Awesome podcast, thanks! Does anyone know if there is a copy somewhere online of the Dateline NBC episode called "X files" that features Strike from the Hive? mentioned here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hive_(website)

2026-01-10 16:53:40 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing another wonderful episode. I've been meaning to look into more of the history of Amanita muscaria. This isn't very important, but I believe the illustration of Amanita phalloides at 12:21 may be depicting Amanita pantherina.

2026-01-05 15:41:21 +0000 UTCI enjoyed this. I had some very very weird experiences like 20 years ago on Amanita. Most of the time it was a weird sedating delirious experiences almost like dreaming, but one 7 gram dose landed me in the hospital after what observers and EMTs thought was a seizure though. I've been reluctant to try them again obviously but all this extracts on the market really caught my attention

2025-12-25 13:51:08 +0000 UTCThe look of despair on Hamiltons face when the chemist is explaining the drug addict panel eliminating a potential therapeutic drug for hallucinogenic side effects. I felt it!

2025-12-24 16:17:51 +0000 UTCMan, we need a gaboxadol source if we're gonna keep talking about this. Or a walkthrough of an easy and approachable synthesis.

2025-12-24 08:03:54 +0000 UTCThe same story for so many great medicines...Oh, it makes people feel good? Then it's illegal. What a shame. I hour one day our laws and science will recognize that euphoria or altered mental states are part of the healing, not antithetical to it.

2025-12-23 08:53:25 +0000 UTCMan.. as big as you are, I don't see how Netflix or Hulu wouldnt give you your own show. Hamilton's pharmacopia is one of my favorite shows of all time and I know I'm not alone.

2025-12-22 23:13:42 +0000 UTCI can't find the old fashion week video anywhere - I remember that having a scene with amanita muscaria but I can't find the video anywhere anymore. Anyone know what happened to that old video?

2025-12-22 23:08:04 +0000 UTC"Mushroomaniacs are on the path to suicide" I've often felt like I committed partial suicide when I took mushrooms. My soul went to the hospital to heal up and then they sent it back into my body much improved. I don't feel like the person I used to be. It's been good-good. I was tired of being me.
