There was some 1990s documentary about fractals, narrated by Arthur C. Clarke (I think), where he said something along the lines of "I've not tried this myself, but I've been told there's certain illegal chemicals that can cause hallucinations that look like fractals".

(I have this on VHS tape somewhere. Should probably digitise it.)
