I like Hamilton's Pharmacopia a bunch, but yeah he should have done his homework more with the one guy who said he was spraying toad venom onto cigarettes, that guy was full of shit. But the last guy he interviewed in the new episode seemed pretty legit, and the fact that they still had copies of the original artwork was also pretty convincing. Any journalist is going to make mistakes, at least he is interested in correcting them.

As Ken kesey said pretty much, every man should have the right to be as big as he wish, if he wants to talk like that let him talk like a fucking professional talker. I think he's pretty good at interviewing, in that he doesn't tend to guide his interviewees too much, let's them say what they want. Could he interview better people..? Like who? How many other journalist do you know have acknowledged theyve made a mistake publicly? Or generated new media on their mistake specifically? I'm not going to defend the people in the new video and say it's real or fake, those people seemed fairly legit too me, and even if they weren't as big of trend setters as they said, they still played a huge roll it seems. Stories tend to get stretched and thinned, all as time goes on, you ever play telephone? Personally I think it's an unnecessary topic and maybe I need to watch it again ha, but what's the point of finding out who made that pamphlet? Why should we care about these potential, hypothetical "toad founders" anyway. I don't think these guys are comparable to Hoffman or Shulgin, even if they did everything they said. Maybe if they would have been the first to synthesize 5meo, but besides it seeming to me like a cute little revenge for hamilton's first episode, all this guy did was squirt toads and write about it. It would be interesting to actually see a copy of this book. And I think that when he found the artist lady, I believe that. These guys aren't claiming much. If anything it's an easy victory for hamilton's I think. Hopefully lol.
And that dude trying not to cry, could be very similar to even cannabis workers. You could be living your dream, then the feds come in and take everything from you. And he at least has a criminal background to prove it. And there didn't used to be a stigma on meth back then like today. People are just now understanding how detrimental addictive drugs are, don't hold that against them too hard.
Maybe you should have watched it all if you "only caught snippets" but decide to make a comment regarding the full episode...?
Maybe you should give it another try, or just watch it all.
Don't think he's getting duped. He's definitely not like most of us, but he's down and trying I think.

I have not seen the latest episodes but he reminds me of drug nerds I met over the years and myself. The show might not be too reliable for good info, but I find it entertaining and interesting. Kind of like Carlos Castaneda in that way. The strength is in the storytelling.

I haven't seen his show, but I've listened to a handful of podcasts and talks he's done. From what I've heard he's well-spoken, and pretty spot on with his pharmacology and drug knowledge. In the niche drug areas that I know, he is knowledgeable and has a breadth of knowledge that is impressive. I guess I can say I'm a fan of him, but should watch the show.

I highly recommend watching it. One of the best shows on Psychedelics ever made, in my semi-humble opinion

The only times I find him pretentious is when he starts talking about the chemistry, it annoys me quite a bit.
But I think he deserves a lot of praise for the new Toad episode. He acknowledged his own mistakes from previous episodes; righted a great wrong by finding the right guy to give credit to; he stood up for animal rights; slapped those conference hippies with some knowledge (made them look like hypocrites too, in my opinion) and was able to hold his ground remarkably well when they put him under scrutiny, I bet he wishes he had the Toad PTSD suggestion when they started asking about Toad Souls in the venom.
I don't know of anyone else doing high quality drug journalism in the same way as he is, and he digs up some incredible stories.
I wish he asked the people more about the tunnels in the military base, there's rumors of tunnels in a farmers field near where I live, if I was a billionaire I'd love to buy his field and go digging.

He is at times inaccurate on the chemistry and at other times inaccurate on chemical its doses and effects. I don't know who advises him but he should get a toxicologist on his team. Other than that pretty fun watch.

There was always rumors of underground cities that were under military bases in case of nuclear war and where army personnel would live.
Hamilton had another web series (of the same name) before he did this series. One episode was on LSD being made in a former missile silo.
So I'd say if you went digging around those military bases, at worst you'd find officers underground quarters/command centre. At best, you'd find rooms filled with testing equipment/documents/mysteries.
