“Brief history”
*40 minutes*
Never change Mr Morris
boxer history
long john history
40 minutes is quite brief in comparison to a single lifetime!
I get the feeling 50 years from now people will be saying the name Hamilton Morris in the same breath as Alexander Shulgin and Albert Hoffman.
Technically brief compared to decades
For all the people who claim the venom is subjectively different from the synthetic: why not test it? Collect a large sample of venom, homogenize it, determine its level of 5-meo-dmt, then randomize a large group to receive equal doses of one or the other in a double blind fashion and see what, if any, qualitative differences there are. If you do that, I'm sure the effect will be either extremely small and non-essential, or nonexistent altogether.
Better yet, synthesize the minor constituents and create blends, and test blends against 5-MeO-DMT by itself, and set up a double-blind test, but use the same volunteers and randomize the blend and the pure, so that each volunteer has one trial with each.
I totally agree with what you're saying here too!
I've got an environmental science background so hearing the talk here; there needs to be ecological specialists involved to do special geostatistical analysis on the Bufo Alvarez toad. In Australia we have a plagues of Bufu Marinas everywhere, so we should be extracting it from our pest plagues and exporting it not just to China (China only synthesis it because the Bufo strain/species is highly affected by the impacts of heavy metals in China)
What most people want to know, is there any species of Bufo that contain toxic compounds within their venom that shouldn't be smoked?
Are the records any Bufo species that should NOT be harvested for their 5-MEO?
Would homogenisation aka "free basing" the pure 5-MEO from the Bufo venom be considered the safest way of consuming it in isolation?
With my science background and specificity in biological and ecological sustainably, it makes sense to do my country a service by contributing to the removal of a pest (put them in the freezer after milking) whilst also harvesting product!
It could be a win win for situation for Aussies
💯
Happy to volunteer for this experiment
@@Jarmezrocks I think you're a bit confused mate, Bufo marinus (cane toads) don't produce 5-MeO-DMT in their venom - according to the literature atleast. They do produce small amounts of bufotenin (5-HO-DMT) however, but then again so do Anadenanthera plants which grow quite well in Australia and aren't a plague on our ecosystem.
While it might seem like a noble cause, cane toads wreak havoc on our native flora and fauna and as such should be disposed of on site; never translocated and milked (which I imagine would yield a less than desirable product anyway). The sheer cost and ecological risk involved in such an operation to obtain quite a niche product which is likely illegal when isolated is just not worth it.
Look into Yopo seeds (Anadenanthera peregrina), these are the easiest way to consume/obtain bufotenin. Safe travels mate!
Hi, I was a conservation biology major in my undergrad, and I am currently in a graduate program for environmental policy administration. This level of candor in communicating conservation topics like habitat destruction and fragmentation, pollution, climate change effects, and over-harvesting is frankly inspiring. There is nothing spiritual or respectful about over-exploitation, people, no matter how well-proportioned the chemical cocktail may be!
Very much so
A great successor to Terence and Alexander, wise beyond your years
I feel the same, he's doing a hell of a lot of work.
As Terence famously said, the Internet made sure that he himself was the last „harlequin“ of the psychedelic scene after Timothy Leary. The amount of connection and exchange of information made these figureheads superfluous.
Apart from that, Hamilton is a journalist making good documentaries and talking about important topics, that‘s very different from setting the groundwork for Psilocybe cultivation, let alone the discovery of hundreds of novel psychedelic substances.
Alexander who?
Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin. Discoverer, researcher, and designer of many, many psychoactive compounds. A man with a brain and a heart, to research and fall in love with.
@@JBrooksNYS j
thank you for everything you do Hamilton.
As joe said, please don’t leave youtube completely. People are staving for the information you share and how you share it. I appreciate all your hard work for what it’s worth. You have opened eyes and ears, thank you!

Us government: “this has no medicinal value”
Hamilton Morris: “Science”
Yeah if this doesn't, no other anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds should fall into that category....which is obviously absurd, as is seeing this and similar substances as having "no medical value"....bunch of bull...
Us government: "but use our drugs"
@@wepsar By use OUR drugs, that really means to use the drugs of the big pharma companies that have made donations(legal bribes) to elected officials who then can look the other way at any negatives towards the drugs and allow them for sale.
these can't be used as weapons , right?
Medicinal value means money. Cant put a patent on a natural substance only synthetic ones
I am so excited for this. You’re the best Hamilton, and I hope you can continue to do your amazing work
If I were rich Hamilton Morris would be the first person I would bank roll.
@Art Chave yeah right bitch! Hamilton Morris is the best fuckin' Hamilton.
@Art Chave 😂😂that’s how I read the comment too “the best Hamilton” not “you are the best, Hamilton”
@Art Chave I would love to meet him! And I second guessed myself with that fucking comma, I should have known
No! Hamilton island, just off the East coast of Australia is the best Hamilton, or so I heard.
Follow Hamilton on patreon
I'm on this 100%
good advice, i might.
course he liked this one😂😂😂😂😂
Oh shit good call I'm doing it now
You're doing the lords work Hamilton. We need more advocates like yourself.
The criminalization of recreational drug use ruins lives and needs to stop. I say this as someone who has lost friends and suffered addiction myself. Ultimately its prohibition that is the problem.
if children did not exist I would say all recreational drug use would be legal, anything and everything but because some adults abuse it or don't use proper discretion it influences teenagers which influence the younger th-cam.com/video/VUnvYWRjX08/w-d-xo.html most parents would be against giving their offspring psychedelics but I don't doubt it's been done ritualistically in ancient times as well as now, we're so stigmatic towards psychedelics that we have no real way of integrating into our society/culture we kind of just need to step aside and get out of the way but instead choose to trip over our own feet
@kemicbi when I was 12 kids were using this stuff lol had a friend OD on opiates when I was 13 lol prohibition doesn't do shit
Hey Hamilton just wanted to say thank you so much for your dedication and all the knowledge that you share. Thank you so much for stressing dosage, a subject that is never brought up when a drug is demonized
the madlad strikes again! Thank you hamilton for protecting my interest for chemistry amidst my crushingly unstimulating online uni classes
We need another season of Hamilton's Pharmacopoeia!!
Season 3 is out !
It’s over also
He said season 3 is his final season and now it's time for chemistry
@@Regal_Civic ^this
like seriously people did you even watch season 3? dudes been grinding
@@Regal_Civic So follow him on socials, eh?
Hamilton, I just wanted to say thanks for your uploads. You have changed my views entirely on drugs and I tell everyone I can to watch your show. You the GOAT
One of the greatest ambassadors for chemistry I’ve ever seen. Hamilton’s positivity is wonderfully infectious and you can just hear the love for the science when he speaks, fantastic.
He's the man. I love how much more confident hes gotten over the years.
Hamilton Morris deserves MORE SUBSCRIBERS on TH-cam for all his hard brave work & information he shares to everyone. Let's help this wonderful man!!
I love how open you are about your mistakes. This is what science is all about! Sad how corporatized it's become, but watching you makes me know that it's not dead and that the roots are coming back of proper science
Three years and I keep coming back to this video, such good content.
Massively respect everything hamilton morris has done and is doing for such a difficult but important type of science.
Props to all the drug conference Q&A moderators out there doing a hard job
A question is short, ends in an upward inflection, and is NOT a trip report! 😂
All the pronunciations alone
Props to the crowd for remaining silent when he said "The scrotum frog from tittykaka"
I was already blown away by the editing of this entire season, knowing now how cheeky and cleverly this was used like a piece of clay molded into the episode perfectly executed as a Key story telling asset. This entire season is a beautiful piece of art, Thank You Hamilton. May you be blessed with pupu plater of the finest artesian drugs....oh wait that's Eric Andre's Wish my apologies.
Hamilton is going to teach the world how to make this at home, and I can't wait
Me either damn I need that info. 🤯
He has already, a few times I believe.
@@Wildest_Wahoo plant based extraction or synthesis that can be done at home? Care to share a link and some knowledge?
There's a synthesis that he did in Mexico here on his channel. It's pretty basic stuff.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 I think I need more in depth description of each process, having never been in a lab I would hate to see what would come out following that rushed explanation.
Excellent presentation. Been following your work since I was a teenager and it has inspired me into becoming a research pharmacist. Always have to do another deep dive into your content and wacky stuff like it every once in a while to reignite my passion to self-learn and follow thru on all my college classes. Mad respect Hamilton. Much love from Vice City MIA
@VETSPORES ON INSTAGRAM smells like shit and I don't care

“tHe sPiRiT oF tHe ToAd”
I hate hippies. It’s that kind of ignorance that destroys innocent animals well being. Thank you Hamilton, for raising awareness.
😂😂
I love the fact that he is saying “hey I made mistakes and I’m here to correct it” as many people wouldn’t care about the people enough to readdress the issues. Props to you man! I love your content and have been for the past 5+ years
Hamilton is now the universal psyconaut shaping the future for everyone and everything. Even this endangered toad. I think Dr Shulgin would be proud of this work and new level. Decriminalization is key, end the failed War on drugs.
Researcher and *not even* psychonaut, which is a whole other kind of impressive
@@Sokofeather i would say he is a psychonaut, he has tried hundreds of substances and most psychedelics
You're right - I was thinking Brian Mureresku
Thank you! For all your work! I have received my 5MEO Biosynthesis Tshirt and the new print edition of The pamphlet!!!

bro oh my god he has so many patrons... if everyone was paying the 5$ option alone he would be making 14,295 a month. If half paid the 5$ and the other half paid the 10$ he would have 21,442 a month... wow... that’s amazing... and you know damn well people are paying the 25$ one as well... so if you divide it up as all of them as 1/3 that’s 953 people per each one, 5$, 10$, 25$. If everyone was equally divided between the three choices like that, he would be netting 38,120 a month... that is fucking amazing!!! He fuckin deserves it. And don’t think cause he’s making a lot he doesn’t need anymore donations, that’s not the case. The more heavily he is funded the more he can do and the farther he can reach to conduct research!!! Keep donating people!!!

It's amazing what someone (especially someone as intelligent, resolute, and principled as Hamilton Morris) can do when their livelihood isn't dependant on appeasing advertisers or corporations.
Hamilton good god you did a good job with the crowd. You answered their questions like a champion even when they became ridiculous.
👏
Awesome presentation! I'm so glad there is someone so scientifically minded at the forefront of this community. Its a shame so many of the old hippy types seem to be so afraid of the word "synthetic".
Mr. Morris I love your work. You are such an Inspiration to me as an amature chemist and very severely obsessed with psychoactive substances. Between you and mr and Mrs shulgin my life has improved drastically
So glad you have a hamilton specific channel 🙌🏻
Hey Hamilton, I'm currently a cell and molecular biology major with an interest in neuroscience and degenerative disease and I just have to say that your content is absolutely fascinating. I have no plan to do illicit drugs myself, but I just love your content because of how you intersect your chemistry knowledge with your knack for telling stories, but also that you consider important factors such as ecology, conservation, and safety. That is all, I hope you're having a good day!
Also as a little addendum, I have no idea how you handle situations like someone asking you if you can "synthesize toad spirit" so gracefully.
30:06 I know old man means well but people like him aren’t the representatives (because i know that’s what he thinks he is) these medicines need. Same as the guy who asked the salts question before hand.
That’s the thing with it all being so young in mainstream, anyone can go to any of these conferences and brush shoulders with the real researchers.
Hard to explain what I’m saying.. but Hamilton keep up the great work
If he's not the representative, then who is? We all are. Nobody gets to exclude someone and include themselves. There are older people in the psychedelic community we can learn from, and we should be learning from, to build upon for the future as the younger generations gain their footing
I dig what you're saying, but as soon as the psychedelic community becomes a "members only" club, it's the beginning of the end. We are already beginning to become cornered against big pharma trying to patent psychedelics, we must stick together and find a way to listen to each other rather than divide ourselves. I agree though, he was a little unfocused for a scientific conference. ☮️💟🍄
@@InfamousMedia no one is excluded, some people are just better suited for public speaking than others.. the old guy can still do his part.
Take a hospital for example, a nurse does not do the heart surgeons job, but they still are at the same place helping doing their part.
This guy is so annoying
Everybody's trying to be somebody
You are a legend. Your work is very helpful and inspirational. Stay high brother.
Love when I see Hamilton post!
This community is absolutely amazing and is re-enforced--in my mind--when Mr. Morris was *applauded* when he acknowledged his mistakes. I love it
Thank you Hamilton for doing good work using a scientific mindset over spiritual woo.
Exactly so. There's a post several posts up predicting "new spiritual renaissance"... Yeah, right... how about Homo Sapiens evolving beyond all the useless mystical bullshit and finally embracing the Universe as it exists?
I love the vibe in the room, chill, excited and togetherness all at once.
Hamilton is amazing I love your work don’t stop
Hamilton you’re a counter culture hero . Knowledge is power and you’ve empowered me .
I would be so lost if it wasnt for Hamilton's work
Thank you for sharing this. That makes me want to look at his work more. Peace
@Jonathan Eudy I know how to make dmt
@Jonathan Eudy who cares if I'm lost if I dont feel the need to find anything
@Jonathan Eudy that's a wierd statement to make from a man who knows nothing about me
im happy for you @doomstar9093 i know what you mean don't listen to these negative commenters
So happy Hamilton Morris is right at the forefront of making informational and entertaining content about these substances that have proved to be so important to human evolution and development.
Big things are coming in the next 10 years! Thank you Hamilton 🙏
Hamilton is looking really healthier than ever, so happy for the guy
Why shouldn’t he look healthy?
Why enlighten me has he had problems in the past
Just look at some of the older vice videos with Hamilton. He looked super unhealthy. He was a mess and I'm so happy he's healthy now. Mens sana in corpore sano!
Give it up for holding yourself accountable and correcting and clearing up any mistakes .
"So 5-meo-dmt is a salt of dmt?" That made my eyes roll so hard they went into the back of my head
You'd think people at a conference about a specific drug might have some sort of knowledge of it
Frustrating watching people ask questions he has answered
@@friedrichvonsnatch3501 worst part is that he answers the question about what a salt is so precisely and he just didn't even listen
Prob though dmt was freebase and 5 meo dmt was hcl/ salt.
I think we (if I may be so bold) who have some minimal understanding of chemistry can easily forget that the vast, vast majority of people have no context for the word salt beyond the table variety. Conferences like this don't exactly check your diploma at the door. Add to that the likelihood that the question askers are self-selected to be the most self-assured and you have a recipe for face-palms.
Amazing as always
Man, seeing seemingly spiritual people believing that the toads soul somehow inhabits the dmt extracted and not willing to synthesise it. despite the negative effects it has on the species hit hard.
This is brilliant work, Hamilton. I am not only impressed but inspired. You do not need grant funding from some stupid corporation or university to do impactful or excellent scientific research. Thank you for expanding the field of psychedelics on so many levels.
Isve gotta say i really disagree with the guy saying people should keep their research/info/use of it off the internet bc that lead to prohibition before. Tons of substances go through a stage of being brought to public awareness and then getting outlawed, imo it doesnt then do any good to try to shove things back in the closet, you have to bring it to more awareness, and make it clear to the public that it is not dangerous and has benefits and people will do it regardless of legal status to highlight that the policies surrounding it are just part of a dumb drug war
To call a war where you spend ridiculous amounts of public money expanding government while simultaneously importing more drugs than anyone else "dumb" doesn't really hit the mark.. Its like this "pandemic" a stroke of genius more like. (by those who would reshape the world)
@@unicorntelecoms4387 Might wanna go a little easier on the 5-MeO-DMT my friend.
Geesuz. After hearing the questions from the audience, I'm so glad you did this.
Hamilton should start his own company of Journalists !!!
He can pitch it to Joe Rogan who is always talking about wanting objective journalism.
@@Hashishin13 I’d pay for that.
Happy to see this uploaded, I wish I sat in on this talk when I saw the episode
TH-cam teaches me more than school ever has
The main purpose of school is to make you think you are a worthless idiot who needs the government to control your life
School teaches you math and writing and reading. After that thats all school can teach you(and chem/auto mechanic whatever your into). But yes your right.
School is about teaching people HOW to learn things. I think people tend to underestimate schools.
@@JensiT1 A lot of people don't realize that school is just a primer. Of course this kind of material is interesting and you won't learn about it in Highschool or grade school, but you'll never learn about it to the extent of Hamilton without understanding a basic Highschool chemistry curriculum first.
@@lumiii_- Exactly
So nice to have some new Hamilton Morris content. I listened to literally every podcast and TH-cam video last summer until I ran out

That’s a really common occurrence with 5-MeO I wonder if it’s a dosage issue.

Hello from Australia
Giv it up for being thoughtful enough to address said mistakes my psychonaut friend,it goes along way and I have enjoyed your docs on substances that in my day we were "jump in and hope to get thru" on many of the treats we discovered at home and went journeying to find an experience.the fact that u brought the chemistry and molecular studies to what we always guess and longed to know(I'm from New Zealand btw) I really thank you for shedding light and bringing out these wonderful magical compounds to this new tech platform or I like to remember as info super highway dufsufduf😀😂😝.thanks Hamo

Perfect timing! Now I can watch two 40 minute videos about the same drug
Can't help but Wonder how the recent weather has affected the toads
Pretty sure it has not affected them at all since they are underground until May-September.
Mr. Morris. I love all your work. Thank you so much for your knowledge!

Thanx for uploading this whole talk, I wanted to hear it unedited and unadulterated by the vice series, nobody ever knows what important things end up on the cutting room floor.
It would be so fun if he went back on JRE and all they do in a 3 hour podcast is talk about DMT
Hamilton Morris you're the best man keep informing people someday the world will change
It makes me sad that these maniacs want to hurt a toad than smoke a synthetic load.

@@jonnytheboy7338 Kapeesh.
@@jonnytheboy7338 But toads have extreme short-term memory... 2-minutes later and the toad totally forgot it was getting 'probed' :/
Maybe better to do a test on dozens of toads, attach some leads to all the toads and some get squeezed for their venom and other's do not, to confirm if their is any differences detected. If the squeezed toads display signs of PTSD, then start dosing the toads with medication post-squeeze to check for proper treatment so toads can continue to be squeezed without negative toad-effects.
Thinking more about this, maybe if the toads are fearing for their lives, they may produce a variation of their venom causing some adrenochrome drug-effect ?? SO MUCH MORE RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!
Excellent talk, learned a lot. Thanks Hamilton
