A Perfect Pill: From Neurons to Nirvana is a smart-looking, in-depth analysis and commentary on psychedelic drugs in light of current scientific, medical and cultural knowledge. From accomplished executive producer Mark Achbar (The Corporation).

The audience will be introduced to the hard science, the neurophysiology and neurochemistry of the psychedelics, the subjective experiences associated with their use, and their medical, social and spiritual significance. It will feature a master Zen monk talking about Satori and psychedelics; an acclaimed neurologist informing us about the effects of MDMA on the amygdala gland; social anthropologists will talk about the politics of the visionary state; and MDs will reflect on the economies of health as they relate to psychedelics as compared to the antidepressants offered up by the major pharmaceutical corporations.
