I'm watching this now, and I've heard of the guy!
A guy who drowned in Lake Ontario after taking LSD at a Pink Floyd concert, that is. I was in high school when we had a speaker come in to tell us about drugs. He brought up this story. He ended up dead in a car crash a few months later. I don't remember the speaker's name, but there was an article about him in the Toronto Star.
The movie is on The Movie Network now. It looks surprisingly good for a Canadian movie. I might finish it, even though it's the middle of the night.
