She is pretty terrible at describing whats happening to her.
If you haven't read Flatland, I highly recommend you do so. While on acid, of course.
That clip left me with so many questions. What was the purpose of the dosing? Did they follow up with her? Was there a lasting change in her life? Seems like it must have been radically jarring to her 1950s housewife societal role.
I think the truly fascinating thing about acid is that is does have an impact but it's somehow not that jarring, given what it is.
It saddens me that there is no safe and legal way for me to try it.
When I see videos like this, or read other experiences of LSD, I wonder if I'm not missing out on something. LSD, uniquely amongst mainstream recreational drugs, seems to have the promise of an outright transcendental upside, with supposedly little downside. It saddens me that there is no safe and legal way for me to try it.

Anecdotally, I've heard from friends in the jamband scene about friends who did LSD who came back "completely changed , and not in a good way."

Is there really little downside? Anecdotally, I've heard from friends in the jamband scene about friends who did LSD who came back "completely changed , and not in a good way."
Anecdotally i've heard people say marijuana will get you addicted to harder drugs, will turn you into a melted couch blob, etc.

I'm not saying your friends weren't changed for the worse, but I do know I've never met someone who was proud to be an LSD user. As such I have to conclude that people choose to speak poorly about LSD, which in turn means we all hear more horror stories than feel good endings.
To me, it seems that she is trying to say that the difference between watching a movie in B/W and then in Technicolor, would be similar as being sober and then taking LSD.

I imagine there is a lot of confirmation bias going on with stories like that. Drugs are seen almost universally as taboo, so people want to see the bad things that may happen and when people want to see something, exaggerations tend to happen.
