📍PRE-ORDER IS LIVE📍 Confessions of an English Opium Eater by Thomas De Quincey was originally published anonymously in 1821. It is half Dickensian memoir and half psychedelic fever dream. Thomas De Quincey, like many other English Romantics, was addicted to laudanum, a potent tincture made of opium dissolved in alcohol. This book documents his journey running away from school to meet his literary idols, discovering opium, and becoming a starved artist living in squalor and in the throes of addiction. This hardcover, illustrated edition features a new introduction by @HamiltonMorris , a renowned journalist, documentarian, and chemist who specializes in psychoactive drugs.  It is furnished with cover art, custom endpapers, and over 20 original illustrations by Hernan Conde de Boeck.  Interior book design by Sherill Chapman. This edition is limited to 3,000 copies. 9 inches tall by 6 inches wide. Estimated at around 500 pages. Page count is subject to change until printing.  Rounded spine with Smyth sewn binding and headbands. Deckled edges. Gold foiling.  Printed in the United States of America.

Interestingly, @grok is saying that the (apparently deleted?) drug price list from the Epstein files is a hoax or a meme. It's not a hoax, you can still read the document here on @jmailarchive jmail.world/drive/vol00009…

I'm working on a new edition of Confessions of an English Opium Eater with @GallowglassPB they recently released a beautiful poster from one of the book's new illustrations and you can get it here: gallowglassbooks.com/products/opium…

It has just come to my attention that this document has been deleted from the Epstein files, apparently it is one of many documents that the government deleted after the initial public release. The original file name for the download was, "EFTA00556982.pdf"

Interesting drug price list from the new Epstein file release

@RickDoblin @GilgameshRX A wrist tattoo depicting 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-7-aminide, genuinely unsure what the intended molecule was here, serotonin? I suspect AI may have played a role in this disaster.

I recently interviewed @RickDoblin for my podcast, but I was having trouble focusing because his LSD shirt actually depicted a novel seco-LSD analog. This compound has never been made, but it might have interesting activity, a similar seco-nor-LSD was patented by @GilgameshRX

Molecular diagrams drawn by the chemically illiterate are the new mistranslated Chinese character tattoo. This “THC” t-shirt actually depicts 11-HO-THC-C4

Two former members of Psymposia, an astroturf anti-psychedelic activist group, have come forward to describe Psymposia's work as DEA informants. Listen to my analysis here: patreon.com/posts/pod-139-…

I just released an interview with the chemistry educator Dave Farina of Professor Dave Explains. We discuss drug synthesis, disinformation, and political polarization in science. youtube.com/watch?v=Ca7xNM…

@DrugCulturesPod That's a great episode, thanks.

Hamilton, it’s crazier than that. The unsealed indictment literally alleges that PDVSA, Venezuela’s nationalized oil company, is secretly also responsible for large-scale drug trafficking, and that Maduro was personally overseeing this Brazen dishonesty to manufacture consent for taking over the country’s oil podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dru…

Everyone always knew the War on Drugs was never about drugs, but wow...they're not even pretending anymore! How on earth will seizing 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil combat "narco-terrorism"?

I worked with @CREAMTucson to screen print a limited run of shirts featuring a historical photo of graffiti painted by the poet Heathcote Williams to protest the arrest of LSD chemists Christine Bott and Richard Kemp in 1977. Get one here: hamiltonmorris.com

First of many film pieces that we've shot over the last 2 years is now on patreon! @HamiltonMorris patreon.com/posts/synthesi…

Funds raised thus far from the sale of the Free Fester shirt have been transferred to Fester's legal team. Many thanks to everyone who bought a shirt, close to 5k was raised and there are still 28 shirts left. hamiltonmorris.com/products/free-…

Psymposia has refused to disclose their source of funding, today an article by @johnsemley3000 in @wired revealed that they were paid $185,000 by the Sarlo family to run their anti-MDMA campaign. wired.com/story/psychede…

My friend Uncle Fester got into some legal trouble (summarized in the attached link) and so I've organized a fundraiser to help pay his legal pills and get him back on his feet. All profits from these shirts go directly to Fester’s legal defense. Only 100 left! hamiltonmorris.com/products/free-…

The most recent episode of my podcast contains the biggest leak of formerly restricted forensic chemistry literature in history, I recommend listening and downloading the the PDFs as a backup. Highly educational. patreon.com/posts/pod-124-…

@s3nthes I just tried the same query that produced the disclaimer on chatGPT on grok...and you are right.

@HamiltonMorris Try Grok, it doesn't censor any chemistry from my experience.

One of the things I loved about chatGPT was that it didn't litter any discussion relating to chemistry and controlled substances with these sorts of empty disclaimers, it seems those days are over.
