[00:38.962] The LSD trip is a pilgrimage
[00:44.918] far out beyond your normal mind,
[00:49.568] into that risky
[00:53.303] and revelatory territory
[00:58.240] which has been explored
[01:01.427] for thousands of years
[01:07.618] by mystics and visionary philosophers
[01:49.231][Female voice]
[01:52.053] Well I never think that
[01:53.933] when I'm twenty-one, I'm twenty-one -
[01:55.893] I think of tomorrow or this minute...
[02:00.856] And hope there's a tomorrow,
[02:04.853] 'cause I don't like what's going on in the world.
[02:07.282] I'm scared of that,
[02:08.823] more than drugs. I'm not afraid of them...
[02:14.440] I'm just... I'm just scared you know?
[02:20.500][Male voice]
[02:22.903] We're told
[02:26.012] that perhaps a million Americans,
[02:29.982] most of them young people,
[02:32.882] have made the LSD experience part of their lives.
[02:38.368] Is this a social menace and a cause for alarm?
[02:42.913] I don't think so.
[02:45.708] I see nothing less
[02:48.242] than the speedy evolution
[02:51.873] of a new, indigenous religion
[03:23.246][Female voice]
[03:25.231] I'm just... I'm just scared you know?
[03:29.254] Everybody is... pretty uptight
[03:55.664] I'm just... I'm just scared...you know?
[03:57.937][Male voice]
[04:01.986] The LSD religionist knows;
[04:07.289] that the temple of worship is the human body,
[04:15.151] that the shrine must be located,
[04:18.730] not in a public place,
[04:21.055] but in the privacy of your own home,
[04:27.168] and that the congregation cannot extend
[04:32.314] beyond your family and your closest friends...
[05:16.591][Female voice]
[05:19.987] ...And then the paintings on the walls were dripping.
[05:22.835] You know...
[05:23.697] you could see the paint coming down like this,
[05:25.760] just like if somebody was hosing it off
[05:27.693] at the top and all the paint was running down onto the floor.
[05:30.854] And it was so pretty...they were running.
[05:34.747] Like they were melting!
[05:37.045] It was groovy...
[09:56.859][Female voice]
[09:59.863] It was like a... it was like a massage.
[10:02.084] It was so... it was so groovy, you can't believe how groovy...
[10:04.722] it wasn't just water hitting you,
[10:06.289] taking a shower, soap and out you go,
[10:07.726] you know, towel off.
[10:08.902] It was just... oh wow!
[10:11.018] You know it was like... it was like...
[10:13.395] it was like a caress.
[10:14.962] You know kind of...
[10:16.869] and you could really feel the hot and the cold.
[10:19.298] You could feel hot "hot" and cold "cold", you know and...
[10:22.825] and each little drop that came out was a different one,
[10:24.706] you know... it wasn't...
[10:25.933] I don't think the water must mix inside.
[10:27.736] It must come out hot and cold or something,
[10:30.139] 'cos you could feel hot cold hot cold all over you.
[10:32.255] It was really groovy
[10:34.031] I guess... it was...
[10:35.207] I guess the word for it is sensual...
[10:37.244] you know just... your body just oh!
[10:39.491] It grooved!
[11:28.444][Accented female voice]
[11:31.422] For psychedelics are stimulators of ideas and feelings,
[11:36.281] but generally these ideas and feelings
[11:40.043] would express themselves constructively
[11:42.289] rather than violently or destructively
[11:53.391] If it were possible during a riot
[11:57.754] to spray small doses of LSD
[12:00.105] from a helicopter into the air...
[12:09.143] People would soon quieten...
[16:07.328][Male voice]
[17:18.511] Is this trip really necessary?...
