Hoffmann's first LSD trip

The celebratory and beautiful film of Albert Hoffmann's first LSD trip. What a whoper! It is called "the biclycle ride", because that is what Hoffmann did after ingesting what he thought to be a minute dose of the substance, but turned out to be a very strong trip.

"I suddenly became strangely inebriated. The external worldbecame changed as in a dream. Objects appeared to gain inrelief;they assumed unusual dimensions; and colors became more glowing.Even self-perception and the sense of time were changed. When the eyes were closed, colored pictures flashed past in a quickly changingkaleidoscope. After a few hours, the not unpleasant inebriation,which had been experienced whilst I was fully conscious, disappeared.what had caused this condition?"
