Getting High is a surreal exploration of the mind, told through the eyes of a narrator trapped in the haze of his own thoughts. As he indulges in a joint, the film takes on a green-tinted aesthetic, symbolizing his disconnection from reality as his consciousness drifts through a series of iconic cinematic references, philosophical musings, and existential dilemmas. The movie draws influence from Fight Club, Her, American Psycho, and The Matrix, weaving these allusions into a disorienting montage of self-doubt, introspection, and the search for meaning. With a soundtrack that ranges from haunting to chaotic, Getting High is both a personal reflection on the consequences of indulgence and a universal commentary on the noise and beauty of modern existence. The film leaves you questioning your own reality, while pondering what truly sustains us — art or the illusions we create.

A group of young people, under the influence of weed, begin to hear strange music in the distance, which gradually envelops them. Could it be that they are the protagonists of an independent film?

Recent years have seen a step-change in Britain's drug culture. Out go the 'old' illegal drugs, cocaine, heroin, speed - swept to one side by a younger generation who can get their hits not only more cheaply but also legally. There is burgeoning market for drugs specially designed by clandestine chemists to get around Britain's drug laws. The new drugs are legal to buy because they're sold as research chemicals and labelled 'not for human consumption'. This hard-hitting observational documentary, Legally High - directed by triple BAFTA-award winner Dan Reed, takes a trip into the murky world of legal drugs, where underground chemists invent new drugs faster than the government can legislate against them.

A man on the verge of a promotion takes a mysterious hallucinogenic drug that begins to tear down his reality and expose his life for what it really is.
