PCP to psychedelic fish: uncover the stories behind the world's strangest drugs

Hamilton Morris is on a mind-altering mission to reveal the truth about psychoactive stimulants - from secret government drug experiments in South Africa to the joys of salvia divinorum. So why do people assume he's a waster?

When people tell Hamilton Morris that he "gets high for a living" - and when I say "people" I mean "devilish Guardian headline writers" - it leaves him exasperated.

"It's funny, but it's also reductive," he says. "It feeds into the biases and more hateful interpretation of what I do. It would be completely unacceptable for you to say that someone who writes about relationships gets fucked for a living!"
