  • In 2002 Concepta Film finished a film called "Hofmann's Potion: The Early Years of LSD". Written and directed by Connie
    Littlefield and Produced by Kent Martin for the National Film Board of Canada. The documentary delves into the little known
    early history of the world's most notorious psychedelic.
    Long before Timothy Leary urged a generation to "turn on, tune in and drop out," lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, was being
    used by researchers trying to understand the human mind. This documentary is a fascinating look at the story of "acid" before it
    hit the streets.
    Featuring interviews with many LSD pioneers, Hofmann's Potion is much more than a simple chronicle of the drug's early days.
    With thoughtful interviews, beautiful music and stunning cinematography, it is an invitation to look at LSD, and our world, with
    a more open, compassionate mind.

    Psychedelics have rid me of 12 long agonising years of crippling depression and anxiety. I tried fifteen different meds, therapy, exercise etc. Nothing worked. Now I trip on mushrooms or LSD once a week/fortnight and I'm now a normal person. Incredible. How can these beautiful drugs be illegal?! It's so frustrating.

      It was a very important turning point in my recovery from a morbid, recurrent unipolar depression that had me down for more than 10 years. I wish I could have been able to thank Albert Hofmann for the liberation of my mind! Absolutely the most beautiful and amazing substance ever discovered by humans!

    I first did acid at 13, in 1970. I did it almost every Saturday during the school year. My experiences were filled with incredibly vivid and intricate hallucinations, but beyond that, it instilled a desire to never stop exploring and learning about consciousness and it's relationship to the universe.

    I was always skeptical about trying LSD,but at age 25 I gave it a whirl.... it was the most enlightening expirence of my life, it made me less selfish, more empathetic and alltruistic, and made music sound so beautiful! Its too bad that Tim Leary pushed his luck too far with it.

    For what it's worth. Age 19. Having read Aldous Huxley and Tim Leary's 'The Politics of Ecstacy'. I wanted to experience it. Going beyond. 1973 in England was a good place and a good time to try it. An Illuminating, a wonderful trip. Also sometimes scary. Because so new and immediate and strange for the nice middle-class British boy that I was..........Later; dealing it and telling everyone I met how great it was -prison. The cold shower. Society needs functioning individuals, people who can take care of business. And I've done that now for 30 years. Paid my taxes and paid my dues. But now; seeing this documentary, I'd like to once more have a touch, -no, much more than a touch - the full-blown experience of god-consciousness! It's calling me , calling me home. Or should I say to the non-limits of the ultimate -ecstatic - reality. I'll either find or make the necessary molecules.........I salute you all who are on, or have been, or will be on the same path.

NOT dealing dope, but working, being a teacher and not being a parasite on society. i.e. all of us. I'm 62 now and still working. I'm not a recipient of welfare. Even the most right-wing of the current American candidates - why, even Donald Trump himself ! -for the Republican party couldn't shoot me down. Is that sufficient for you?

    These compounds are to be treated with respect. There are plenty of stories of people who were careless and paid an expensive price.
    I've taken most of the known psychedelic substances as a young person and some more than others. I see all these "positive" blissful posts about the effects of these drugs which can be true. However, you can just as easily experience unpleasantness and fearful state of interpreting things. I've experienced both, I accidentally took 4 doses of blotter thinking it was just one and the experience was unbelievably unbearably intense.
    I believe these drugs have therapeutic value, although more trials and tests wouldn't hurt. Don't romanticize this stuff it is/can be serious.

  • @danielholman7225
    @danielholman7225 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ok, I read all the comments and, really you wouldn’t know we were all talking about the same thing. Here’s my take: I think our mind’s job here on the physical plane is to help us cope. In order to help us cope it has to block a lot of stuff from the conscious part of our mind. LSD, as A. Huxley noted, opens the doors of perception. I had what can best be described as a religious experience but it wasn’t like I thought I was in church with a minister preaching a sermon. LSD can be a real learning experience. I saw that we are all actors on life’s stage - we’re all staring in life’s drama, drama, drama. A word of caution, don’t try and drive your car or motorcycle. Have a trusted person sit with you. When you take the drug,?the blinders come off and you might feel like you are going insane for a period of time. Om!

    It is loud and clear that the greatest benefit of the psychedelic experience is to free one of the structures that have been loaded onto their lives. This freedom doesn’t come about when a “guide” is imposing interpretations or suppositions into the experience. Going downstream gets you to reality and comfortable happiness.

Enjoying Nature and visual patterns in particular , and colors and sounds and textures, these were some of the fun things that we shared on the Trips together. wb

It was caused by the millions of working class and poor disenfranchised people uniting against the Vietnam war in which MLKjr learned how horrific our genocidal policies were no matter where US forces occupied. And the fact that soldiers under LSD immediately quit the military just goes to show psychedelics without the interference of the colonial imperialist system, without that inference psychedelics can help bring peace and clarity to our home planet.
