2025-09-10 11:53:50 +0000 UTCHey guys. So if you follow Hamilton Morris on Patreon as well, he just released an episode where he talks in the beginning about this interview being take down. Hamilton says he asked Andrew to take it down so he could review all the facts first and once he says everythingâs good channel five will put it back up.

Sandro Did Nothing Wrong
2025-08-28 09:14:21 +0000 UTCHey Andrew, could you re-upload the full version of this on Patreon and not on Youtube? Would be nice to continue to have uncensored uploads on Patreon different than the Youtube ones when you need to do limited edits! By doing two uploads if necessary, I don't mind!

clio varosy
2025-08-26 13:16:06 +0000 UTCFor the sake of Channel5's mounting legal bill let's agree this never was a 5Cast, just a shared hallucination compliments of HPPD. Who is Hamilton Morris? What even is a Psymposia?!
DW

Mistrophy
2025-08-26 05:55:18 +0000 UTCThis was really illuminating stuff and I hate that there's not more we can do directly to hep fight for the MDMA legalization. But I do love Hamilton Morris and had no idea he was still creating on Patreon so I'm gonna go sign up for that immediately. Anyway great stuff as always - this is the only real news left in the real world and I'm super grateful for what yall do.
K.C. Simonsen
2025-08-26 01:56:05 +0000 UTCCan you invite Psymposia folks on a future 5Cast? Hamilton seems to have them dead to rights, but I'd still be curious to hear their take/response.
DW
2025-08-26 00:53:19 +0000 UTCWish you asked him what he thought about Joe Rogan recently
Jonathan Zenou
2025-08-26 00:43:23 +0000 UTCas someone who dropped out of college studying journalism. i needed to hear this. you both inspire me endlessly! thank you!
leila
2025-08-25 20:57:14 +0000 UTCAwesome cast! Been a fan of Hamilton for a long while. This was refreshing and informative.. gonna take a bit to process as you said. Subscribed to their patreon :)

Carlos Soto-Ricci
2025-08-25 16:37:02 +0000 UTCThe craziest psychedelic ive done till now was DOB, i stumbled upon it because LSD was so expensive where i lived and i was so young and stupid back then i started looking through the DarkWeb for stronger psychedelics. I can't say i recommend it though because it just lasts so fuckin long it gets really exhausting.
Oscar Leitner
2025-08-25 15:46:58 +0000 UTCHell yes, Hoffman, Leary, and Ram Dass were my favorite folks in the psychedelic space. I worked in the ketamine therapy field for a while, it was amazing. I miss it. I saw some amazing changes in people!
Trev
2025-08-25 15:25:57 +0000 UTCI'm also a subscriber of just Channel 5 and Hamilton's parteons, seems to be a genuine intersection of interests. You're both precious truth tellers seems to me

Heather
2025-08-24 21:24:23 +0000 UTCAndrew you should probably do iboga. It has less visual symptoms & it has interessting effects on neurological conditions. With hppd, it would be very interessting to see if it has a positive effect. I am sure it has no negative effect. Check out Levi Barker in costa rica if you are shy of going to gabon for it, if you wanna go to gabon, check out TataYo from ebando.

2025-08-24 21:09:09 +0000 UTCMY DREAM COLLAB!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY FUCK I"VE ACTUALLY BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THIS SHIT FOR FIVE YEARS WHAT THE FUCK
Shawhin Layeghi
2025-08-24 19:09:59 +0000 UTCThis is so depressing. Just starting my PhD in Clinical Psychology in Oregon. Iâm hoping I can learn to speak to the heart of the manipulation and misunderstanding around psychedelic medicine. There is so much bullshit to cut through and it is so confusing. Grateful to both of you for putting yourself on the line to speak out and spread the word.
Luke Christensen
2025-08-24 18:45:09 +0000 UTCI hated Psymposia when I went back in 2018. Hamilton and Duncan Trussel were guest speakers, and the entire event was so far from the professional setting that the Horizons perspectives on psychedelics conference, which presented the actual studies to colleagues, it made me feel like it was controlled opposition. Not that I was convinced, but it was a paranoid experience I had looking at the cameras broadcasting the crowd of stoners and drug users, everyone high out of their minds, as the representation of such valuable research. The horizons conference should have been broadcasted and recorded, not that bullshit. It was a joke. Only good parts of Psymposia were Hamilton and Duncan.
