High-school student Doug Dawson has it all: a loving family (comprised by his younger brother and their parents), a terrific girlfriend, a rock band he plays in after school...and a drug habit. The latter costs him everything else, as his behavior becomes increasingly erratic and alienation - some of it mutual - sets in. Doug wanders into an anti-drug lecture by David Toma, playing himself, but Doug is eventually ejected for disruptive behavior. Doug simply does not get the message - until, inevitably, the ultimate tragedy occurs.

LSD 25
LSD 25 (2000)

Themes Medical-themed films, Films about drugs, Documentary films about law, Documentaire sur une personnalité, Documentary films about health care, Films about psychiatry, Films about disabilities

Through audio interviews and montage sequences, LSD 25 is the travelogue of a young Nova Scotian woman's trip to Montreal in 1995, and the psychotronic meltdown which she underwent there. Stephanie Preyde herself eloquently and unflinchingly narrates the film, describing the cumulative effects of the copious amounts of acid she took during that summer, the ongoing and Byzantine delusions which she suffered (Montreal as the lost City of Atlantis amongst others), the repudiation of her physical self, her eventual institutilization and journey to "normalcy." In this experimental documentary—set to a trippy acid jazz score—Preyde faces the ongoing repercussion of her trips: a possible misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder instead of temporary acid psychosis, and ironically, lifelong reliance on prescription meds.

The government develops genetically modified marijuana as part of the War on Drugs, and Norbert the Nark accidentally gives the prototype to the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. With the government on their trail, Phineas Freakears, Freewheelin' Franklin, and Fat Freddy are forced to leave town, acquiring a remote plot of land in order to fulfill their dream of retiring to grow marijuana in the country. Three women join the Freak Brothers' commune, but because gender politics have changed since the 1970s, they do not see eye to eye with the Brothers' free love philosophy.
