It "explores the potential therapeutic uses and the known hazards of LSD and other hallucinogens, as well as some of the motivations of abusers". The color 16 mm film was made available from Bureau of Drug Abuse Control field offices and from the FDA National Medical Audiovisual Center.

According to some academics, the policies pursued by the government including this and other anti-drug films, "structured social experience [of users]...in such a way as to generate experiences defined as bad trips". The film was recommended for school curricula by government and non-government authorities, and was used in some U.S. schools. (en)
