Dosed: The Trip of a Lifetime (With Post-screening Q&A)

Join us on Monday, July 10 for an encore screening of DOSED: The Trip of a Lifetime, followed by a post-show talk-back and Q&A featuring filmmakers and people from the film.

In the film, Laurie, a loving mother of four, is granted the right to legally use magic mushrooms to treat her end of life anxiety. She then embarks on a remarkable journey of personal transformation and healing while exploring lesser known possible cures for cancer, like cannabis oil. Featuring interviews and commentary from Dr Gabor Maté, Paul Stamets, Dennis McKenna, Dave Phillips, Sharan Sidhu, Ben Lightburn, Dr Reg Peters, Chino Julian, Garyth Moxey, Dr Rob Sealey, Dana Larsen, Tyler Chandler, Nicholas Meyers, and Laurie and Glenn Brooks.

“Although following some of the practices we’ve come to expect from documentary filmmaking, [directors] Chandler and Meyers use sweeping aerial shots and compelling representative visuals to go beyond general convention.” (Film Threat)

“A moving and effective documentary about one woman’s quest to find peace in her final days and the power of medicinal mushrooms. Seeing her move from agony to acceptance, full of gratitude and hope, was deeply affecting and inspiring.” (Morbidly Beautiful )
