A stoner friend of mine had a video he watched when he got high. It
started out with music and shapes and minor tripy stuff but then it
went into this cool fantasy scape like they do at an Imax. I wanted to
get some stuff like that for a party I'm having. I looked around but
it was stuff that's harsh or demonic Who would want that when they're
high is beyond me.  Anyway, My question- can you find me a couple of
these tapes or sites that have them or talk about how to get them.
Bonus points- who makes them and how much do they cost.

Thanks, let me know if this isn't helpful. I'll provide more.

"I have watched Beyond the Mind's Eye REALLY stoned and found it to be
a
most....diverting experience.  Altho the music I listened to while
watching
it wasn' the music on the soundtrack (It was White Zombie if I recall
correctly) the images on the screen far outweighed whatever influence
the
music was having on me at that particular point in the evening."

(If I was someone who got high, my choice of viewing would probably be
the TeleTubbies)

I trust this answers your question. If you are after purchase options
for one of these tapes, please ask for a clarification, and mention
which country you live in.

Amazon! i would never have guessed. the links rock. thanks

Hi g_austin

RobertSkelton gave a great answer about
some really good videos. I thought I would
add with this. Are you familiar with Winamp,
[ http://classic.winamp.com/plugins/browse.jhtml?componentFlag=P&categoryName=3D ]
and it's plugins? There are some very excellent
"visuals" for winamp, combined with the right
mp3's and you'll have a really good setup. The
party starts at 4:20, right? ;-)
