Каждое поколение изобретает лекарство, которого заслуживает. В современной Америке, где люди конкурируют друг с другом всю жизнь и каждый хочет быть первым, стало невозможно существовать без приёма Аддералла и других опасных стимуляторов, которые влияют на жизнь и образ мышления целого поколения.

LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug captures the fascinating story of LSD as it is eloquently told by Dr. Albert Hofmann, the 100-year-old sage-scientist who brought LSD into the world. With interviews and presentations by Rick Doblin, Alex Grey, Ralph Metzner, Carl Ruck, Goa Gil, and others, this historic message from the father of LSD is a timeless relic and an immediate source of inspiration. The story is told through an account of the 2006 International LSD Symposium in Basel, Switzerland. At the now-legendary conference, eighty speakers and two thousand participants gathered for three days in honor of Dr. Hofmann's 100th birthday and to hear Dr. Hofmann speak about his life, his discovery, and his thoughts on the psychedelic experience. It was also an occasion for leading doctors, researchers, artists and thinkers in the psychedelic field to present their work.

Long before Timothy Leary urged a generation to "tune in, turn on and drop out," lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, was being used by researchers trying to understand the human mind. This documentary is a fascinating look at the story of "acid" before it hit the streets. Featuring interviews with many LSD pioneers, Hofmann's Potion is much more than a simple chronicle of the drug's early days. With thoughtful interviews, beautiful music and stunning cinematography, it is an invitation to look at LSD, and our world, with a more open, compassionate mind.

ЛСД – одно из самых загадочнейших и спорных веществ известных науке. Порция, значительно меньшая по размеру крупицы соли, отправляет в рискованный ментальный круиз - во вселенную галлюцинаций, глубочайших духовных волнений, и, для некоторых, мистических откровений. Эти поразительные воздействия были обнаружены швейцарским химиком Альбертом Хофманном в 1943 году. На протяжении 50-х ЛСД широко использовался в психиатрических клиниках с целью исследования. В начале 60-х ЛСД просочился из лабораторий. Неожиданно, вещество непредсказуемо употреблялось целым поколением молодёжи, в поисках духовного прорыва сквозь условности реальности.
