I don't think psychedelics
are the answer
to the world's problems,
but they could be a start.
What is going on in your brain
when you're tripping?
I was with three friends.
We were driving
in the middle of nowhere.
My friend was, like,
"I've got two hits of acid."
I don't remember anything
other than
he handed it to us,
and we just went…
I don't feel anything.
These mushrooms
don't work at all.
It's always when you say,
"I don't feel anything."
It's usually the tipping point.
Do I feel anything?
What is feeling?
Very quickly, I entered
this psychedelic realm.
Everything is coming alive.
Like, the grass
starts talking to me.
Sting!
-Sting!
-Sting!
There's a 90% chance
I'm going to drown,
but it's feeling good
to be one with the Earth.
And I felt like,
"We're part of everything.
Everything is connected."
When I laid into the bed,
my body became the bed.
No lie,
a rainbow shot out of my dick.
And it had a sound
with it, like…
LSD AFTERSCHOOL SPECIAL
Drugs are a laugh riot,
until they're not.
My cymbals were melting.
You can take too much,
and that's a mistake.
It turned the world around you
into an opera
-of your nightmares.
-Yeah.
Everybody is trying to kill me.
Things get scary.
That's why it's important
to remember
you're high. It's not reality.
We gained a lot of insight
about the way I view reality.
What the psychedelic
experience does,
is the entire universe…
is cracked open.
I took acid once.
Maybe even didn't need to.
Probably could've just
watched this documentary.
