Hamilton Morris is a young documentarian with a background in chemistry and botany and a great interest in psychoactive drugs and plants. Each episode covers a different one. He usually covers some of the history including people who are proponents of the various drugs. Psilocybin, MDMA, Sonoran toads, Phenecycledine, Ketamine etc...On most episodes he self doses and reports his reaction as well. There was a huge negative governmental and cultural reaction to this whole category of drugs in the Sixties and Seventies. Recently some of these got a second chance and are being researched medically and scientifically. Cancer and end of life patients are being treated with some of these to deal with the challenges of life threatening disease or end of life. I have consumed many of these mostly 30-40 years ago. I think he shines a much needed light on this topic in a very interesting way. By the way the drugs that are on the more dangerous side they are really good about warning people to have some guidance.
