Dosed: The Trip of a Lifetime

Great film very deep and warming and emotional. I've never tried Psychedelics but I am interested in Psychology, the soul, spirituality and Mental Health. I am a Mental Health Nurse and have recently been diagnosed with some conditions myself and on Ritalin now which is a small dose of an amphetamine..slowing my brain down. Would love research on these mushrooms more in the Mental Health field, so much potential. I am a Christian so I was interested in the spiritual aspect of this film and how psychedelics delve into your spiritual self and use parts ofvyour brsin undiscovered or unusrd before. This ladies story in this film was not what I expected and was heartwarming ...and thought provoking...what to do when facing your own mortality? I just wish this research had come years ago to help my ex who died following being addicted to alcohol..as I can see potential with this in the addiction field too and changing thought patterns in the brain sparking new pathways to discover awareness of self and to open up the mind and creativity and self awareness...and can help with addictive though patterns stuck. I also believe these mushrooms can open up psychic ability too which touched on in the film in a way. I do think this can have a good and bad side ...my Mum had experience with this and LSD in 70s...opened up psychic abilities which were dark so i think needs to be controlled though with the right people around and supportive and safe and to have a strong mind. Great potential for using these mushrooms for all sorts of medical purposes and these helped the lady in the film and her family greatly .. Great case more research and for legalising for medical purposes please...alcohol is the worse substsnce and is legal and a killer...this is not related to film...but the film makes you think about your own experiences with self or loved ones.

If you take a cursory glance at the title, you might think Dosed 2 shows people talking about their funniest psychedelic experiences, or maybe it's a an indictment of the pharmaceutical industry. In reality, this film is a human story, a love story. The focus of the film is Laurie, a woman with Stage 4 cancer. While psilocybin is a key character in her arc, it is hardly what makes this film so compelling. Dosed 2 follows Laurie through difficult health news and decisions. We see her turn to psilocybin-assisted therapy to try to make peace with her own death, while wanting desperately to stay here on Earth with her loving husband, Glen, and 4 young adult children just coming into their own. And somehow, even with such weighty themes, the film strikes a balance by bringing in humour and love. So much love. Watch this film. It will make you laugh and cry and write to your MP/Senator in support of legalization.

No other film talks about how to live fully and have a healthy relationship with death by finding one's authentic self like this film so thoughtfully and beautifully depicts.

Following Laurie, her family, and the filmmaker's journeys, we seem to grow with them as we see the lessons they've learnt about life & death and how to make it all worth it. There are msgs in this film that I think resonate with all humans' fundamental needs so you can't help but see parts of yourself that connect and relate to these people. It's a crucially positive film about topics we have or will face, and what it means to be human.

A one of a kind film that would help everyone who sees it!

Laurie is a woman ready to make the changes she needed to make, look at the parts of herself that needed attention and willing to break herself open. I am so glad that she had the legal right, that we all need restored, to try an ancient medicine with a novel approach. She said to the audience, who attended a recent showing of Dosed 2, that the paperwork to gain this right was onerous and makes the medicine experience inaccessible. We know that many more people could be helped with existential anxiety at end of life.

In this film we have a call to action. Our politicians need to hear from us that we want the right to try these sacred substances.

I fell in love with Laurie and her family and all families who are facing ill health and death. We his is us.

Very well made documentary with an endearing lead character and a gripping story. Anyone with an interest in psychedelics for helping alleviate anxiety and pain caused by trauma would find this doc a must-see, along with Fantastic Fungi (2019).
