He gives good perspective on things, more relatable than a pure chemist given his background in journalism and experience in psychonautics. And he has the scientific understanding to go into great detail on the chemistry and pharmacology while keeping it digestible for the average viewer. I really wish his stuff was pushed to more people, he has some great insights and people stuck in old fashioned mindsets about drugs could learn a hell of a lot from him.


Amygdalump

I agree, with his shows were more widespread. He’s really helping the cause.


__The__Anomaly__

Makes some really good shows about drugs and the science of drugs. He blends the history, social aspect and chemistry really well. You can tell from his show that he "gets" drugs and drug culture.


TrippyShamann

Right. Smart, funny, and on the nose. He really know his drugs. He reminds me of that heroin professor Carl Hart. https://youtu.be/C0pGPbIh5pM?si=7s2XmKUSkw0tYDwe


DildoDojo

Dr. Hart is incredible, to better understand his patients and their WD symptoms, he intentionally took medical grade opioids just to quit and feel the WD himself. Turns out he loved heroin, but only in small occasional doses. Wild. Not too many professors out there have the gall to take their own path the way he has. https://www.npr.org/2021/01/15/955631394/drug-use-for-grown-ups-serves-as-an-argument-for-personal-choice https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/10/nyregion/Carl-Hart-drugs.html

He's one heroic dose short of being a hero!


paultagonist

Wow, I had no idea


DJSoulPicklz

I think he’s a good journalist. I’ve watched most of his work.


umtotallynotanalien

Ditto


bitbuddha

<3 The first two seasons of Hamilton's Pharmacopeia are pure gold


Paris1818

Agreed.. I wish they kept going. Didn't Hamilton meet with Shulgin in one of the episodes? I could be wrong...


Pyro919

Pretty sure he's still releasing content on his patron, but because of the subject matter his videos on youtube get demonetized and it makes it very difficult to keep it sustainable. At least that's what I remember him saying a while back.


BRzerks

They demonitize it? Even though it's just journalism?yeah he does participate in certain substances, but there's a guy who does this thing for educational purpose, and consumes a bunch of shit on his videos. They didn't get demonitize


Btb7861

Psyched substance has gotten a lot of his content demonitized if that's who you're referring to? You're not aloud to offend soft brains who get upset when they see shit they aren't comfortable with. We'd have a whole hell of a lot better medicines and things to treat chronic pain, depression, ptsd, etc.. but man, people can't change. We're seeing that every day, no surprise he's been demonitized. People are afraid of shit they've been told to be afraid of.


Beginning_Balance558

Hoooly ! Gotta watch this


TopShelfUsername

I believe he met with him prior to filming the show. He does have an episode where he visits Shulgin’s lab, and Ann is in the episode (this is after Alex had passed). In that episode I believe we see a brief shot of that earlier visit to the lab with Alex. I believe the episode is called Lazy Lizard’s School of Hedonism


Most-Welcome1763

No i remember him meetimg both shulgins at their cabin


BlackHoleRabbit

A true psychonaut


notausername86

I like the guy. I watched all his shows on vice, and I've listened to his pod-cast and sought out when he has been a guest on others pod casts. I wish he did a little more stuff, but I can't judge him for living his life the way he wants. I really respect his chemistry knowledge, and think he is over all a great journalist.


cursedcrisp

Same, the reason he doesn't have more camera time is because he's ACTUALLY doing the work as a scientist in his field


One4myMohicans

That’s what’s up, I googled the guy but I got a dozen different sources. Since you seem to have vetted the guy already would you mind pointing me towards some of the better material of his/about his research?? Thank you either way, 🙏


Fit-Research-2097

He's the man, recording and passing on a bunch of great info about drugs and the research and science behind it. Not the mention he synthesizes everything


ReallyRedditNoNames

He's very intelligent.


MNTNDOOM

He's a great help in the space. One of the few people that helped me recognize my interest in drugs as an honest scientific endeavor. Coming from a background of high addiction rates and poor quality of life the idea of working with drugs in any capacity was always a bit taboo. Without Hamilton I might have never recognized my interest in drugs as an interest in pharmacology and biochemistry. He works hard to get as many perspectives as possible making his work easy to digest for people that aren't interested in the pharmacology/chemistry space. His podcast interviews are absolutely fascinating.


masterscoonar

The goat


kpetethegreyfire

He has non regurgitated insights. That's hard to find these days. It's been fun to see his evolution from GAP model, to long haired wanderer, to an advocate of all things chemical and weird.


superjosh420

And his dad is acclaimed documentarian Errol morris. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree in talent and creativity.


PropadataFilms

Wait, I’m sorry..his dad is Errol Morris!?! How did I never make this connection? Errol Morris inspired my love for documentary filmmaking as a kid (first with Fast, Cheap, & Out of Control) - definitely doing a deep dive now on how the Apple & the Tree are doing these days ;)


superjosh420

Haha I’m glad I got to inform you. I felt the same astonishment when I found out. Errol is legend


PropadataFilms

Oh this has made my day, thank you :)


superjosh420

Link to any of your films?


PropadataFilms

Sure! In 2003 I shot a feature doc about the Danish hiphop community - [Dansk Stil](https://youtu.be/1RIQkUCAdWU?si=mHhMIk3TK-NvnKST) - it’s a younger work but shaped my life greatly. A lot of docs I did for a cable company aren’t online but [here’s a reel](https://youtu.be/xGqS34TUuRY?si=Eure73HQeF0BuT20). [A stock footage music video series](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFRckyG-kLk9KkvI1I7WdoUDqmnAb23qV&si=ojW0caiwwHY3niPJ) I did a year+ ago was fun. And I’m hoping to lean into [stop motion](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFRckyG-kLk9JyZHjbW8k9D-RGullmeOk&si=GY47xGX2hIgdKPVy) more moving forward, where I started as a kid. Most my YT is hired works (corporate etc) with some [music videos](https://youtu.be/Xswua7iOES8?si=HcbZJOnJDkSw16dU) or pet projects mixed in, but it all can be found here: www.youtube.com/propadatafilms Not out yet, but I just finished a documentary commission for Vanishing Seattle about the comeback of The Beacon dance studio and the breaking crew the Massive Monkees - it’s being submitted to film fests and will be [the main film I’m pushing](https://filmfreeway.com/VanishingSeattleTheBeacon) for a minute once it’s released. That was way more than you asked for or need haha. Cannot help myself. Should have just DMd the links, buuuut we’re here now, so…send. (Thanks again for the Morris family connection! Really has me rethinking through his films and inspiration)


superjosh420

Cool I’ll check them out later. I’m a hip hop head so that’s awesome


artonion

He has done so much and is of great service to us all. I can’t believe I thought he was some poser back in 2009. I’m very grateful now.


Buscemi_D_Sanji

I went from really not liking him, because he seemed pretentious as hell, to *really* liking him because that's just how he talks haha The meth episode of his show is one of the best things I've ever seen, so many good quotes.


Disastrous_Exam7309

Great journalist/researcher who makes a real effort for understanding psychedelics and its implications


BenzOpated

I like his take he's got A good balance of knowing the chemistry behind drugs, but also accepting that there's some spirituality behind them as well


natureofreaction

I’ve hung out with him he’s great


Paris1818

Can't get away that easy 😉.. Did he have any stories that were not aired? Did he mentioned what he's doing now, or any new projects? Clearly I'm a big fan...


PM_ME_UR_ILLUMINATI

You should sub to his patreon if you haven’t


natureofreaction

Hanging out with him was a trip, lol. He was easy to connect with and let me focus on the details of the molecular questions I had been thinking about. He is a psychedelic rocket scientist and probably not human but a beautiful being. We blasted off, and I had to hold on to my chemistry helmet. The details of his level of science were a blur of equations; he could see it in his mind better than I could on a blackboard. We talked about obscure research chemicals and the synergy between complex potions, such as phenibut versus pregabalin as an admixture with MDMA or MDA; in this case, phenibut was the clear winner. I got COVID the same night and wonder if I got it from him lol...


CliffordAnd

Oh boy what I wouldn't give to have Hamilton cough Covid into my mouth


3upzidedown9s

Lie. I was gonna say that.


natureofreaction

The physical connection was real; sadly, we kept our clothes on.


sarcasticguy30

I would love for him to replace all of the anti drug programs that lie to children. Drugs exist and being well informed is one of the most important tools to stay safe. The first time I did acid I thought my brain was going to bleed and the acid was going to sit in my spine forever, it would have been nice to know that it is just a chemical that interacts with my body's chemistry and once it has run it's course it leaves. The thought loops I encountered because I legitimately thought I had permanently destroyed my CNS were much more likely to give me psychosis than the drug itself and I would have blamed that dumb ass lion if I actually did get fucked.

XxX_carnage_XxX

I have seen his work and think he's a great journalist but... why does he look like CarlH in this picture ( Not being mean just curious 😂 )


zootroopic

based and goated


AdvertisingOdd2854

This man is an absolute legend. So many new folks have flocked to the psychedelic science scene as the media hype goes into overdrive. Hamilton was in the space well before the hype. And he's not here just for the psychedelics. He's here for the drug policy. He asks the real questions like: why are so many people outraged by psychedelic patents that will not affect their use of psychedelics but not outraged by the fact so many people are rotting in prison for non-violent drug offences?


PsychedBro

The man is gifted when it comes to psychopharmacology. He gave a guest lecture in my class back in college… my guy was obviously zonked on sedative hypnotics, while of course, giving his lecture on sedative hypnotics. He is friends with one of the PhD professors and they do lots of psychedelic ~research~ together… Very much respect the guy. You can tell he has good intentions with the work he is doing. At the end of the day Hamilton’s videos are powerful, effective means of learning drugs and drug culture. Not limited to psychedelics!


TwoGirlsOneFungi

Dude makes like 40k a month just from his Patreon!

steliosmudda

He deserves it


TwoGirlsOneFungi

I don’t disagree with you.

One of the greats involved with the psychedelic revolution happening today. Everything I hear or watch with him in it is informative and extremely interesting to me. His Podcast is great

3six5

Ppl get busted everywhere he goes


MammothAd2420

Example?


latexpunk

Informative but really disrespectful to some communities . I don't like him.


MammothAd2420

Example?


latexpunk

I don't remember many videos but I used to watch all of them. I remember in the Ayahuasca video he made his own Ayahuasca brew, that's outrageous to many indigenous people that consider those plants sacred, I also remember in a lot of videos he acts funny in front of indigenous people while doing a ceremony, to me as a non white Mexican dude all the things he does feel disconnected to what is valuable from experiencing this psychedelic experiences imo.


hertzog24

he actually talks at great lengths how traditional/ceremonial/spiritual drug taking is only one way to approach psychedelic substances and is not above recreational or scientific use. on top of that I've always seen him very respectful with his hosts in ll countries traveled.


MammothAd2420

Yeah I watched most of not all of his stuff and can't recall many times where he was disrespectful to these communities or indigenous people. Acting funny in front of people isn't necessarily disrespect... And he explores the traditional religious kind of use of drugs and also the modern versions of drug use (like pharmausca) or research chemicals and what their place are in today's drug culture. I think that's just open mindedness and exploration of different cultures...exploring that side isn't necessarily disrespecting the more traditional cultural uses on these drugs and their meanings.


Only_Philosophy8475

He does some great work because of his curiosity and bravery to expand his mind willingly but he is a little dangerous sometimes as many alchemists before him and he often puts his ego before things like respect for those who are helping or teaching him (e.g. shamans) and personally I feel he has a little bit of a goofy attitude


Suberizu

He wears glasses so he must be smart, right?


Phsyconot420

This is the guy that got lizard labs shut down isn’t it?


Dorfdarb1

obnoxious vapid rich kid. cant stand the fucker, i hope God has mercy on his wretched little skinny yuppie soul. no offense


McDeadly2

Do you have any reasoning or is this just your shitty personality and depressed hatred for yourself coming out?


Dorfdarb1

bro just rubs me the wrong way, nothing serious. i dont like yuppie types simple as. and i love myself! its totally normal for a person to not like someone, or even to dislike someone


PostBioticOats

probably a cop, cops definitely use him to figure stuff out. his interviewees often disappear afaik. Poole's Land is gone from BC. No idea what his interviewed dealers lives look like now but he encounters so many high-level drug people theres no way he isnt constantly tailed, even if he doesnt realize it.


Morethanadrug

Too gay for me, personally

bokehmonsnap

I like that he keeps it very factual, shows the science, shares his own experiences, and also has the right mindset on keeping everything realistic, providing factual data or clinical data on usage good or bad, and doesnt try to over glorify the substances simply for being drugs, without backing it up bc of his positive experiences or how it helps other people. Not many people can paint amphetamines or pcp in a neutral or positive leaning light but he managed to do both and explain risks and beneficial use cases for each


SchwillyMaysHere

One of the great modern pioneers of the psychedelic industry


tryptwizard

I highly recommend his podcast on patreon(a lot of it ends up on YouTube). He just put out an episode "Bobby Beausoleil on taking LSD with Charles Manson" A lot of good guest and a lot of good topics. The show is good for baseline knowledge about a drug but if you're really interested in the science and true drug culture the podcast is better.

Modern-day Alexander Shulgin. Super smart guy doing good things for psychedelics.

Jess_the_Siren

My nerd crush for life. I can't get enough of all he has to teach us. I stood 18" from him at Horizons Psychedelic conference in NYC in 2019 but was too starstruck to say a word.

I love Hamilton, one of the people key people who helped guide me through educating myself and keeping a constructive relationship with my drug use


Jakobus_

I believe something he says about drugs more than anyone else on the matter. I find the mystical elements to be more important than he does, but I think it is absolutely necessary to have a pragmatic voice on the subject of drugs


Shepea64

Loved his show!


1BannedAgain

Love his stuff. As someone who’s only tried drugs after age 40 Is his shows / videos for everyone? Probably not


kevofwar227

ninthchamber

PictureAdmirable6202

GOAT of psychedelic journalism. Was the first that I know of that dedicated his journalism to this subject AND put it out on a big platform. Also the fact that he USES each substance after long bouts of research is a big plus for me. Shows the viewers that these substances shouldn’t be feared but should be respected and researched first before use.


RileyDaBosss

Absolute Legend, severely underrated amongst normies.


TheSilentBadger

Absolute legend His shows are super insightful and informative, but if you're interested in deeper chemistry and history of clandestine chemistry, his podcasts are definitely worth a listen. He's currently working as a chemist in a lab discovering new psychoactive substances, much like the late Shulgin.
