HAMILTON’S PHARMACOPEIA

Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia is a deep dive into the world of psychoactive substances, led by chemist and journalist Hamilton Morris.

Blending investigative journalism, history, and hard science with a touch of gonzo exploration, the series takes viewers on a global journey through the chemistry, culture, and controversy surrounding mind-altering drugs.

I was a lead editor on the Vice series. For The Cactus Apprentice, I traveled with Hamilton to the Peruvian Andes as a field producer, documenting his journey into the world of mescaline-containing cacti.
