| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to psychedelics today. This is your host, Joe Moore. I hope you're all doing lovely. |
| 0:20.4 | For this episode, I actually traveled all the way over to |
| 0:23.6 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and got to link up with Hamilton Morris. If you don't know who |
| 0:29.5 | Hamilton is, you really, really, really need to check out Hamilton's Pharmacopia. Brilliant show. |
| 0:35.7 | Three full seasons now. And just a really bright, clever person. |
| 0:42.6 | Really fun getting together with him. |
| 0:45.5 | You'll see we start out kind of just laughing a little bit and we get into some good jokes later. |

| 1:39.7 | map, but it's, yeah, we kind of talk about the documentary, talk about some other hopes, and talk about |
| 1:46.2 | Compass. And yeah, talk about Hamilton's laboratory work now, which is really what he's wanted to do |
| 1:51.2 | for a long time. I don't think we get into any vice drama, though that would be an interesting |
