A special advanced screening of LEGALLY DRUGGED the absurd but true story of Richie Schneeberg's heroic battle with the mental health industrial complex.When Richie Schneeberg was 15 his father died struggling to provide for his family and it left an indelible mark on him, one that would shape the outcome of his entire life. Richie becomes a self-made millionaire and retires when his wife Cindy becomes pregnant with their child. While in retirement an investment opportunity comes to Richie and he invest almost everything he has. The stress of that decision keeps him from sleeping and Cindy tells him to get some help. Stressed and exhausted, one night he walks into an insane asylum looking for help and they admit him. It’s the first of ten hospital stays over three years which will put Richie on a cycle of 14 different anti-depressant and anti-psychotic drugs that oddly enough trigger psychotic episodes.
�
During one such episode Richie calls 911 thinking that he’s burned his house down and killed his son. Cindy divorces Richie takes full custody of their son. While in and out of insane asylums Richie’s investment pays off to the tune of $10 million. Realizing that there is a relationship between the drugs and his psychotic episodes Richie cleans himself up and tries to get back the family that means so much to him. Shortly after that Cindy dies of cancer and loses custody of his son to his sister-in-law. The family that Richie worked so hard to provide for is gone. The loss pushes Richie to become an advocate for limiting the use of anti-depressant and anti-psychotic drugs.
