Did you know that in 1962, a short documentary about LSD was released in Czechoslovakia?

Directed by Vladimír Kabelík, the documentary shows Czech psychiatrists giving a student a dose of LSD, with special effects conveying the experience.

The movie was called Looking for Toxin X, with “Toxin X” representing the root of all mental disorders, and LSD being the mechanism that helps the doctors locate it.

What’s particularly interesting about this film is that the entire film crew was also given doses of LSD while they were filming the movie.
