Could the drug even have the potential to heal our society? In medical laboratories, clinics, psychotherapy practices, luxury retreats, as microdoses for self-optimization, and through legal derivatives, lively experimentation is underway both at home and abroad. This has little to do with the old flower-power image. LSD, magic mushrooms, and MDMA have become symbols of hope, seen by some as capable of freeing the world from trauma and depression. They've become an economic factor for the pharmaceutical and wellness industries-and for some, even a game-changer that might bring humanity back to its senses in the face of the climate crisis. Fighting climate change with drugs? A participant in the LSD study at the University Hospital in Basel takes his dose under the supervision of study director Anna Becker. Philosopher and professor Thomas Metzinger advocates for the controlled use of the drug to usher in a much-needed new "culture of consciousness" in times of war and climate crisis. What sounds like a utopia could soon become reality: in the U.S., the approval of MDMA as a treatment for trauma therapy is expected in 2023. This could trigger a global domino effect-revolutionizing the treatment of depression and other mental illnesses. But even outside the medical world, the hype surrounding LSD has already taken hold. Legal LSD derivatives Participants and trip-sitters at the MODERNMIND retreat in the Westerwald meditate in preparation for an LSD trip. Enterprising individuals are offering legal LSD derivatives for sale. For those who don't dare take that leap, "microdosing" offers a way to boost creativity. And retreats for guided psychedelic trips are popping up like magic mushrooms. The COVID crisis, along with anxiety about the future and global instability, has further fueled the trend. But can a drug really help create a better society? The documentary "The LSD Comeback - The Sober Renaissance of the Hippie Drug" dives into this discussion, taking viewers on a journey through the psychedelic world 2.0-from microdosing parties to an LSD retreat to a prestigious university hospital in Switzerland. It explores both supporters and skeptics. Written by 3sat See less
