Greatest Journey: A Psychedelic Adventure uses a humorous narrative structure to investigate hallucinogens, the pros, the cons, why people use them, the history, science behind them, and what is the impact of psychedelic adventures on pop culture. .
But that's not all, the documentary also raises the question: can hallucinogens such as LSD and mushrooms play a powerful role in treating depression, drug and alcohol addiction, and help us confront the only certainty in life? , what do we die of? Or increase our sense of ourselves in the face of the universe? Are we all stardust? Is it really possible to transcend your consciousness?

Greatest Journey: A Psychedelic Adventure is written and directed by Donick Cary, winner of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program, which honors an animation that has excelled in television in the last year.
The cast of this psychedelic documentary includes Adam Scott, Carrie Fisher, Natasha Lyonne, David Cross, Nick Kroll, Sting, Will Forte, Paul Scheer, Reggie Watts, Rob Cordory, Rosie Perez, Shepard Fairey, Bill Kreutzmann of the band Greatful Dead, among others. .
“Don't get me wrong, drugs can be dangerous”, introduces Nick Offerman at the beginning of the documentary, “but they can be a lot of fun”.
The singer Sting, for example, tells of the time he ate peyote, a thornless cactus with psychoactives, and thought of the tones for the song Roxanne. But then he saw Halley's Comet on top of a mountain as someone smeared deer blood on his face. Crazy, huh? He also says that trees and grass started talking to him.
As the cast is mostly made up of comedians, the reports are expected to be funny and absurd. Adam DeVine transforms into a young Anthony Bourdain when the head chef became paranoid about the time he thought he killed a backpacker.
Carrie Fisher also appears in the documentary, which indicates that the production has been taped for longer than we might think: Carrie died in December 2016 while Bourdain died in June 2018.
Rosei Perez was lying down when she used the hallucinogens and felt herself becoming part of her own bed as she looked at the ceiling of her room.
Nick Kroll recreates the scene where he splashed on a beach and became just one with seaweed. As? Just watch Biggest Voyage: A Psychedelic Adventure to find out.
How to make absurd scenes? For that, it is necessary to use all the talent of the more than talented cast that manages to recount their wildest trips with humor. Fun and colorful animations - as any psychedelic trip demands -, puppets, costumes, crazy props and everything you can imagine.
"Psychedelics are not the answer to the world's problems, but they can be a start," Sting said. It is also from this perspective that the documentary addresses: how the self-knowledge generated by psychedelics can help in solving problems.
But it's also worth ing that, as Thomas Lennon said in the trailer, hallucinogens can turn the world around them "into an opera out of your worst nightmares." Don't think that bad trips will be left out, but you can be prepared that the aim of the documentary is to be more funny than scary.
Ben Stiller says he took acid once, but maybe he didn't need it, as he could have just watched the documentary. Did you feel like watching? Longest Journey: A Psychedelic Adventure is available this Monday, May 11, to watch on Netflix.
