New York Times review of the show.

Television
Neil Genzlinger

´The brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good,¡ an announcer memorably intoned all those years ago at Woodstock, magnifying LSD?s already bad reputation among Establishment Americans. If hippie freaks were warning other hippie freaks away from it, it must be nasty stuff indeed.

Now, as the 40th anniversary of Woodstock fades in the rearview mirror, the National Geographic Channel is giving LSD a second chance, as it were. On Tuesday night in its ´Explorer¡ series, ´INSIDE LSD¡ talks to scientists and therapists who are examining the narcotic anew, trying to learn specifically how it works in the brain and whether it might have uses that Jerry Garcia never envisioned. The program, as its narrator, Peter Coyote, says, is an attempt ´to separate the myth from the molecule.¡

One segment explores the possibility that some form of LSD could help sufferers of cluster headaches, and its footage of one such sufferer in the throes of an attack leaves you wishing the poor fellow relief no matter where it might come from. In another part of the program, a woman with terminal cancer talks about how an LSD trip helped her break free of the anxiety about death that was consuming her final months.

´It was my faith coming back to me,¡ she says, describing the feeling brought on by the drug. ´My faith that there?s something out there.¡ <Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

They've also added some stills on the NatGeo link that shows a picture (number7) of the doctor that Clusterbusters is working with as well as one of our study participants.

Sounds as though they just might have kept our Chuck in the epsiode after all!

My cable "package" doesn't include NG but I have a feeling the rest of us will get the idea.

You people scare me. Every now and then I get glimpses of just how dedicated you are.

THAT'S what I'm talking about. They're the ones that put up the money to produce it, and they don't do it so they can incur a loss. We should show them our support of their decision to bring this subject into the spotlight and BUY A COPY OF THE PROGRAM!

HELL, BUY TWO!

Hey folks,

As Steph mentioned, the National Geographic Channel contacted me today to ensure we knew that it is absolutely illegal to tape and distribute television shows.

The dude that called me was very cool about the whole situation but ensured me NG was prepared to protect their interests with any legal means necessary. I understood what he was saying perfectly clear.

With that being said... if you are missing a post in this thread, it's probably because it mentioned something about sending out copies of the recorded program.

NG has provided me with the link to the DVD of the program and told me they are ready to ship out tomorrow as soon as the show airs. Here is the link to the DVD on the NG web store: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

Can't wait to see the show and thank you for your understanding.

I don't like seeing Chuck get hit (in real life or on tv), but I thought they gave an accurate portrayal of what we all live with. It was a very thoughtful and well researched episode on psychedelic drugs.

THANK YOU CHUCK!!!!! I applaud you and everyone else involved with this episode of NG and Deej for making it available for us to purchase. It was very informative especially for someone like me who is really ignorant when it comes to those types of drugs. I learned alot and I hope others did as well. One more step forward in spreading the word!!

Thanks Again! Love you all!!

OK, I watched it (while cringing during every moment of video with me in it) ... I looked and sounded like such a dork!

I wish more of the show was about clusters, but every bit helps!

I was expecting our own PinkFloyd to be interviewed. I don't know where I got that idea, but it would have been nice.

Overall (if you were to exclude the dork) it was a good show. Well reported, and by the looks, very well investigated.

Kudos to National Geographic Chanel for a very informative show!

Now let's hope this boosts the interest and permission so that Dr Halperin can get his study under way!

We can only hope ...

Chuck, the Dork
