Long-Term Effects
Psychedelics, Complexity, and the Future
Despite setbacks and prohibition, Psychedelic culture is more alive than ever. With the possibility of legal psychedelia growing each day, a simple question remains elusive: What are psychedelics?
Psychedelics themselves seem to evade the answer, dancing between what is objectively knowable and subjectively imposed. Amidst boundless psychedelic understandings, neuroscience research yields a puzzling insight: psychedelics are agents of neural chaos. Psychedelics themselves are an expression of irreducible complexity.
Immersing in complexity, Long Term Effects is unafraid to explore the limits of reason, embracing the paradox that lies beyond. By taking the insights of psychedelic experiencing seriously (but not literally), considered alongside the insights of field-leading scientists and clinicians, the film attempts to smuggle something back. This is not another trip report. Instead, the contours of this story dissolve as it's told, permeated by a sense that meaning itself has inverted. Is there something to learn at the heart of the psychedelic mystery?
