Being one who has well experienced psychedelics, I must say this film hits it on the head. Tom has many ideas which still hold true today.

I learned how to grow the best... I learned the meaning of cloning 20 years before Dolley was born. I actually picked peyote from its mother cactus. Then I quit the life,got a job, and went back to school where I learned about the cool things called lasers! Now almost 40 years later I've…
