self-indulgent. This documentary saves itself with humor and accurate narrative. It strays too much into glorification though.

A warning must be posted- much of the true dangers are ignored in this doc. It is not all about joyfully exploring warped and interconnected realities. Side effects include painfully coming down, psychosis for some, and criminal behavior.

Not a single burn-out was interviewed. For every Sting, there are ten times as many homeless, dead, or institutionalized users who couldn't handle it. RIP, Anthony B.

If you have any suspicion that you have psychological conditions like depression, tend to get addicted to things like video games or crack, or are around people who are not close friends and family, don't do it!

Many veterans would also wholeheartedly disagree that a synthesized chemical like LSD is anywhere as safe or helpful as naturally occurring plant based hallucinogens.

The positives of psychedelics for therapeutics and education is well documented and it is high time science fully explored it. Just be fully aware of ALL pros and cons before you decide on your own journey.
