The New Magic Trip Movie, about Furthur and Ken Kesey. A Must Watch.

This has been talked about a bit on these forums and the Movie/Documentary just came out. Ken Kesey in short drove a bus full of people who deemed themselves the "Merry pranksters" across the country on this LSD/Pot fueled bus ride. The bus was named Furthur. Kesey was also a subject in the CIA financed study Project MKULTRA. The project studied the effects of psychoactive drugs, particularly LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, cocaine, AMT, and DMT on people. Kesey wrote many detailed accounts of his experiences with these drugs in his best selling book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . I haven't watched it all yet, because I haven't had time but I strongly do recommend it if your into LSD or 60's counter culture type stuff.

Storming Heaven by Jay Stevens is an incredible read on the psychedelic movement. Imagine a society based on conformity, and how tripping would feel in that context. Kesey was trying to do to society what LSD did to the individual. I'm surprised that he, and the other players in that scene, weren't outright assassinated.

For the first like 6 months that Furthur (the band consisting of bob weir and phil lesh of the Grateful Dead) was touring I could not for the life of me remember why they spelled it that way.

I'd been wanting to see this film since I heard about it over the summer. Thanks for posting abstrakt. It was definitely neat to see these people in action in film. I've read the tom wolfe electric kool-aid acid test, and a ton of different biographies on the grateful dead so it was pretty cool to see these events as they happened

It was pretty awesome, I'm so glad I randomly decided to read The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, like a week before I saw it, really put what I read into perspective. Go watch it!

Don't own a computer personally, due to where I live my internets bandwidth cap is limited at 3/4 of a gig per month so even if I owned a computer I wouldn't be able to watch it. Sorry if my original post came off as me just being lazy but I assure I'm just unable t do that where I currently live lol
