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.

By documenting this historic symposium, LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug reveals the scientific, medical, artistic, and spiritual issues at the core of the psychedelic debate. While experienced psychonauts will certainly be touched by the words and passion of Dr. Hofmann, the film is also an excellent introduction for friends, parents, and colleagues to the reasons why the psychedelic experience cannot be simply ignored.

LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug documents the International LSD Symposium held on the occasion of Dr. Albert Hofmann’s 100th birthday in Basel, Switzerland. Dr. Hofmann discovered LSD in Basel in 1943. 80 speakers and 2000 attendants gathered for three days of talks, art, blotter design and music. Interviews and presentations by artists, scholars, scientists and doctors (such as Alex Grey, Martin Lee, Goa Gil, and Ralph Metzner) show that LSD impacted not only the cultural shifts of the 1960s but CIA interrogation methods, the computer revolution and the field of medicine. Dr. Hofmann, who had just turned 100 years old, speaks eloquently about his discovery and its implications for the future. Upon seeing the film, Dr. Hofmann commented, "This is an important film. It is a comprehensive document of the various effects of LSD and of their meaning. The film is a good document of the uniqueness of LSD."

On the occasion of the 100th birthday of Dr. Albert Hofmann on 11 January 2006, the Gaia Media Foundation stages an International Symposium on the most widely known and most controversial discovery of this outstanding scientist.

LSD - three letters that changed the world. Since 19 April 1943, the day Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann discovered this psychoactive substance, millions of people all over the world have experienced a higher reality with profound and psychological insights and spiritual renewal; created innovative social transformation, music, art, and fashion; were healed from addiction and depression; experienced enlightened insights into the human consciousness.

Some 60 years later more than 80 experts from all over the world will present an in-depth review of all aspects of this unique phenomenon, informing and discussing history, experiences, implications, assess the risks and benefits of this most potent of all psychoactive substances. LSD - a challenge in the past, now, and in the future.

By documenting this historic symposium, LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug articulates the scientific, medical, artistic and spiritual issues at the core of the psychedelic debate. While experienced psychonauts will inevitably be touched by the words and demeanour of Dr. Albert Hofmann, the DVD is also ideal for introducing inexperienced friends, parents and colleagues to the reasons why the psychedelic experience cannot simply be ignored.
