Reviews

techaiken Very informative and thought provoking. The overall theme seems to be: "These substances should be studied, not banned" after a few episodes, you can quickly see why these substances are banned. The episode on Frog venom, for instance, if the first two users in the episode, had been on that riverbank alone, meaning just the two of them smoking the venom, they both would be dead, the first from drowning and the second from asphyxiation on his own vomit. This show should be a hallmark on why not to use these substances, like the DMT Shaman who begins expanding on the pizza gate conspiracy theory , to now include cannibalism, or the Ketamine proponent who talked about being inhabited by an angel and turns into a Dolphin, you can quickly deduce why some of these substances have the opposite effect of "Medicinal". This show is not for impressionable easily led people. Almost none of the substances should be used without supervision, and that should be the warning stamp on the entire series, again informative and thought provoking, some science, but a lot of it borders on pseudoscience, and outright ridiculousness.

Valentin Estevez THis show has some episodes like the peyote and the salvia one that are so interesting has so much culture and data for all the family and friends Vice should brodacst this in their youtube channel it would be their most watched videos !! HAMILTON tell VICE to wake up and to spread the psychedelic message please keep them coming i never thought i would live to see something like this on tv.ps : the guy that rated with one star doesnt know what he is talking about he needs some love

escctrlshift This is a great series for any savvy student of entheogenic studies of any kind, especially if you're not brave enough to smoke toad venom, suck poison fish brains, or snort scary amounts of PCP yourself. You get to see Hamilton and others indulging these and other interesting (if not, in some cases, fairly pointless and dangerous e.g. smoked Quaalude) psychoactive forays. It's scary, but after watching this series I might -- just might -- try smoking toad venom some day. With supervision, of course. Do not, I repeat DO NOT encourage your bored, brilliant, curious teenage relatives to watch this show. It is totally unnecessary. They will hear about, watch it and imitate its behaviors all by themselves!
