From Neurons to Nirvana

[Elpo]

Ok I just couldn't wait and downloaded it.

I just saw the documentary and was blown away by it. In just over an hour the documentary presents the beneficials of mdma, cannabis, lsd, psilocybin and ayahuasca.
I really loved it and urge everyone to see it and spread it to as many people as you can.

This is exactly what the psychedelic community needs as message towards the world.

From Neurons to Nirvana

I just watched the whole thing. Nothing new really for most of us, but this is something I would show my mom and dad (neo anti-psychedelic conservatives). So it is good on that front I just hope this makes it to the right people.

It's nothing new as in content, I know (at least not for people who read about it), but the way it has been but together is really great in my opinion. It's simple, looks good, accessible... I think that for a topic like this, those are the needed ingredients.

Now that I think of it, for us it might be nothing new, but to someone who never went through the trouble looking into this, it might come over as something really new.

Awesome!!! Great job Elpo. Wish there was a portion on mescaline though. I will probably buy this film this weekend!

Thanks!

Nothing new really for most of us, but this is something I would show my mom and dad (neo anti-psychedelic conservatives).

I haven't watched it yet... but this ^ is EXACTLY what we need if psychedelics are going to become legal and legitimized in the minds of mainstream culture, not everyone just preaching to the choir. We need the information to be presented and explained in a way that even the most conditioned and conservative anti-drug folk can understand, and won't block out with their programmed filters.

And while the information probably isn't new to most of us, the nexus and similar crowds are but a tiny slice of the population- and even a small portion of the psychedelic community. Many people in the world who have tried psychedelics and have nothing against them are often relatively unaware of the vastness of their medicinal/thereaputic value, and the amount of research that has actually been done in the past decade or earlier. So even a decent amount of the psychedelic community would benefit and become informed by this sort of information being unpackaged in a digestible way.

Good morrow fellow travelers,
i agree with universecannon here, we all have felt, seen and experienced the power of these substances.the stigma they put onto these things needs to be removed. so more conservative views can accept this slow change.
I had the pleasure of watching this last night as well, and was actually impressed by the amount of great information. i think the propaganda campaigns were amazing in the way the spread fear and misinformation. but for a renowned Dr. nationally admitting being wrong on the health benefits of cannabis, it amazing to me to see the shift , just in my lifetime alone. lets keep hoping for more steps in this direction. slowly but surely, this crawl will want to try and walk.

I finally watched it last night as well, and was positively impressed. Definitely sharing it with friends and family.

Wow. This was absolutely moving. I think this one will jump start things in the same way the spirit molecule did. The legality of entheogens needs to happen. We need to be able to start setting in motion a structure for societal use. I see a job surge. There will probably be tons of in/out patient centers popping up everywhere to help people. I could see myself quiting my job to work at one.

Definitely one of the best and most informative documentaries ive seen regarding entheos. Visually the movie was pretty amazing. Especially the one part in the fiulm, where that woman is walking on that bridge in the woods and they use the effect od a fractal triangle to connect her to the trees and whatnot. Very cool

much love

Loved it! :thumb_up:

I think this sort of thing is exactly what we need. It breaks down everything in an easy to understand way, covers a wide variety of topics, and would be a great aid in helping to correct our cultures backwards view of psychedelics. I hope it gets a lot of attention.


I guess my only critique would be that I feel they could have gone into a bit more detail on some of the other studies that have been done on aya and especially cannabis

 

[Sabnock]

Saw it last night, and i have to agree. While the information presented isn't really new to most people who are already informed, it IS indeed wrapped up quite nicely for those more "against" entheogens to maybe get them to rethink their position and to find out more information if they wish.

 

[hixidom]

Looks cool. I only watched 3 trailers, and I enjoyed the interviews. I hope there aren't too many psychedelic visualizations, because such things always end up being pretty lame in comparison to what they are trying to portray. I have to say I'm turned off after seeing the lotus position associated with psychedelics, which is painfully cliche to me (saw it in a trailer).

Anyways, interviews were great from what I saw. The people had good things to say, so I hope their words are the focus of the film. I'll watch it as soon as I have the time (and maybe I'll wait for the price to come down a bit too).

 

[obliguhl]

Started it, but was severely put off by the annoying aesthetic of that thing. I felt as if i was stuck in some sort of nevereneding trailer for a bad show on TV. There is constantly somewthing flying around, exploding...then half of the footage got this strong interlace nostalgia effect...found it really hard to watch. Perhaps most people like that.

I made a pre order of the DVD from mangu.tv the 13th of october and haven't received it. I sent them a message through a form they have on their website a week or 10 day's ago and they haven't replied.
I'm getting a bit pissed off. Next time I'll just download their fuckin movies from some torrent site
Never giving these people a penny ever again.

One thing not to receive the DVD but I'm even more pissed off not getting an answer when I make an
enquiry about my order.
