Neurons to Nirvana is a 2013 documentary film by Canadian filmmaker Oliver Hockenhull. The film examines the evidence for the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic drugs. The production company crowdfunded marketing and distribution through a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised more than 35,000.
Two versions of the film were released, a director's cut and an educational edition. The director's cut premiered at the Vancouver Film Festival in 2013.
The film features interviews with Gabor Maté, Dennis McKenna, Rick Doblin, Charles Grob, Jeremy Narby, Stanislav Grof, David Nutt, Julie Holland, David Healy, Michael Mithoefer, David Nichols, Amanda Feilding, Stephen Ross, Ralph Metzner, Gillian Maxwell, Manuel Schoch, Michael Winkelman, William Richards, Kathleen Harrison, Roland Griffiths, Wade Davis, Ingrid Pacey, and Chris Bennett.
The film also features scenes from Ben Ridgway's experimental animated film "Continuum Infinitum".
A stylish, in depth look at the renaissance in psychedelic drug research in light of current scientific, medical and cultural knowledge. The film explores these socially taboo substances as adjuncts to psychotherapy, as crucial but neglected medicines, and as technologies of consciousness. From Neurons to Nirvana: The Great Medicines features interviews with some of the world's foremost researchers, writers, and pioneers in the growing field of psychedelic psychotherapy. These radical healers and dissenters are using everything from ancient concoctions to newly created designer molecules to the once demonized psychedelic drugs of the 1960s. They argue convincingly for the legal right to incorporate these substances into therapeutic practice.
Nothing new to me, not as informative as a paper, yet from the convincing mouths.
这个纪录片好危险啊，用宗教体验在一些文化里的重要性来论证推崇psychedelic合法化的好处。是的，赫胥黎提出过同样的观点，但是这个观点不能对大众推销太危险了，有些人毕竟是用这些来逃避。
Maybe there is a cure to depression after all. MDMA is immediate-acting and non-sedative. And from the effects and insights people have after taking LSD, it seems like the type of love Erich Fromm described in "the Art of Loving" is achievable.
