I love Garys genuine interest in it,like wanting to find out stuff he never got the inside info on when he was a cop,just a genuinely lnterested guy,and a nice bloke,ive followed his career as he was a gun Copper,even if people hate him,he does everything to the best of his ability and i like that about him.Look at the William Tyrell case,he was the man,but got disillusioned by politics in the Police Force.
Great Guy.❤
Andrew is a Genius so many fantastic business ideas,likeable and smart,can be a dangerous combination
Love this interview love the dog pizza from doglaw lawyer
That's insane, murderers getting off with lighter sentences!
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s so hard to source here
Biggest bs I've ever heard
Always the common denominator,"my brain wasnt working right" ITS ALWAYS THE UNCLE DOUGS
Amazing video , thank you for speaking your truth and for talking about the evilness of pokies
Andrew is a genuine nice guy. And I hope, that he can profit off the regulations regarding mushrooms. He inverted a process to dry them and dose them exactly. This must have some value to a medicinal use. Also there are huge markups. No need to be criminal anymore. I wow for him to become an entrepreneur and making millions.
Australian govt has always and will be 15 years behind. We are a smart country with dumb governments
Yeah our gov is really behind. Look how much more sophisticated and rich the illegal drug business has become. When will our gov learn their approach isn’t working and we might and it needs to be properly regulated instead.
crazyyy did CS with this guy, small world
No one muscles in because he was smart and saw a market that others didn't or didn't understand,really even now Mushies are not on druggies radar,it must be niche im sure but cudos to him found a great market and blew it up financially,good for him,far worse drug dealers out there,i like him and i would trust him from my years of people experience,good guy
It's wild to me that things like mushrooms or marijuana are illegal anywhere.
Every one thinks they will never get caught and the reality is you will never get away with it forever.
Addiction is why,wether its coke,ice,mushies,gambling,its a personality trait,a propensity for any Addiction,doesnt matter what it is.
Growing up in Perth WA, I never realised pokies where around until going interstate.
You don’t have them in Perth?
Blew me away when I was in Cairns all the pokies. Only good thing our govt have done and continue to do is Keep Pokies out of WA
@@LK-em1bvNa man we are Pokie free other than at a casino
Mushrooms are the best 👌 can't wait till it rains again
What about Blue meanies,he talked about gold tops,what's the difference? Never had em
Coke is okay if you can do a few lines every now & again but when your addicted it’s the worst thing ever!
I could say the same with any drug bro there will always be some people who can control it and some who can’t
cope
The drug prices in AUS are insane. You couldn’t do 10k worth of coke in a week here in the U.S.
Well the conversion rate makes it $6600 usd
How the world will change in the next 10-30 years with all the info we have now,HOPEFULLY
Dog Pizzas.. thats how we know he is good people.
Poker machines operate on the principle of partial reinforcement where repetitive behavior is rewarded intermittently. This pattern of reward has been shown in animal studies (like with rats) to be extremely effective in ensuring that the required response can be elicited with a very sparse reward history. This fits the pattern of how poker machines operate. You press the button many times and get a some cash reward very occasionally delivered randomly. Poker machine manufacturers rely on this behavior paradigm and, of course, it works.
Great interview and great honest bloke. All drugs need to be legalised.
OH YEAH LEGALIISE ICE,THATS A GREAT IDEA,COME ON GET REAL.
Flog
I feel confused
Jubelin saying you are a drug dealer mushrooms are legal now common bud your perspective is
Comedy from pathos way to go
Jubelin thank the coppers for stopping him from his lifestyle 🤦♂️🥳😤😘😩
We went to school together
Adhd…I’m guessing
Would you like mushrooms on your pizza?
Ummm sure!

Micro doses are perfect if you have any trauma that holds you back from living life
Yes as a medicine, professionally trialled and tested over years before being prescribed to patients who actually need it.....
Sorry, 24:28 Gary Andrew has the right last name. Hamilton, that is. I was one once myself. Sounds like he has come through a personal.
cyclone. ❤. 😂
Trying to justify these drugs are safe,but his ex has a psychotic episode and dobs him in....😂🤣 The irony.... How is he not in gaol still?
Which ex !?
@@elizaflawless7393 the one he mentioned
I bet this bloke still has dealings in this kind of business via 3rd party participants etc etc
I bet you get upset when neighbours have more bins than you
@@blackhand95 more bins then me? What drugs are you on?
Hey Champ how did you come up with the number 40.000 deals. Everytime you tell this story it Changes, in a previous interview you explained you discovered magic mushy from a rich North shore Buddy in this interview you discovered the magic Mushy's in Thialand, Hey Champ which is it. Also Buddy your Maths are incorrect, at the beginning of this interview you said you done over 40 thousand deals in 15 years, as the interview progressed you say that you were selling two thousand deals a week which adds up to 8 thousand a month = 96 thousand deals a year Champ you can't even fabricate a story. Mushroom King of Sydney you should of opened a stall at the Flemigton markets and sold your product by the kilo. Got some advice this ex cop turned pod cast interviewer has buttered you up and made you spill your guts plus the fabricated stories you added, watch out they could get you a new charges.Tell me something Champ why would you Brag about your story which is 90% fabricated and be proud like your a King pin. Here is some advice Champ the bussiness king pins who never let themselves be exposed and are always in the shadows and if by chance they get interviewed there answer is don't no anything what are you talking about, can I leave now thank you. But Champ your up there Singing like a little Canary in front of the world. Stop it Making a " " of yourself. Hey did the cops laugh when you pleaded with them that you wish to say BYE BYE to the dogs.
buy the Kilo. Champ that is the worst story I ever heard . Hey take this advice, this ex cop interviewer has Buttered you up to get you to spill your guts they could even get you on new chargers after this interview. Buddy provide a Doctor Certificate stating you were addicted to drugs and gambling.
