Everything Else Matters is a 61-minute documentary built around interviews with researchers, psychiatrists, and practitioners making the case for safer, more deliberate use of psychedelics. The film asks who should use these substances, under what conditions, and who should stay away. That framing positions it squarely in the Progressive column. Advocating for expanded access to substances that remain federally controlled, and treating prohibition as a societal obstacle rather than a protective policy, reflects values more common on the political left. The documentary does not wade into identity politics or religion. Its label comes almost entirely from its political stance on drug policy and the implicit argument that current restrictions cause more harm than they prevent.
