Footage of housewife on acid in 1956

From Don Lattin at HuffPo:

Here's some rare footage of an experimental LSD session that I came across doing research for my next book, a group biography of British writer Aldous Huxley, philosopher Gerald Heard, and Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's from a television program, circa 1956, about mental health issues.

The researcher, Dr. Sidney Cohen, was dosing volunteers at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Los Angeles. Aldous Huxley, who first tried mescaline in 1953 and wrote about it in his seminal book, The Doors of Perception, got Gerald Heard interested in the spiritual potential of psychedelic drugs.

[Thanks Mason and The Dropper!]

great video! it seems like she is having a really revealing experience. too bad she has to share it with someone that doesn't quite understand "it". do you know if there are other videos from this experiment that are still available?

Spectacular find! It makes me feel glad that people did this, but sad that this great experiement was quashed, and that this country has returned to seeking frendied material values. But I think there is a resurgence of sanity. Thank you for this, it is precious.
