VICE - 2012-10-19
VICE heads to the Amazon on a hunt for its most hallucinogenic tree frogs. Watch the rest here: http://bit.ly/Frog-Tripping-2 http://bit.ly/Frog-Tripping-3 There is an Amazonian frog called Phyllomedusa Bicolor or the Sapo which I have been reading about for years. It is totally different from the psychedelic toads found in North America. The Sapo's venom produces an effect much closer to morphine than LSD, but really it's not like either of those things. It's a distinctly vomitous dissociative experience unlike anything else I've ever encountered. There has been a lot written about the chemistry of the venom, and it has been said to have a diverse array of effects. Some people think it's a miracle opioid which will yield new non-addictive painkillers. Others think it's a super-potent stimulant and appetite suppressant, and even a strange psychedelic capable of tuning hunters on to the mindset of their prey. In the 80s researchers found one of the constituents of Sapo venom in the urine of autistic children, and developed an entire theory of autism around it. I had to find out what this frog really does, but supposedly it cannot produce its venom in captivity. The only way to experience its unique trip is to travel down the Amazon River and catch one yourself, which is exactly what I did. — VICE Correspondent Hamilton Morris Watch more VICE documentaries here: http://bit.ly/VICE-Documentaries Subscribe to VICE for the best videos online: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE Check out our full video catalog: http://www.youtube.com/user/vice/videos Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com Like VICE on Facebook: http://fb.com/vice Follow VICE on Twitter: http://twitter.com/vice Read our tumblr: http://vicemag.tumblr.com
Sending this guy into the jungle seems like a cruel joke.
Flip Zilip Yeah, talk about a duck out of water.
lol a duck out of water isn't unusual
+Andreu i think he meant fish ...lol
Ropata Turner Yeah... probably
+Chris AA Ducks can even fly, seriously. :D
It's like Vice just went to their local dealer and asked him if he wanted to go to the jungle to trip his ass off on some spicy drug frog
I know you are joking but look at Hamilton morris on joe rogan podcast he is really well spoken and educated.
@tonyjohnson3717 you're absolutely right, but I had to do it to em
Drug dealer? More like drug abuser lol
@miggiemaccin6993 You're wife/cousin needs you to get off of youtube and start paying some bills around here
@helmutschmitt4504 bru😭
Dude sounds eternally stoned and still manages to captivate attention. I love him
You a goofy
He looks like a school shooter some years after graduation.
I am happy looks can be deceiving.
What's with that vocal fry narration lmao
@deejay7339I’m so interested but his narration is irritating
He might actually be lol....
This guy sounds like a 00’s emo kids diary being read out as it was written
At one point in the video he i thought he was reaching up to push his hair out of his eyes. But he pulled it more over his eye. I died
rodrick
Lmao
Hahahahaha reading the comments about this dude is more fun
🤣🤣🤣 i thought I was the only one thinking is voice is different
Hamilton is the most stoned looking sober person ive ever seen.
Hes almost never sober in these vidoes. He was smoking spice the entire trip
@baseddoggie He was born high.
Who said he was sober lmao
He was smoking JWH-018 the entire time
sober in thought. love him. nb: ; l wonder if he takes speed if his voice speeds up!
The strange thing is the hallucinegenic frog is not the weirdest part about all this
I guess it's more about the journey like they say
Vice producer 1: So, yeah. Like... literally... the tribe totally used to be Cannibals.
Vice producer 2: Best send Hamilton. They won't be tempted to eat that toothpick.
Only Vice sends a guy in skinny jeans and a dress shirt fresh out of an Edgar Allan Poe convention, to the middle of the Amazon to trip on toads.
Hamilton is more suited for this job than most.
They sent him because he deosnt have any meat on his bones…less chance to be eaten.
@kevinkanable8191 🤣outttta pocket
Dont forget they sent Hamilton out to hang with reformed cannibal tribe
@wakenbaker-uk That's just brilliant
this man is wearing vans and some skinny jeans in the Amazon
Style is more important my friend
SoldadoRyan Br777 but he looks painfully average, he’d look kinda dope in proper Amazon expeditionary drabz
@JockStud i don't like those skinny jeans too,but everyone seems to be using It so I think it's fashion I guess??
YOLO
This is a man of culture
This guy is what would happen if my grandpa imagined a drug user.
all humans are drug users. sugar, coffee, alcohol ( in case of your grandpa)
Legend has it one of the mosquitoes that bit him overdosed
😂😂😂
this guy does some of the most interesting stuff I have ever seen, and still manages to seem bored the entire time
Hahaha agreed😂😀😆😄☺️😐😔🥺😭
You funny 🤣🤣🤣
it’s cuz he’s been to parts of his brain others haven’t everything probably boring to him
Jesus Christ thank you Jesus
whats his name?
Love how Vice sent the skinniest guy to a formerly cannibalistic Indian tribe 😂 they knew what they were doing lol
Lmfao
Deadass they stay doing this lmao
lmfao, they planned this hahaha :D
""formerly""
Can't take any chances lol
Hamilton wasnt born he just spawned in a guitar center
Hahahahaha
Hahahahah wow
Lmao 😂😂 that is the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen
Kayla Jackson 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
“These communities are known to have hepatitis epidemics” “when we docked, my hands were covered in bleeding mosquito bites”
He sounds like he's just permanently stoned.
Just Your Friendly Neighborhood Chaplain is he not?
Audra Mauldin he’s got a morphine drip constantly attached
This guy is high for life mah brotha.
Jwh-018 cigarettes.
He’s tried every drug known to man so it’d make sense
This guy sounds like a cigarette
tom Lol!!
It’s crazy annoying lol
Crying hahah
🤣
😂😂😂😂🗣🚬
Dudes probably the only vice team member capable of doing a drug 100x stronger then morphine lol
Frank Marano it’s not controlled more because police think it’s worse, it’s all controlled for money and the profit system that drugs will always produce. Humans always want to feel good, feel release, experience new, and some drugs allow that. The police know nothing more then your average citizen as that is what they are, comparable to robots receiving orders. They follow the 1%s drug war on mankind that is illegal as humans have natural rights to anything that grows or can be obtained naturally. The 1% indulge in whatever they want but make you pay with money and time/life if you think about trying it.
No one says "dude" this is 2019 sticc with the generation
This is why I come to the comment section.
Micielo Silkwood STFU bitch
@johnleary4597 you have no idea what you are talking about lol. Opiates are controlled because the human body becomes extremely dependant on it very quickly and once addicted, it is next to impossible for most people to come off of by themselves. so looking at this it is very easy to see why they are more tightly controlled than weed.
Talk about a guy with no emotion.This guy could win a staring contest against a mime.
This dude sounds like every emo kid in high school I’ve ever known.
Wikkitt Klown Emos have been around since the 70s Jesus fuck how old are you man?
@Racist Bean Probably. Where I go to school gays are still beat until they're straight. The only gay person here is super tough and liked by all the girls so nobody screws with him. Emo's wouldn't last a second here
I know right! The vocal fry is deafening 😂
This dude doesn't seem like an Emo. He's just a hard core stoner. And yeah, what the fuck were you born in the stone age? Never seen an Emo before? lol!! You think you are tough, but would you let a formerly cannibalistic tribe Burn your fucking skin and then rub frog venom into it? I think not. That's why you are HERE. Watching from the comfort of your PC.
LMAOOOOOOO
Give this reporter some anti depressants. Jesus Christ.
Lol. Lol
Forrreal. He's hard to watch.
he actually has his own show now and he’s not lame or boring. it’s really cool. he also cut his hair ahhah
Welcome to vice a depressing place to work for.
He himself sounds hallucinate
Perhaps, It's The Frog That's Doing The Narration.
😂😂
bud weis errr
sameer shrivastava I fuckin hate you in a loving way lol
THIS DESERVES MORE EXPOSURE
Hahahahahahaha
most of this comment section has no idea who Hamilton Morris is and have no idea why he was the perfect person to send out here. He’s an amazing chemist, people getting hung up on his body and the way he speaks are missing the point.
well said
Came to watch a guy tripping on frogs. Stayed to read the quality roasting on this guy's appearance.
L33TNINJ4Grrl facts 😂
And his voice.
HaHaHa, thats too funny!
But the majority of what theyre roasting him about is all of his own doing! He easily coulda changed most of all that right before he started filming!
L33TNINJ4Grrl he’s a slayer fan..no doubt about that lol 😂
This dudes clothing decisions for this trip are just 0/10
or 10/10 depending on how you think about it
Peter S no
It's his trip. Move on
@macatSkye I’d rather pass cheap judgement on the internet.
@altiv8108 yes
I’m convinced vice just pays this guy with lots of drugs and cigarettes
😂😂😂
hahahah
🤣🤣🤣
He doesn't smoke cigarettes
@pricklycatsss He likes nicotine tho
I feel so bad for that lady that lost 3 children that's so sad my condolences to her and her family
They gave him a life jackets that says "women passenger" in Spanish lmao
yesssss
joe mama he was even saying the guy was saying they were going to think he was a woman
hahahahha
Yea because that dude skinny af
His sexy ass and vag
This dude has zero anxiety in life. Vice: 'Want to head into the jungle with peeps who eat other peeps and trip out on a morphine filled frog?" Dude: "Yes, of course"
He's gonna have some wild stories to tell if he ever has kids someday
Not morphine.
Well the guy is nothing but bones anyways"they won't eat him"
LOL
He’s done so many drugs, he knows what happened after death
An Amazonian guy talking to hes mate. "Yeah I met a westerner once, they're strange, thin, slow moving, slow talking, long haired, sloth like people"
Lmfao
😂
Michael Birchall lol, this made me chuckle.
"Westerner was a tall junkie."
A majority of people where I’m from are literal crackheads
dude's face was bruised from all the mosquito bites by the end.
"Juan asks Petro if he thinks I'm a woman"
"Petro says no."
"Juan looks defeated."
f for juan
F
😂😂😂
Juan gay
lmao
F
It’s like Vice told some random dude at Hot Topic they’d give him some Xan’s if he went on a trip to the Amazon
i’d do it
funny thing is that hes actually a research chemist
@user-qx9zn2cj4e wait, really?
StickHits you have a link for any of his videos?
Xans and Vans
His attire in the Amazon gives me anxiety
agreed. so entertaining though..
His attire was deeply disrespectful, impeding, inconsiderate, and rude. Disrespectful, as he chose not to bathe or even bring a change of clothes either. I mean gross. Other people were experiencing him now on that front.
He goes to the middle of nowhere- doesn't want to bathe, attire that does nothing for the environment he's in, brings nothing to manage his reality. Other people then are overcompensating because of his stupidity or willful ignorance.
Mara the guys on the boat literally wearing jeans and a t shirt 😂😂😂 what are y’all on abt
@JupiterSun-888 the people he went to see were all wearing Jean's and t shirts too 🤷♂️😂
@JupiterSun-888 dude the natives are literally naked I don’t think clothing equates respect to them
Hamilton feels like the homie to me at this point! I remember watching his documentary video's all the time on repeat back in high school, and now to see how far he has come doing the things he loves is wholesome <3
Absolutely a one of a kind kind of person.
I really do love Hamilton, but there's no denying that he has the demeanor of a vampire
@Art 797 aHa
Just know this is still making people lol 10 months later
correction the word but should be and
And the body of someone with a eating disorder
Bahahaha i never thought of it that way , Draculas memoirs
"I had been smoking JWH-018-laced cigarettes and was too high to be skeptical. So instead, I opted for extreme fear"
I feel that
Let me get some of that
@imnottrippin just smoke weed bro god damn
@manicmamc291 I do...🤷♂️
@imnottrippin fair enough. Just not a fan of those research chemicals lmaooo but to each their own
@manicmamc291 Lol what do you think THC is? Especially nowadays.
Juan says the ice will last 6 days but that seems totally impossible
This is why this man is my idol. Even though he's younger than me. Kinda weird but I love that he's wearing vans and skinny jeans going to trip on a frog in the middle of the Amazon with some very sketchy characters. The security guy is def a killer. The dedication and courage it takes to do this is unbelievable and to keep his monotoned deep sense of humor and always has respect for locals and their culture. Hamilton you are truly a gifted individual in every way. I have the upmost respect for you sir and I truly hope one day we will cross paths and have some time to have a conversation.
this man's getting roasted by the locals and the comment section lol
😂😂😂
Onfroi fr tho lol
UR AN IDIOT
@undrthewrld no you're an idiot 😬
Lmao funniest comment out of all of them
Dude, I think you are "dazed" already. If you talked any slower you'd be talking backwards.
lmaoo
Hahahaaaa
😂😂
HAHA !!
WORD
This guy sounds like one of the emo kids from south park
+Joseph Hill Looks like them too! lol
Conformist

+Belethor what brings you to skyrim?
+Belethor Courier
13:54 not Hamilton smoking the K2 cigs
“I had been smoking JWH18 laced cigarettes and was too high to be skeptical so instead I opted for extreme fear.”
Has to be one of the funniest lines ever written in the name of journalism.
His commenting is like the longest burp ever
Total man bun voice
I CANT UNHEAR THIS😂😂😂
Fuck, you won
Ooooooh crap😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol
Every stoner’s dream. To go on adventures, get high AF and still have a legit job.
Bruh your comment is so accurate

Just maybe not the remote Amazon
Where do I sign up??
That's what I said!!!
Y'all in the comments need to leave my homie alone, he's already depressed as it is.
We say it lovingly
Straight up i can't breathe
Do you know him?
Nidal Freitekh nah, it’s in his voice
Someone lol he sounds normal to me..
The only way this could've been better is if they dressed him up entirely with a suit and a bow tie
He sounds like he narrates creepy pastas
oh yeah u get a like fo dat 😗
play 1.25 speed he sounds completely normal
number 8.. burger foot lettuce..
@aLegend ahah legit
Angelo Fuentes

@lillybrown4228 - 2019-12-22
He definitely looks like the kind of kid that would lick a frog in the middle of nowhere.
@Timetonut - 2019-12-24
Lilly Brown I'd try it, but I don't have that dedication to go that far to get to it.
@cparss - 2020-06-07
