Dosed: The Trip of a Lifetime

Of course, one would come to the conclusion that this film has an agenda. They're trying to introduce the information that psychedelic therapy can be very beneficial. It's not a new subject, but it is still foreign and somewhat fearful to much of the public - especially some of the public that might benefit from it the most.

I saw the first Dosed movie a few years ago, and I was blown away by how good it was. Many of us are tired by CGI and explosions and dragons in films, which is why documentaries have taken on such a big life as part of the film world. Dosed, the original, shows a very clear look at reality (unlike reality TV) and one of the most honest and strong humans I've ever seen. The filmmakers captured her story gently and carefully.

But tonight I saw Dosed 2 and I really understood the careful insensitive hand that guided this film to bring a new message. This new subject is more relatable to most people, which I think might be important. The treatment she undergoes is a lot easier to find, less extreme, and more likely to be understood by the general population. From watching the trailer I expected a certain thing, and the movie delivered that but then became very surprising at the end, even more positive than I could ever hope it would be. I won't give away any spoilers...

The first Dosed is a must-see; strong and dramatic, educational, and heartfelt. This new edition is focused and easy. Comfortable with the topic, precisely edited and presented to carefully spoon feed you each piece of information so that you understand every step clearly. Anyone could see this film and understand, be they a novice or innocent to that world or an experienced expert. It's pretty remarkable filmmaking, to be able to capture a great story, play with honest emotions, and also bring us one of the most important messages our culture could use.

Can't wait to see both films again.

I am so moved by Laurie's journey in this documentary. It's not only informative and educational but it's an emotional journey you get to share on Screen through watching Laurie's story. I was honoured to bear witness to this. Thank you everyone who is involved in this project we need more advocation and understanding to peoples healing and health journeys. I am so inspired and want to try this myself for my own personal growth. One of the best Docs I've seen. Please let's be open like Laurie to alternative medicine and healing and remember it's our bodies and our own personal journey especially with health and I really took that away from this story. Thank you Laurie, her family , Tyler , Nick and everyone involved.

Laurie is a woman ready to make the changes she needed to make, look at the parts of herself that needed attention and willing to break herself open. I am so glad that she had the legal right, that we all need restored, to try an ancient medicine with a novel approach. She said to the audience, who attended a recent showing of Dosed 2, that the paperwork to gain this right was onerous and makes the medicine experience inaccessible. We know that many more people could be helped with existential anxiety at end of life.

In this film we have a call to action. Our politicians need to hear from us that we want the right to try these sacred substances.

I fell in love with Laurie and her family and all families who are facing ill health and death. We his is us.

No other film talks about how to live fully and have a healthy relationship with death by finding one's authentic self like this film so thoughtfully and beautifully depicts.

Following Laurie, her family, and the filmmaker's journeys, we seem to grow with them as we see the lessons they've learnt about life & death and how to make it all worth it. There are msgs in this film that I think resonate with all humans' fundamental needs so you can't help but see parts of yourself that connect and relate to these people. It's a crucially positive film about topics we have or will face, and what it means to be human.

A one of a kind film that would help everyone who sees it!

An amazingly well-done second chapter to the original Dosed, with a new story but similar subject matter.

The culture around psychedelics is shifting, and this film is a crucial piece of that shift.

Get your tissues and get ready for your heart to burst open. You will feel all the feels.

10/10.
