Mary Lucia talks about the Netflix Original documentary, Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics, a film that explores the use of hallucinogens through the experiences of those who have experimented with them.

Have a Good Trip is an amusing film that talks to various actors and comedians and celebrities about their trips on acid and mushrooms and psychedelics — lots of different people like Sarah Silverman, A$AP Rocky, Rob Corddry, Ad Rock, Anthony Bourdain, Sting, Reggie Watts, Jim James, Deepak Chopra, Ben Stiller and many others. "It's not groundbreaking; it's not going to blow your mind," Mary says. "But there's some cool animation because they have to give you sort of the the animated version of what it's like to trip."

Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics is written and directed by Donick Cary, and it's streaming now on Netflix.
