Dosed: The Trip of a Lifetime

If you take a cursory glance at the title, you might think Dosed 2 shows people talking about their funniest psychedelic experiences, or maybe it's a an indictment of the pharmaceutical industry. In reality, this film is a human story, a love story. The focus of the film is Laurie, a woman with Stage 4 cancer. While psilocybin is a key character in her arc, it is hardly what makes this film so compelling. Dosed 2 follows Laurie through difficult health news and decisions. We see her turn to psilocybin-assisted therapy to try to make peace with her own death, while wanting desperately to stay here on Earth with her loving husband, Glen, and 4 young adult children just coming into their own. And somehow, even with such weighty themes, the film strikes a balance by bringing in humour and love. So much love. Watch this film. It will make you laugh and cry and write to your MP/Senator in support of legalization.

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.

I really felt this film And the journey that Laurie has been going on Is incredibly inspiring. I have had family members and and still have family members with serious health issues. To see that we have other alternatives and to experience the possibilities of taking charge of our healing outside of mainstream.

This is something we all need to be open to. Many other cultures use medicines to heal. This medicine That has been used for probably thousands of years By indigenous people.

Gives the body The opportunity to take another pathway less invasive more loving more supportive. I would encourage anyone to have this experience. This was an incredible film very emotional.

Beautiful and compelling, moment after moment in this film. Excellent storytelling of a family's journey through illness with the help of psilocybin. This is a story about a straightforward family who were willing to try something different. It was scary and mind blowing.

The filming is first class. The way the camera stays with those times of intense silence where you know the turmoil that is happening internally. Amazing dissolve between one scene and another that was brilliant!

A balanced look at the hyped up ideas of psychedelics and health. Well done to the directors and much love to Laurie and her family.

Very well made documentary with an endearing lead character and a gripping story. Anyone with an interest in psychedelics for helping alleviate anxiety and pain caused by trauma would find this doc a must-see, along with Fantastic Fungi (2019).
