Loved this show!
I hope Hamilton keeps making more seasons on it. Finished the whole 3 seasons and it was truly amazing. Psychedelics are so stigmatized in our society and we need to break it by giving them more awareness of its benefits and amazing possibilities it offer.
The best Series covering Drugs of All time!
If you are interested in the broad subject of drugs this show has everything that to make learing about them fun and informative.
Great editing, humor, thrilling storylines, exotic exursion, rigorous research, whacky anecdotes that you can tell your firends, you name it.
Hamiolton is presenting balanced and critical comentary trough an scientific and evidence based Lens, while also letting the interviewed speak for themselfs, without any filters or propagateing any agenda except to understand the subject at hand.
Truly a masterfull work have never seen something close to this, I hope he decides to produce a fourth season even tough he said he wouldn't.

Tears of Joy
The DMT episode legitimately made me cry tears of joy watching the ceremony.
Brilliant
Very well done non-biased documentaries about drugs. I absolutely love Hamilton Morris!
This is a must watch especially since most people have consumed anti-drug propaganda their whole lives and don't have an accurate understanding of them or the culture around them.

Best show on Vice
I have been a big fan of Hamiltons fathers documentaries for a long time. Errol Morris has been creating some of the most fascinating American documentaries since the late 70's. So, I was very happy when I found out his son Hamilton, was carrying on the family tradition.
These episodes are not only about the drugs and their effects on the body, but the cultures in which they are used. He goes to great extents, traveling internationally, to cover his substance and its roots in human culture in detail.
Each season seems to get a little better production quality wise, as he continues to track down the forefathers of the users of these substances, and interviews some really interesting individuals in the history of science, psychedelia and such like.
Then there is the production of the drugs side of things, where he meets chemists from various backgrounds, and breaks down in detail how they make the drugs. Some of them are high level chemists working on cutting edge research, too the undergound hippy or criminal org's, producing for the black market.
The series have all the hallmarks of quality documentary film making. You will be hard pushed to find anything else better researched, or as informative on the subject.
