Psychedelics have been receiving a great deal of attention lately.
While some associate psychedelics with trance parties and hippies, or in a darker way, with the experiments conducted by the CIA in the 1950s using LSD, more recent times have seen scientists researching the positive effect that trippy drugs like magic mushrooms can have on people suffering from depression, anxiety, and addiction.
A new series coming to Netflix, Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics explores the world of celebrity trips on acid, mushrooms and other drugs.
Per The Daily Beast:
Premiering on Netflix on May 11, Have a Good Trip revolves around a series of interviews with well-known stars who’ve all tuned in and dropped out at one point in their lives, be it Ben Stiller, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Silverman, Beastie Boys’ Adam Horovitz, Marc Maron, Paul Scheer, Rob Corddry, David Cross or My Morning Jacket’s Jim James.
For some, like A$AP Rocky, who saw “A rainbow shot out of my dick” during sex on acid, the experience was euphoric and enlightening. For others, it was less so—for example, Rosie Perez, who was surreptitiously dosed at a crowded dance club and wound up losing her shirt while backstroking along a cascading wooden floor, and then merging with her bedroom mattress.
The series also documents accounts from celebs that have passed on like Anthony Bourdain and Carrie Fisher (Happy Star Wars Day for yesterday – May the fourth be with you).
Here’s a preview of what to expect:
In a world where we’re starved for entertainment, this couldn’t have come at a better time.
