Does anyone else remember Hamilton’s first videos on Vice? All of the commenters were calling him a hippie degenerate and totally hating on him. Hamilton’s the man!

Sleeptank truuuu
When I was in college I took a class called "Death and Dying." We studied how different cultures reacted to death. We watched the Vice episode about Haitian zombies. Before it started my Professor prefaced it by saying, "Now, this is really interesting. But the journalist is a little... Off-putting." It was Hamilton Morris.
Rikki Kluber exactly!
U also see him in sulgans old vids in the crowd

Some of the books Hamilton mentions:
Neuropsychedelia: The Revival of Hallucinogen Research since the Decade of the Brain by Nicolas Langlitz
PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story by Alexander Shulgin
Pharmacotheon: Entheogenic Drugs, Their Plant Sources and History by Jonathan Ott
Authors he mentions with my best guesses at relevant works:
Shamanism & the Sacred Cactus: Ethnoarchaeological Evidence for San Pedro Use in Northern Peru by Douglas Sharon
LSD, Spirituality, and the Creative Process: Based on the Groundbreaking Research of Oscar Janiger, M.D. by Marlene Dobkin de Rios
Thank you for this. I couldn't remember all of them
Ty!
Hamilton has that gift of on the spot storytelling. Always a pleasure man. Much appreciated.

Hamilton “I’d try strychnine at a low dose” Morris
I mean, would you NOT?
Right as he said that I scrolled down and saw your comment
@@cannabinized that's pretty neat, I hope that gave you nice tingly feeling :)
It was used as a tonic in europe at low dose, and I guess gave people some springy muscles...
I honestly can't remember hearing Morris say anything that I found fake or didn't agree with. He's just got this incredibly sensible approach to the entire subject.
I agree. The guy above me is a dumbass.
One of the most intelligent discussions I’ve ever heard on psychedelics
Hamilton has the best voice ever
Agreed. Very ‘certain’, almost.
I sound very similar to him, and I was told the same thing.
For me he is a case like Terence McKenna where at first I hated it but now I love it
@@thaDjMauz Terence has one of the most recognizable voices out there.
How can such a skinny person have such a low voice
This is the best Hamilton Morris Podcast episode I have heard out of several, and the best Ferriss episode I have heard in terms of his genuine interest and great questions!
When I first watched Hamilton on Vice about 2 years ago I didn't really like him, but in the last 2 years I've learned to respect him and praise him for his work in Pharmacology.
Hamilton's voice is so hypnotic. I'd love to meet him and talk to him about pharmacology and chemistry. ♡
Watching Seinfeld after having a profound reconceptualization of life is one of the most Seinfeld things I can think of.
Hamilton inspires me to study organic chemistry. I love anything chemistry related.

Wicked bro! Can't get enough of life stories like this! =D

I've probably heard this a dozen times but you bet your ass I'm listening again
Did this man really just say "I'm gonna keep this intro short" five minutes into the video?
Yeah I was like really dude, you’re gonna keep it short after that essay of an ad read?
he is talking about the intro about Hamilton, not the ads.
@@furkanakcakaya9443 This. I don't see how people don't recognize or understand simple things like this... That type of unawareness is what ruins or prevents good things in the world.
@@DweeD1516 sorry for ruining the planet for u dog
Dear Tim Ferris, Thank you for this interview. I have a B.S. and M.S. in chemistry and found it fascinating. I had never heard of Alexander Shulgin and thought I knew the history of science very well. Take care-Paul
i listened to this whole thing, thoroughly engaging and educational. Big probs to Tim for giving his guest time and space to fully elaborate on their answers, most interviewers want to talk over their guests.
"...about this [clandestine] chemist who operated an MDMA lab in the middle of a volcano."
host SOMEHOW changes subject.
Ik I literally just commented something like this but more generally
The volcano chemist guy also made 2C-D and many other brilliant compounds. One of Shulgin's many profits. He also started the mostly MDMA lab well before these compounds were scheduled.
But that's ok because you can just go watch that episode with no spoilers from this podcast.

Great podcast, I hope more people get to know stuff on this subject
Fantastic content. It’s amazing how much psychedelics can help us.
“I’m sure you can torrent it as well” what a honest down to earth guy. I love Hamilton Morris and support all his work. He’s so important for drug education.
@Adams sure sounds scammy to me
@Adams I’m sure you have
Oh Hamilton, my fellow salvianeer I love you. Love you too Tim
Just before the interviewer explained about the birds in the background i thought id had some acid myself. I was like WTF have i sat up on youtube all night again!!
I love Hamilton, thank you for a great interview
The openings are so nice :)
I enjoy them every time i watch a episode
Great episode. Thank you.
That pharmacopeia opening animation is the dopest dope
Right?! I want to know who did all that!
... Tim Ferriss, thank you.... your discussions with Hamilton Morris are the most substantive psychedelic discussions you will find anywhere on the internet.

35:00 very interesting dialog as how we treat conscious experience. Also, This part of the talk absolutely opens up the vast expanse of chemical biology. . . . . it's infinite.
show yourselves please ,great interview!
Where is the list of books that were mentioned?
Big Willy, The two Alexander Shulgin books mentioned at the very beginning are titled “Pihkal” and “Tihkal.” These two books are priced fair and available on Amazon. “Organic Chemistry as a Second Language” is broken up in two different books. These run around 55$ each. Most of the hardcore chemistry synthesis can be understood with the first book as it covers the basics of reactions in organic chemistry.
Big Willy, Also, Nueropsychadelia by Nicolas Langlitz. This one is also very available.
Awesome interview.
there is now Vivitrol, a blocker of opioids. I would be curious Hamilton's opinion of that route
Listening to this podcast was close to a religious experience for me. And I kinda wanna try nicotine gum now..
Yo Courtney ✌ 🍄❤
Psilocybe Dreamin heyyyyyyyyy 🍄❤️
Cosmic Drugz is
Would love a talk between Hamilton and Jordan Peterson. Jordan has a lot of questions I suspect Hamilton might have some ideas about.
Sam Harris is much better to talk about psychedelics
great episode
What happened to the links you were going to put in the description?
@@tcorourke2007 you are awesome!
At 1:24:10 he said a fungus name, I am having difficulty understanding the name, and writing it, can someone tell me what fungus is it?
Dear sir or madam,
at the point in the interview which you provided in the timestamp, Mr Hamilton mentioned a "fungus" named "dictyonema huaorani", which, in actual fact, happens to not be a fungus at all, but a lichen! This lichen is known to contain some amount of 4-PO-DMT (psilocybin), and 5-MeO-DMT.
Be aware that it's inadvisable to attempt to harvest or ingest this lichen, as its consumtion can potentially lead to terrible confusion and mental suffering.
Have a wonderful day, and be very careful with anything containing 5-MeO-DMT.
What was the name of the book Hamilton says at 1:52:00? I can't seem to find anything.
Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story by Alexander Shulgin
Pihkal (phenethylamines) and Tihkal (Tryptamines):)
I wouldnt recommend watching bad trips on youtube before trying salvia. That's part of the reason hamilton said he enjoyed it; it was before this fear culture surrounding people overdosing on it. Yes, do your research on how to use the drug and dose, but god no dont watch bad trips on youtube...
my feelings exactly on datura. I smoke it daily btw
@@jonathancompost1379 Stop
pretty sure he chewed the raw leaf. smoking it is different
Always enlightening
Not enough people that do what Hamilton does bring up the point he makes a lot about people claiming someone's ayahuasca experience as "not valid" because they didn't go to S. America and have a "traditional" ceremony, or they made the brew themselves.
I had a small argument in the comments on another YT vid about this, he said that the shamen in those cultures have perfected the ceremony so they know how to best help people, I say, as someone from the mid-west U.S, where people are generally cynical about everything, that the ceremonies might be better for someone from that culture, but for westerners, an aya experience in a culturally appropriate setting would be more beneficial.
How does chanting in a different language, getting tobacco smoke + shit breath from a dude with BAD teeth blown on your face, or spending thousands of $ to get some brew that might not even be actual ayahuasca, there's been cases of "shamens" giving Iboga or Datura brews instead of aya, read abou toxicity and effects of those, both can kill you, why risk all that when it's pretty damn easy to make aya or "pharma"huasca at home, and really cheap too. Plus, you'll probably have a better, more RELEVANT experience for yourself.
William Cozart All drugs that you mentioned can kill you.
Lol, first of all, I did not name A SINGLE DRUG, stupid! Ayahuasca is a preparation of plants that contain numerous drugs, made into a brew that, if you tried to od by drinking too much, most likely you'd puke it upbefore it's absorbed.
Datura and tabernanthe iboga are PLANTS, that again, contain many active alkaloids, and are both FAR more dangerous than ayahuasca.
While aya is not as safe as vaporized dmt, it is still VERY safe, while a person CANNOT smoke enough dmt to kill ANYONE! They would not even have the ability to keep loading and lighting a pipe and inhaling.
There are almost no deaths associated with n,n,dmt in either form, vaped or aya brew, which also contains an maoi, which is also very safe.
There have been deaths associated, but VERY FEW, and almost all were due more to neglect by the "shaman" that they paid to take care of them while inebriated.
Before making broad, stupidly ignorant statements about the "deadliness" of drugs, why not google the LD 50 for them and google the statistics of deaths?
That is not even close to true. In central America, you have a VASTLY greater chance of being taken advantage of. People have died from neglectful shamans, and a lot of them give the wrong drug in the brew altogether, and THAT VERY THING has KILLED PEOPLE. Listen to Hamilton Morris, he is a big advocate for making the stuff YOURSELF.
It is not hard to make. Google it.
Agreed. Dr. Ben Sessa talks about this often, I love him. He makes the point that why does psychedelic therapy ”have to ” happen in a room with eastern mythology pictures, sitar music and insence sticks, he says his clients are tough, hurt people who have shaved heads and tattoos and like football and beer. He says the would run a mile if he started to talk about heart chakras!
… good stuff, thank you gentlemen - 🤙🏼🤘🏼🍄
Tim ferriss just feels so much more inauthentic like he asks a question and Hamilton goes in but the he says something else like he’s reading off a list of talking points whereas Hamilton’s jre is like a dance but hey I can’t speak either
Hamilton is the man
No one talks better about drugs than Hamilton
Hey Tim, where the list of recommended reading from Hamilton? Great cast!
@103 minutes in , had a laugh as Hamilton described his synthetic cannabinoid consumption, thinking been there done that... different molecular structure of course. Always titrate up when experimenting .Stay safe .
Brilliant, thank you sir for a very illuminating podcast! SUBBED👍

id love to be a test subject for Hamilton id love to take some compounds with this dude
Got excited, thought this was a new episode. Disappoint. Though this was a great interview would love to hear more of Hamilton
I will be interested to hear his opinion on microdosing in a nootropic sense
Endless Ambition he talked a bit about it in the Q&A at the end of his appearance on the Duncan trussell family hour.
I remember the purple sticky salvia days. We always bought it after a day in highschool. We did it as frequently as possible and it was terrifying each time I did it😂

You give some things I could not put words.
1:20:00 good conclusions, next step - we don’t need external chemicals - same conclusions observations are possible in drug free techniques and explorations
I thought you were going to give links to some of the books mentioned?
List of books?
starts at 7:00
I was also trying to recall what I hate for breakfast and type of bowl it was in and type of folk and I swear I don’t remember 🤨
What you do is, you don't eat breakfast. Then you don't have anything to remember. Also intermittent fasting is hella good for you :)

7:00 to skip the shilling
great interview
I remember first watching Hamilton years ago on Vice. And basically, I just didn't really know what to make of him! I wasn't sure if he was a pretentious hippie, and scientist, or an enthusiastic psychonaut!?! 🤔😁😃
I suppose his voice and mannerisms were the things that directly made me dislike him. Which says more about me really! 🤔🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😁
Thankfully, I quickly got over my prejudices! 😁 ✌🏼😉👍🏼
🤘🏼😘👌🏼
Haha he said "i'll skip the preamble" after five minutes of intro
5:27, I can still pretend you kept the intro short XD
I think I just realized what I want to do with my life
Go get it man!
WHICH IS????
@@Jaaaackjack DRUGS!
God help us
Love the Queens of the Stone Age reference lol
I was sad to hear Mark Lanegan died recently of covid. Good singer w QOTSA
Who is the creator or the intro music? It strongly reminds me of Sabrepulse. Love it
Who doesn’t know who Sasha Shulgin is?
Hey! Surfing on wild lettuce here. Lactuca virosa. You wanna go down another rabbit hole? Try this wild lettuce opium.
Really it hust made me really energetic and nervous when i tried it, kinda like having 5 coffees. But maybe thats not the normal effect it has on most people
I was unable to find the study Morris alluded to by "Josen Garts" (??) Anyone know the correct spelling?
I think it's Jochen Gartz, here are some of his papers. I'm not sure which one Hamilton was referencing though: www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/64245744_Jochen_Gartz
john li thank you friend
@@circularly Gah! I just found his name and spent an hour trying to find where I had left this (and my other comment). I wish I'd seen your comment earlier!
@@tcorourke2007 lol it happens to the best of us! I forgot all about this podcast, I remember it was a good one, should relisten! Cheers mate 👍
Title is DuPont’s old slogan. Fun fact!
Also Alexander Shulgin goes by Sasha...
Thats his wife
@aidan hurst Sasha is a nickname for Alex in Russian
yup should have learned more before i jumped in the deep end. had full blown ego death/kundalini awakening/enlightenment whatever you wanna call it & man. here we are 11 years later it was definitely destabilizing

What about 4- methylaminorex as a nootropic? I wanted to try it for a long time...can't find it
I'll refer you to and online store where I got my own psychedelics and microdosing stuff very good reliable vendor
He's on Instagrams also on Telegram with the below handle as...
Mycopete..
Hamilton seems he reads alot and so good at reciting it
I remember when I asked a "love and light" person wjho is heavily in to shamanism who was very much in to the school of thought that you HAVE to take certain plants in a very specific way and only with a shaman in the amazon jungle and got fairly angry when I asked where I could get it to take it at home.
They posted about it on their Facebook wall about how angry they are and never messaged me first again.
Well, there you go, that's your level of "enlightenment" if this is what gets you angry.
I don't have thousands of pounds to go to the Amazon to try this plant, I will NEVER get to try it otherwise. Maybe I will benefit from it, maybe I will find a medicinal use or psychological use for this. Also this plant would have never have been known to be beneficial if it weren't for people like me willing to try a very wide range of unusual and mysterious plants and chemicals.
Where do I get
Where are show notes?
Agreed. Im actually curious not just complaining to complain
