Netflix and psychedelic documentaries
There are now a lot of documentaries/movies on Netflix about psychedelics and how they work, but occasionally they disappear. Currently, there is a fair amount of information about psilocybin and LSD. To a lesser extent, ayahuasca, MDMA and mescaline are also discussed. We do have a documentary or movie listed for each of the psychedelics mentioned. Below are our top four.
4: The Goop Lab
The rest of Goop Lab contains a lot of nonsense and should be taken with a grain of salt, but during episode 1 we see something interesting. During Episode 1 of Season 1 of Goop Lab with Gwyneth Paltrow, we see part of a magic mushroom healing. Although every ceremony looks different and we are not such a fan of the ceremony shown, the episode does indicate the healing powers of psilocybin (magic mushrooms) during a therapeutic setting.

3: Have A Good Trip
Although several psychedelic stories are told by (semi-) celebrities, this documentary is mainly about LSD and psilocybin containing mushrooms. LSD predominates. It is not so much an educational documentary, although the ending of the film had an educational value. This documentary is mainly intended to be entertaining and this one is.

1: How To Change Your Mind
How To Change Your Mind is based on the book by Michael Pollan. The book describes a number of different psychedelic substances well and is detailed in them. Each episode focuses on a different psychedelic and covers LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and mescaline. Because of its completeness, this documentary is number 2 on this list.
