POD 54: The True Story of Charles Innes
Added 2022-08-08 05:11:23 +0000 UTCAn interview ten years in the making, for the first time the true story of Charles Innes is recounted.
Charles Innes blinded himself while under the influence of PCP in 1971, a tragedy that may have inspired Nixon's war on drugs and a national PCP panic. The attached files provide evidence for many of the stories told by Innes.

Comments
The assertion being made may not be right, but his recounting of it and the purported rationale were spot on.

2022-09-03 03:17:09 +0000 UTCI liked when Tim Dillon observed that going back to religion is the next thing that everyone alternative will choose to do because they've exhausted drugs and tattoos and open relationships haha that those are all lame by now so diving into religion will be the next thing people try to make cool. This guy is always ahead of his time so let's see where the trends go ha

2022-08-22 19:18:05 +0000 UTCI was listening to this as I was laying down last night with my ear buds in. I fell asleep half way through and woke up right at the ending. Shit scared the fuck out of me for some reason lol. Relistened again today. Such a powerful story. Shed a tear not going to lie. Amazing how much he accomplished after such an event in his life. 🙏

2022-08-15 06:22:58 +0000 UTCI second this!!
Amanda Van Hout
2022-08-15 06:20:56 +0000 UTCI think we just need to be thankful that Hamilton even does this at all :)
Amanda Van Hout
2022-08-15 06:19:47 +0000 UTCPretty sure that's what we're doing here! Some of these are older interviews, before there was intention to publish in podcast form.
Chris Newport
2022-08-14 23:58:52 +0000 UTCWhat an incredible piece of documented history! Not only an insight to the lineage of police brutality, but the manipulation of information by police, government agencies and the media. If the general public had an inkling of this perspective, the ‘war on drugs’ wouldn’t have the leverage it has for decades.
Donovan
2022-08-12 18:13:03 +0000 UTCMaybe spec some recommendations? Might be a more fruitful approach than giving him audio related research to do
Samantha Firoze Sethna
2022-08-12 07:37:54 +0000 UTCYes I would do that. I’m paying for the service and it is easy fix. I am appreciative, it’s just a comment on quality control which I think for a product behind a pay wall is totally fair enough.
Elliott Robinson
2022-08-11 22:09:45 +0000 UTCThis one brought me to tears. The sheer joy and optimism in a man that has been unwillinlgly subjected of to so much pain is so inspiring. Thank you for everything you do Hamilton

2022-08-10 21:24:14 +0000 UTCAmazing episode! Thanks a lot. Hope you will be able to publish this somewhere where the general public can read/listen. Absolutely believe that stuff like this might help change the general view on psychedelics.

Samantha Firoze Sethna
2022-08-10 03:46:33 +0000 UTCGot goosebumps at the “om” at the end of this wild story. Very inspiring to help change what I can while living my life

2022-08-10 00:35:24 +0000 UTCAlmost every tragedy that is hyped up in the media has a fear/control/political agenda. I just watched the last interview Ted Bundy agreed to and of course he requested it be done by Dr. James Dobson and centered on the dangers of pornography being the catalyst for crimes. I appreciate that you are able to make the correlation between the general population being fed fear. Also, if you get a felony offense you lose your right to vote. Decriminalization and harm reduction is the only way to reduce crime, poverty and prevent unnecessary death. Besides the majority of major offenders are politicians and people who promise to serve and protect. Thank you for giving Mr. Innes a platform for which he may speak the truth and be respected and heard. I appreciate your hard work Hamilton. You are authentic and that is why people trust you. Now I must commence to trying to find this photo/more info regarding the covering of your dick with the head of a pig so I might have some context. Keep it real.

2022-08-09 21:37:20 +0000 UTCsounds like you should take the time out of your schedule and provide this service to hamilton free of charge! people are busy, please be appreciative we even get to listen to this in the first place. be a more bearable patron
keegan herron
2022-08-09 17:30:38 +0000 UTCGreat interview. Hamilton, can we all pitch in to buy you a proper mic? The majority of these interviews are super hard to listen to unless your in a completely quiet environment. Seems like a really easy fix, imo. Keep up the good work.
Cason Clark
2022-08-09 15:20:25 +0000 UTCAbsolutely amazing! Been waiting so long for this thank you.
Carlos Quintero
2022-08-09 15:10:24 +0000 UTCI would say 50% of these pods have bad sound quality. I haven’t listened to all of this one yet and it doesn’t seem like the worst, but still bad enough seeing as you have been wanting to do this interview for 10 years? I understand perhaps you don’t always control the orher persons mic but could a PP fix such as an eq and compressor not do the trick and make it more bearable for your patreons?
Elliott Robinson
2022-08-09 15:04:53 +0000 UTCSound quality is not good.

2022-08-09 00:18:18 +0000 UTCDamn, an absolutely un-shatterable human spirit. If we could all possess a sliver of his patience.
saeric
2022-08-09 00:08:08 +0000 UTCThe amount of damage, and pure human suffering caused by police and governments in the drug war is truly mindblowing. I sympathize with him, but I'm not sure I can ever forgive them for what they have done.

2022-08-08 19:09:28 +0000 UTCMan, oh man. I know he doesn't want to be contacted and whatnot but I sure hope Charles can feel our love. As a community, we need to rally around this man.
Chad Cook
2022-08-08 17:49:39 +0000 UTCI'm sure he's perfectly satisfied with your $5 per month. No need to do that.
Jordon Stanford
2022-08-08 16:08:25 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing his story. It was absolutely heart breaking at times but his story must be shared.

2022-08-08 15:18:35 +0000 UTCnot sure the whole menthol cigarettes' thing is right... though they should ban the companies from the predatorial advertising in neighborhoods with more blacks and Hispanics.
Mitchell
2022-08-08 15:17:22 +0000 UTCWhat a great interview. This podcast series is one for the history books and I've been so glad to have been along for the ride since the start. What a trove of historically important qualitative research this is, I wish there was a whole research department full of Hamiltons.

2022-08-08 14:58:50 +0000 UTCI still don’t understand what green wings are and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
Ryan Campbell
2022-08-08 14:40:49 +0000 UTCAbsolutely fascinating interview and one of my favorites by far. It must have been a joy spending time with this man. Thanks for bringing this story to light, Hamilton.
