Acid's considered one of the safest drugs... Look it up on unbiased websites.

The really heavy hallucinations in the film were more like synthetic mesc, which they was doing among many other things.

Did I mention I grow cactus?

Oh man, I'm sorry. And who cares if you talk about acid on the thread, if it gets nuked it gets nuked, whatever.

edit: that last sentence was directed at Sam.

edit: I don't want to take lsd because of an unsafe trip, not the health affects.

This is some seriously blasphemous shit going down on cannabis.com right now...

I'd say fear and loathing makes the most sense to two select groups of people:

People who have read the book. Which is amazing. The movie tries, and comes very close to living up to the book, but falls short, as with any great novel.

and

People who have done large quantities of hallucinogens. Wheeee!
Seriously though, if you've never encountered concepts like "the fear", or self-narration, you won't enjoy the movie as much as people who have. The entire thing is made as a sort of homage to the gonzo spirit, drawing the reader, or in this case the watcher, into the story as well.

It's fucking brilliant man.

And as has already been said, it's got some amazing insights into the death of idealism as the sixties dragged into the seventies. The american dream, etc.

But I'm not going to try to convince you. Just like how I wouldn't go through the trouble to point out that even the fed's anti-drug propaganda doesn't say anything bad about lsd other than it can lead to a bad psychological experience. set and setting. it's all an experience. being scared of experiences is like being scared of life.

Are you kidding me!!??!! Fear and Loathing is one of the BEST movies ever made. You gotta watch it under some kind of influence, hint hint. ;)

Some trippy sh!t in there!! It will make your laugh your ass off, and then hit you where it hurts, lol! Send me your copy; I'd gladly take it off your hands...


Junk~

The movie is complete bullshit. period

TITANIC MADE ME CRYYYY!!!

Not a lot of people liked this movie. It was a boxoffice flop if I remeber right. :)

It's not for everyone, expecially if you're against any other drugs except cannabis, but it is one of favorite movies ever.

Probably because I used to do the LSD and blow, so I guess I can relate to the experiences they have. If you have never done those things, then you don't really get it, and yes, you find it dumb.

First time I saw it I was eating fungi, so what they were seeing and doing, I could relate making it that much more enjoyable.
