Written By Amanda Tovar

The documentary is an 18 minute film that analyzes the re-emerging of psychedelics such as "magic" mushrooms and dispensaries in Vancouver BC and -legal- ketamine clinics RIGHT HERE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.

Dr. Lewis stated that he views "these videos as an extension of my teaching + research in the American Studies Dept at UT-Austin---I shoot on GoPro’s, edit on my laptop, compose and record the soundtrack, and share it on Youtube. I hope you enjoy!"
