Arguably the best few minutes of the last season of television, and certainly the best of Mad Men. From the season finale.

Frequently cited as one of the (if not the) best representations of the substance on film.
I noticed there were no HD versions of this beautiful scene online, so I decided to rectify that. Hopefully I won't receive a copyright notice, as I think more people should be aware of this scene. As a pretty accurate representation of the experience, it deserves more views.
Often people think of LSD trips as some crazy alternate universe, where it doesn't happen like that. Perception changes, not the whole world spiraling into the void. Granted at very high doses that kind of deep trip can happen, but most people would neither have the desire nor wherewithal to try that.
For those of you that have made it this far and aren't scoffing, I'd recommend a few links of interest.
