The Beyond Within...Documentary about the History of LSD.
A rational, non sensationalist and in depth look at the history of LSD. No matter your view on this unusual chemical, this objective documentary looks at all aspects of it's use since it's synthesis by Albert Hoffman in Switzerland during world war 2. The film takes us through it's use as a psychiatric tool both by the medical fraternity and the military, the experiment's carried out at Harvard by Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, it's introduction to the public via Ken Kessey and The Merry Pranksters and it's effect on Western music, art and popular culture. This is the first of three parts, all available for free download from Google Video.

ReplyDeleteLegend has it that Ken Kessey used to organise bus trips around San Francisco. They were free but you had to "drop" a tab of acid before you got on the bus. Now they were trips! Those were REALLY the days and I remember getting a book out of my local library called "Lsd In Action" by P G & Golightly, B H Stafford. Basically it was a handbook on how to prepare for an Acid Trip and ensure you didn't have a bad one once you'd taken the drug. It explained what the drug did to you and gave useful information about your eyes and how the rods and codes were effected on the retina; and that explained a lot. Also your long-term memory was disabled so maybe this accounts for the phrase "Far out man!" Anything longer and you'd forgotten what you said at the start of the sentence.
