Short description

After his wife leaves him, a disillusioned director dives into the drug scene, trying anything his friend suggests.

What's left behind the scenes

The band playing in the club at the very beginning of the film was "International Submarine Band" with vocalist Graham Parsons. However, Corman later removed all the country-rock from the film and replaced the soundtrack with psychedelic music by "Electric Flag".
Jack Nicholson wrote the screenplay based on his actual LSD trip experienced in a laboratory setting and the dramatic breakup of his relationship with his first wife, Sarah Knight.
Bruce Dern didn't want to get involved with drugs, so he asked Corman about everything related to LSD.
Jack Nicholson wrote the role of John to suit himself, but Corman decided to cast Dern in the part.
The film failed to receive certification in the UK four times due to "LSD advertising." The full version was only certified in November 2002 with an "18+" restriction.
