National Film Board of Canada: Hofmann's Potion

Hofmann's Potionbr /(Connie Littlefield, 2002, 56 min 35s)br /a href="http://www.nfb.ca/"National Film Board of Canada/abr /br /This documentary offers a compassionate, open-minded look at LSD and how it fits into our world. Long before Timothy Leary urged a generation to "tune in, turn on and drop out," the drug was hailed as a way to treat forms of addiction and mental illness. At the same time, it was being touted as a powerful tool for mental exploration and self-understanding. Featuring interviews with LSD pioneers, beautiful music and stunning cinematography, this is much more than a simple chronicle of LSD's early days. It's an alternative way of looking at the drug... and our world. br /br /embed src="http://media1.nfb.ca/medias/flash/ONFflvplayer-gama.swf" width="400" height="337" width="400" height="325" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" autostart="false" flashvars="mID=IDOBJ7731image=http://media1.nfb.ca/medias/nfb_tube/thumbs_large/2009/Hoffman-Potion_BIG.jpgwidth=400height=337autostart=falseshowWarningMessages=falsestreamNotFoundDelay=15lang=engetPlaylistOnEnd=trueembeddedMode=true"/embeddiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6323968-3428484315790697379?l=dialogic.blogspot.com'//div
