Sometime in the late 60s the Creative Department at the DEA collaborated with the San Mateo High School District to make this short film about LSD narrated by LSD. Trippy, right? It’s sort of like those videos that bill made where he taught us about himself through a catchy song, but with more screaming, insanity, and blood.
If you’ve ever wondered what acid sounds like, the answer is sinister. The drug is played by a creepy, echo-y old man voice that brings to mind Hannibal Lecter or your pedophiliac uncle. One of the highlights is towards the beginning of the film, when the director interviews some old people who reinforce the age old “old people don’t know dick about drugs” stereotype. There’s also a mention of the cultic founders of the fabled Acid City.

It’s Friday and it’s snowing, so go on and take that acid you’ve been saving for a rainy day and watch this thing. It’s really funny.
