My first project in filming and in editing was the documentation of the international LSD symposium held on the occasion of Dr. Albert Hofmann’s 100th birthday in Basel, Switzerland.  I was very much a beginner in video techniques at the time, as is evident in the film.  But thanks to Dr. Albert Hofmann, who first synthesized LSD in 1943 and still manages to speak lucidly (at 100years of age) about his discovery and its impact on the world, the film continues to be an important documentary.  Dr. Hofmann was even kind enough to write me a letter, in which he said “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.”



The 60 minute DVD “LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug” is available in Japan and the USA. For purchase in the US, we recommend buying the DVD from MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies) so that some of the proceeds will support psychedelic research.
