3. Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics — Netflix Documentary

Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics is a 2020 Netflix documentary. If you want to learn about psychedelics this is THE documentary to watch!

Although it doesn’t mention magic truffles, we still recommend it. After all, with the right dose, you’ll get the same effects from truffles as you would from shrooms.

Basically, a bunch of people share their experiences with psychedelics — some good, some bad — and in-between all the science behind it is explained simply.

It’s educational and funny at the same time. Nothing is presented as pro or anti-drug propaganda; nothing is trying to influence you to go a certain way — it’s truly educational.

It’s a great resource for beginners because they present so many different experiences, you won’t be frightened or nervous if you go through it yourself — you’ll already have an idea of what to expect.

For experienced psychonauts… it’ll take you on a trip (no pun intended!) down memory lane ‘cause you’ve surely had many experiences like the ones they describe!
