...documentary" even become part of the film when they begin playing Dick and Tallent against each other. Things get confusing, however, when McDonald uses cinematic slow-motion sequences and other styles which betray the intended reality. This is best illustrated in the scene where the band members trip on LSD.

...life--of which he was deeply proud--still seemed not wholly to satisfy him. He spent his last years in a search for the spiritual and emotional fulfillment he felt he had never fully achieved--a search so intense that he and Clare reportedly experimented occasionally with LSD, on the advice of friends who described it as a vehicle of awakening.

But ketamine and other drugs that are actually medicines are different. Senator Joseph Biden discovered how delicate drug politics can be last year when he designed a bill to control ketamine and the so-called date-rape drug Rohypnol more closely. At the time, rapists' use of the latter to sedate victims had sparked an outcry, but the Rohypnol-controlling part of the legislation...
