Kykeon Media started as a small group of friends with a passion for storytelling and psychedelic filmmaking. At Kykeon Media, we believe that films have the power to change the way the world thinks about hallucinogens and mind-altering substances. Our vision is to create films that Engage, Elevate, and Entertain while promoting positive social change.
Kykeon Media formed with the objective of bringing Sheldon Norberg's critically acclaimed memoir and theatrical production "Confessions of a Dope Dealer" to the Big Screen and the Big Stream.
Kykeon Media strives to make a difference through the power of storytelling.
Join us on this long strange trip.
Kykeon was a popular drink in ancient Greece that was made from a variety of ingredients, including water, barley, herbs and wine. It was most famous for its use in the Eleusinian Mysteries, a ritual that took place at the city of Eleusis to commemorate the goddess Demeter's search for her daughter Persephone.
The exact purpose of the drink, "kykeon" in these rituals is still debated by classicists and archeologists, but it was believed to be very psychoactive. The fungus Ergot on the barley may have been responsible for the drink's psychoactive properties. Ergot and LSD are related in that ergot contains lysergic acid, a precursor to LSD.
In the book "The Road to Eleusis", co-authors R. Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann and Carl A. P. Ruck
dig deeply into the chemical and cultural history and mystery of kykeon. Robert Graves and Terence McKenna posited that hallucinogenic mushrooms may also have been involved in the sacred rites.
Independent Movies are a big passion at Kykeon Media. And so is policy reform when it comes to Psychedelics and how they are portrayed in the movies. Dope Dealer: A Matter of Dosage brings a point of view that entertains, elevates and excites, while discussing responsible beneficial use vs risky, dangerous drug abuse.
