National Geographic Explorer: "Inside LSD"

Thanks to the blunt and criminal “war on drugs”, even therapeutically promising substances like Lsd, Mdma or psilocybin were put in the unscientific and taboo-fueled cauldron of poisons and evil drugs. That put a virtual end to the legal scientific research on therapeutic properties of psychedelics/entheogens. Yet, things seem slowly change nowadays, thanks to the efforts and determination of dedicated scientists and researchers and no-profit groups like MAPS.

The video below is the final part of the National Geographic Explorer documentary Inside Lsd recently seen on TV (thankfully a rather well balanced production, not so full of the usual bias and prejudices.) I chose the final part because it seems to me particularly interesting and moving, but you can see the other 4 parts:
