Following The New York Times Sunday profile on VICE's in house drug aficionado/chemist, Hamilton Morris and his original web series Hamilton's Pharmacopeia, VICE today premieres the latest episode where Hamilton travels to Amsterdam to discover the Philosopher's Stone of psychedelics — the [psilocybin-containing] truffle.

In this episode of Hamilton's Pharmacopeia, Hamilton sits down and chats with the notorious Truffle Brothers in a quaint Dutch farm that also functions as the world's largest truffle factory, then proceeds to munch down 8 grams of the magical mushrooms and explore Amsterdam on Queen's Day (the Netherland's most chaotic and rampantly wild day of the year).
