Not really a vid essay but…

If youve ever been curious about the culture and science around drugs, Vice had a series called Hamilton’s Pharmacopia. Some episodes/ specials are available on YT. Premise: Documentary Series- Hamilton Morris is a chemist with a proclivity for studying the effects of different substances and how they work. Each episode is interesting he interviews all sorts of ppl from all walks of life. For instance: interviews a visual artist seemingly addicted to DMT, Native Americans who welcomed him to experience a guided ritual, scientists who did jail time for synthseizing research chemicals… and so so so many more. I‘m not super into the chemistry aspect, but a significant aspect of his show is based in the sociological and psychological affects of illicit substance. I linked one of my favorite episodes:) I also just luv Hamilton ❣️ and if he ever sees this 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 lolz

hamilton’s pharmacopeia

i haven’t watched them all and idk if they’re relaxing necessarily, but it’s this guy who literally just travels and learns about the cultivation / production, culture, and effects (firsthand) of different drugs lol the actual show is on hulu but the older, shorter version of it is on youtube totally free
