On the right dose of LSD it should be possible to follow the plot. Listening with headphones and paying complete attention to the media, subjectively a familiar sense of awe is experienced, even sober.

nex wonders how amplified and glorious this would get on acid, but due to health reasons he cannot make the experiment himself, for now.


So, has anyone tried watching documentaries on acid before? How was it?

I watched a bunch of Vice Documentaries on the comedown from LSD one time recently. They were some dark ones. Me and my buddy were on 5 tabs of strong stuff and had smoked 2-3 15 mgs bowls of DMT also. We took harmalas before dosing DMT. About 8 hours in. After this we went on the computer.

Like many have said harmalas added a darker tone to our bright visionary trip. We enjoyed watching the Docs on Russian Heroin, Datura, and other dark topics. They didn't put me in a bad place and were interesting. Harmalas + LSD had very strange undertones. Be careful when going in that space.

A few other times I watched Planet Earth docs or the Koyaanisqatsi series of abstract documentary films on the comedown. This was always great and is highly recommended.

hmm, that links broken for me?

i usually dont like being online while on lsd too much but i imagine the planet earth videos muted and with some psychedelic music of your own in the background would be a beautiful experience..this isn't a doc but it has broughten me to tears

well about 6-8 years back i was watching "mind states" on LSD , its the one with nick sand, not the most interesting thing to do on lsd yet when you have a few vials of that $#!~ lying around , you'll get creative

i can recommend watching "waking life" .... on LSD

I watched Zizek's Pervert's Guide to Cinema on acid, when it first began everything was funny. I love Zizek,
but I really felt that he was so perfect and so funny. After a while I just could not pay attention. I have watched it
many times and I highly recommend it.

technically this doesn't meet the two criteria (lsd + documentary) but watching "through the wormhole" on mushrooms and/or changa is quite an enjoyable experience.

i would imagine it would be great on LSD as well

2 movies immediately come to mind (sorry they're not documentairies);

"Koyanisqatsi" and "Baraka"

Both movies are only images & music, no words at all. I found this perfect to
watch on LSD or other, similair long-acting Psychedelics. I like to have little
pressure; Nothing demanding too much attention. You can watch it, but you won't
have to focus on what is said and what exactly is going on. It's easily digestable
for the mind: You won't have to think about it much. It's much more a sensory,
feeling experience than a cognitive experience. And such beautyfull scenes are shown.

Then there are documentairies I've enjoyed sober, but I am sure they'll be perfect
to watch on LSD:

-Chemistry: A volatile history
-Bruce Parry's "Tribal" series of docus (Specifically the one where he snorts Virola snuff with the Yanomami)
-Other Worlds (French Ayahuasca-Docu by Jan kounen, English subtitles)
-Shamans of the Amazon
-Hofmann's Potion (LSD docu)
-Inside LSD (Great LSD docu by National Geographic)


Those are the ones I could think of in a whim. Hope you will enjoy them.

Last weekend , halfway down my trip , my tv was set on the docu channel,
i started watching this documentarie about , what seemed to me in the first place some kind of mental dude , but after a while as the docu went on he turned out to be a real genius .

The docu was very interresting and the dose acid not that much(100-150 ug).
So i could easily focus for an hour and a half.
But with more acid and/or less pleasant subjects i think its hard for me to stay focussed.
