The Mind-Benders: LSD and the Hallucinogens is quite the trip, in more ways than one. Directed by Lee R. Bobker, this 1967 documentary dives headfirst into the culture and science surrounding hallucinogens, with a keen focus on LSD. The visuals here are something else—graphics that try to mimic a trip really stand out, pulling you into the subject matter. Then there are the interviews with users, which reveal their personal motivations for exploring these substances. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to the raw, exploratory nature of the film. It’s a fascinating artifact that captures a unique period in psychedelic history, emphasizing both the curiosity and the caution surrounding such powerful experiences.
