Very informative 2 minute video about cannabis’ ability to cure certain forms of cancer:
And for a much more in-depth look at this topic, I recommend the recent documentary, “What if Cannabis Cured Cancer?”
This film, narrated by Peter Coyote, would make a eye-opening gift to friends and family who are skeptical about cannabis’ medical and anti-carcinogenic properties.
Purchase from Amazon or download the torrent.
Here’s the trailer:
This very accessible and deeply fascinating one-hour documentary takes a look at some of the variety of modern scientific experiments looking at psychic phenomena.

Excellent 6 1/2 minute interview with experiential journalist and writer Rak Razam about the philosophical, spiritual and socio-cultural dimensions of trance parties (“doofs”). This is from a documentary film project in development called The 7th Direction, about the Australian trance-dance culture.

Very nice, recent 5 minute interview with legendary DJ and saddhu Goa Gil. Video is from the Goa Hippy Tribe project which has been working on making a documentary about the past 40 years psychedelic Goa culture.
Cultivating A Cure is a documentary in production and currently fundraising for completion. It is about the wealth of medicinal plants in the Amazonian rainforest and their impending threat of eradication. It includes interviews with native healers and research scientists such as Dennis McKenna.
Please the watch the trailer for what looks like a beautiful and immensely important project: CultivatingACure.com
Please watch the documentary Gasland. It’s an extremely important matter and will only increase dramatically in significance over the coming years.
Trailer for artfully directed Gasland:
Here is a 7 minute promo for what appears to be a mainstream adventure/documentary television program in development about Ayahuasca healing in the Amazon.
Bringing valuable information to spiritually starving masses sounds pretty good but it’s also possible to trivialize entheogenic practices with pop-culture antics or feed the still unstable aspects of ayahuasca tourism. We’ll see what happens.
I’m not as big a Zeitgeist fan as some of my friends, but let me say, the 3rd Zeitgeist movie does not disappoint. From excellent summaries of genetic science to fascinating monitary theories to global revolution, Peter Joseph has made another timely and important film.
This seems to point toward how high-end psychedelic documentaries are going to become:

I just saw the documentary American: The Bill Hicks Story and was thoroughly impressed.
It seemed a little geared toward those who are already familiar with Hicks, as it is more of an intimate biography and doesn’t include include that much of his classic material, but the style in which it was done, utilizing many old photographs and rare clips with creative artistic renderings and Ken Burns style panning, was original and a joy to watch.
Here is one of the parts of the film where psychedelic mushrooms are discussed:
