This is a followup film to the remarkable DOSED, which we screened in 2020. The films document people's experiences with psychedelic healing, and are a great introduction and explanation of what it is all about.
SYNOPSIS
A loving mother of four is granted the right to legally use magic mushrooms to treat her end of life anxiety. She then embarks on a remarkable journey of personal transformation and healing while exploring lesser known possible cures for cancer, like cannabis oil.
PANEL Q&A
After the screening we will host a Q&A panel with local experts for audience members to ask questions about psychedelics, psychedelic therapy as shown in the film, preparation for psychedelic experiences, and other similar questions.
