He's losing his mind and he feels it going.

Oh man! Watching a BBC thing on Timothy Leary and they played a clip from some Navy anti-drug thing which claims that if a person gets startled at a certain point in an acid trip, they'll lose their mind, and commit suicide.

I'd love to see this entire film. It looks hilarious! Sadly, I didn't have the title, just the branch it was produced for and the quote. Searched archive.org, youtube, and google video but no luck. *sigh* But.. It's the source of a soundbyte in the song listed in music. Heh.

I love Simon Posford and other Twisted record guys sampling Leary, Burroughs, Watts, and other drug-related stuff. It makes it more fun when I find the original material and listen to it.

Are you referring to the film with the younger kid who goes on about 'when you're introduced to LSD it can be the most important thing in your life, like reading the bible six times or becoming the pope'? I was surprised seeing that clip that he was so young...and now I don't recall where I saw it, either.
