1950's Housewife takes LSD


After reading Aldous Huxley's mescaline inspired book 'The Doors of Perception', researcher Dr. Sidney Cohen began testing LSD as a potential mental health treatment. This woman was one of the many volunteers he dosed at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Los Angeles. I especially like that she's interviewed in a "normal" state, then filmed as she tries to describe her experience. Weirdly charming in a way.
