Who Are These Cats?
Maybe the greatest gathering of psychedelic creators assembled—something for every type of curious chemical seeker. Whether you’re the fungi adventurer, the lab-coat wizard, the philosophical beacon, the pyromaniac for the devil’s lettuce, or just the curious monkey, I should have something to fit your energy.
I’m getting a touch personal in this post, sharing my favorite channels that have helped me forge my own understanding of psychedelic substances and drugs in general. It only feels right to share all this wisdom-filled entertainment I’ve consumed over the years with the community. And I kinda feel like plugging my favorite creators, honestly.
Half of these channels have been my Goats among Goats for many years. So I will take full pleasure in overglazing some cakes. Some minds are monumental pillars of the psychedelic community, and others are valuable entertainers/educators that have caught my eye over the years.
I’m using the term psychedelic creator kinda loosely here, applying to a whole array of channels, encompassing all the trippy substances your mind can conjure, most likely way more. I’ve also assembled my adamantium-lunged Avengers (Cannabis Creators).
Now, my claim of collecting 20 psychedelic creators is true; the number of channels and other assets far exceeds that. I believe every entry here is of immense value to a wide collective of people, a real groovy gang of cats that I hope, if YouTube survives the test of time, the aliens get to watch. Or maybe they already are??
Any Featured Clips?
This post will contain short-form content to showcase the creators’ style and general vibe. Some make consistently fantastic shorts, while others dabble gracefully in the act. But don’t get it twisted; long-form content will always reign supreme.
In no way do fewer or zero featured shorts mean lower on my rankings; I’m not out here to discredit another being’s legacy. In fact, I have no ranking; they’re all dope to someone, and apparently all to me.
Depictions of substance use and foul language will be expressed.
Why Even Make This Post?
Over the years of my long-standing interest in psychedelics, one source of education shines brighter than almost all others. YouTube.
Amid YouTube’s growing dominance online, its role as a source of psychedelic information will only continue to expand. Making its psychedelic creators ever more crucial and valuable. My psychedelic knowledge would not be where it is today without the existence of some of these channels.
Hence why I’m making this post. Digital content, particularly video content, will only continue to flex its dominance upon the world.
Even with YouTube’s tyrannical censorship of these topics, there is still a massive amount of educational and wildly entertaining content available on these platforms. All for free. Now let the glaze commence.
Dakota Of Earth
Among the coolest cats roaming the earth as we currently exist. Dakota Wint is a seeker of all things strange and mysterious, and he often lands himself in mystical corners of the world that seem not of this realm. His psychedelic voyages and curious adventures have brought him to places and people unseen by most dwellers of normal descent.
Dakota is a spiritual explorer who’ll show you many fascinating cultures and anything with a flavor of bizarra. Things such as real-life witchcraft, shamanic practices, and historical places (usually with some psychedelic or religious significance).
Catch him chilling with cannibal tribes, indigenous communities, holy men, modern cave dwellers, shamans, and any other character living behind the veil of strangeness.
The way Dakota has navigated, approached, and shared his psychedelic & life experiences has been pure poetry to watch. He also dabbles in poetry; in fact, the first videos he uploaded were poetry. He even wrote his own poetry book a few years ago.
Not only does he articulate his thoughts gracefully through deep discussions in his videos and livestreams, but he’s also produced several podcasts over the years that delve into mystical topics.
Dakota is a true treasure to this realm, and his curiosity keeps showing the world the most unique & bizarre gems within it, and sometimes beyond!
If you really want to explore his incredible work and life, I’d really recommend checking out his mystifying website, which perfectly encapsulates his energy.
Psyched Substance
Among YouTube’s psychedelic community, few are truly worthy of the crown as Adam is. A curious educator who’s dominated the space for many years. And maybe none illuminates your safety better.
Covering what feels like all the dimensions of psychedelic coverage over his decade-long career, he’s undoubtedly become one of the platform’s most valued & beloved creators. (no matter how little YouTube appreciates it!)
It’s hard to imagine what substances he hasn’t addressed. He approaches these topics in an honest and comedic manner, whilst screaming at your safety, which is why Adam has become the valued YouTube psychedelic grandfather that he is. (No shade, love you, Adam)
His work is displayed extensively through his lab coat lessons, documented & live self-experiments, in-depth reviews, and vital personal life stories. Interviewing festival-goers mingling among the spiraling moonlight is a great series of his.
Adam has been a recurring revelation to watch over the past decade. Providing his viewers with vital harm reduction spoken with an enchanting energy that most of you are probably accustomed to. Unless you’ve been living under the YouTube psychedelic boulders.
Seriously tho, how could you not like the man crafting such remarkably awesome super-soft mushroom blankets? (Website below)
Your Mate Tom
Another excellent psychedelic explorer of our generation. Plunging deep into the depths of psychedelics, psychology, and spirituality.
My mate Tom has masterfully forged himself into a magnificent storyteller over the years, whilst developing great filmmaking skills. This is extremely useful for creating enchanting documentary-style content and for exploring deep discussions and analysis of psychedelic topics.
One can find many psychedelic deep dives, interviews/podcasts, honest discussions, world adventures, and a whole ashram of mystical topics, too many to mention.
He tackles these topics with an uncomfortable honesty; he discusses them with no element untouched, be it problematic or miraculous. His spiritually inclined adventures will show you some of the world’s most fascinating people & places.
Tom does a superb job of seeking the weirdest psychedelic planes of existence to talk about. Finding the most interesting people, substances, and ways of thinking to articulate has become a second-nature skill of Tom’s.
Time For My Stoner Goats.
DrewIsSharing
Becoming a figure of great significance & a true legend in the cannabis scene during his YouTube career, a connoisseur among connoisseurs. An educator on all things green. And it’s easy to see why he’s risen to high prominence in the Weed industry. Drew’s videos are highly entertaining, super informative, very comical, and always delivered with unwavering honesty.
Drew brings many elements to the table. Including high-end flower reviews, ultra-informed education, content adventures around international cannabis scenes, testing the public’s flower series, hilarious internet finds, and a goated shorts game; the list is truly never-ending. His deep medical knowledge adds a professional coating to his content.
I feel that any avenue of cannabis education or entertainment you may seek will most likely be found on Drew’s intensive channel. Being very much THE weed guy on YouTube for a decade now (at least out of the UK), his channel is an overflowing archive of cannabis information.
He’s way more than your average cannabis creator; alongside his energetic yet consistently laid-back live streams, he is also the proud owner of the Drewissharing Coffeeshop, operating in both Amsterdam and Thailand, where he currently resides.
He’s even dabbled in his own premium rolling papers and a Stardawg clothing line once upon a time. (Yes, like the strain) I miss that lost Stardawg polo relic.
I was lucky enough to meet the legend himself in person at a cannabis event in the UK about 5 years ago, when he was also a UK resident. Like most stoners you’ll meet, Drew is a super chill, down-to-earth guy. I can’t say enough good things about Drew.
RawOG420
Another legend in the cannabis space, the RawOG is a multi-talented creator known for exercising his creativity in many avenues. Brandon’s chill demeanor and iron lungs have kept his content perched at the top of the game, with smoking videos being his bread and cannabutter.
Starting his channel whilst still in high school and graduating with 100k subs, his content over the last decade now covers more than my words can ever explain.
Certainly not limited to crazy smoking challenges, experienced tips and tricks/advice, chill nature vlogs/smokes, endless weed porn, hilarious Reddit finds, and other internet antics.
Alongside his main chiefing channel, gaming channel, and Twitch livestreams, he recently created a new storytelling channel that I will link below.
Brandon is one of the dopest dudes I follow online; we share our passions for cannabis, psychedelics, and music tastes. The vibes this cat has been casting upon me for a decade have been immaculate.
He also founded one of the dopest clothing lines, HIGHSPIRIT. All centered around psychedelics and cannabis. But sadly, his site hasn’t been active in a while. If his site becomes active in the future, I will link it to this post.
Turns out he’s a wildly talented rapper as well. EVILMANE
Actually, the artist that got me into the whole phonk genre (vibes below)
Little Miller
High Spirit T-Shirt From My Personal Collection
(Yes, it glows in the dark)
XCodeh
Our first exceptional storyteller, the OG storyteller, YouTube’s most snazzy stoner, XCodeh. This man’s childhood story bag extends deeper than Hermione’s enchanted handbag in The Deathly Hallows. If smooth jazz were incarnated as a cannabis creator, it’d be XCodeh, no doubt.
Think: crazy encounters with the Rogers, mischievous antics splattered upon school grounds, strange encounters on his local stomping grounds; anyway, you get the picture. It’s common to find some random gameplay alongside his mischievous commentary.
Sometimes you’ll get a chill nature vlog, a crazy story, an intriguing unboxing, or just something interesting within the stoner community. Either way, XCodeh is guaranteed to bring some of the smoothest vibes in my YouTube arsenal.
If you want the OG XCodeh experience these days (smoking on video), these types of videos he sadly had to relegate to a patron. 10 years ago was a great time on YouTube. Well worth the 1 or 2 dollars if you’re down with XCodeh’s snazzy storytelling.
Currently unaware if XCodeh is still shipping crates of bananas to new subscribers!
(In the words of XCodeh) Stay High, Stay Lifted.

Goblin
Our second extraordinary storyteller. This is a man with an Erebor-sized treasure trove of drug-fuelled stories. Sharing these stories is what started Goblin’s content career and remains his bread and butter. He has really carved out his career in many lanes since those days. He shares these stories in the hopes of deterring people from making the same mistakes.
Goblin is above anything an entertainer; truly, a voice they need to hire for GTA 6 radio stations.
His work output displayed across many platforms is incredible. He delivers consistent educational & wildly entertaining storytelling content from his main channel, plus a great clips channel reacting to the internet’s wildest antics.
Operating 2 podcasts simultaneously, “The Gobcast”, hosted by the man himself, usually interviews people like himself with wild stories to tell. Then another titled “Crackheads”, which is co-hosted with his long-time friend & fellow antic spawner Kyle, another interesting cat in my opinion and a hilarious guy in his own right.
Alongside his relentless online content, he founded his own weed company, “Only Gas,” providing Americans with a wide variety of federally legal THCa, with no medical card required.
Good Eats 420/The Rookie Mycologist
A man of many channels, first I’ll touch on his cannabis-focused channels.
One for the home growers and green-thumbed chefs. I’ve never grown weed myself, but this is one place where I’d pick up some intel if I ever do.
His intensive cannabis knowledge paired with his insane work effic has evolved to provide incredible cultivation techniques, which are exercised in his seed-to-harvest videos, product reviews, and a wide variety of cannabis lessons.
As the name suggests, you’ll find a whole pantry of cannabis ideas that would even make the Hobbits jealous. Cannabutter, sweet treats, tinctures, cannabis infused inventions, and pretty much anything a mind and kitchen can conjure up. This is an amazing place to learn all you need to know, whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced enthusiast looking to level up your game.
But the thing I have grown before is psilocybin mushrooms, and The Rookie Mycologist has helped me with both my recent mushroom grows and my dingy wardrobe grows back in the day!
The Rookie Mycologist is an incredible place to gather information about all the workings of a mushroom grow. Made by a rookie mycologist, intended for rookie mycologists.
This man is also a pretty dope rap artist. BassDropKeys. (Links below) KeeZee McKenna is my favorite vibe.

The Quentin Experiment
An excellent channel if you’re looking for deep philosophical discussion surrounding psychedelics.
With Quentin’s interest and experience within the chemistry industry, he feels more qualified than most on this list to speak on topics such as Mushrooms, DMT, LSD, 2C-B, and so on.
Much of his content follows themes of complex discussions, comparisons, and live trip reports. It is always delivered to a high and honest standard and covered with an element of comedy and chill energy.
Although Quentin’s channel was most active 5 years ago, this doesn’t render his videos any less valuable. Posting only 1 video in the last 5 years, I do wonder if Quentin will make a permanent return to YouTube. Regardless, his videos will continue to help and entertain people for many years to come.
Quentin has created an amazing Discord server for the community to get involved. Giving people a platform to discuss all angles of psychedelics with total freedom.

Trip Time Essentials
Trip Time Essentials is both a business and a creative outlet, and it’s very focused on the science behind the magic. Run by a licensed psilocybin facilitator & bioengineer and a medical student soon to be a future doctor, so you know you’re in trusted hands.
An incredible place to learn all about the inner workings of Lemon-Tek (a form of mushroom consumption), and a great deal of other complexities. They will showcase things like debunking psychedelic myths and providing great analysis and harm reduction regarding a lot of psychedelic compounds.
Truly a channel immeasurable in value on the education of all the scientific functions operating within the psychedelic universe.

Vivec
A brilliant mind to add to your collection that’ll provide an archive of wildly insane trip reports and stories brought back from the realm of substances. These videos can be very long and extensive.
Featuring some of the greatest accounts of humanity plunging soul-first into the unknown, some truly fascinating and terrifying trip reports. Vivec also tells some of his own psychedelic journeys, as well as his thoughts and philosophies on these matters. This adds a lovely personal touch to his channel.
I love his calm demeanor and the dope visuals he brings to his content. A creator you really shouldn’t sleep on if you’re into hearing trippy campfire horror stories from a really chill dude.

Mycophilia
Another mushroom-growing channel that will capture the interest of the enthusiast and the total newbie. A great personal archive of cultivation techniques, in-depth how-tos, and all the essential tips and tricks to bring your mushroom substrate to peak efficiency.
There are countless channels similar to this on YouTube, but Mycophilia has always stood out to me. Besides his full tutorials and advice on the finer details of your mushroom growth, he also creates fun activities for the community, like his ‘Mycolympics’ competition. In it, his viewers are given a few requirements for a mushroom grow and compete to see who takes the sporulated crown.

Tales From The Trip
As the name suggests, you’ll find a banquet of mostly horrifying trip reports. Bringing you truly immersive storytelling drawn from the world’s most frightening substances.
If you’re looking for some of the darkest substance tales circulating online, then honestly look no further. Some of the best displays of the horrors that lie within psychedelics and other substances that I’ve seen.
Links:
Third Wave
A fantastic place to gather your info from a trusted, reliable, research-based source. Featuring countless interviews and discussions with the world’s leading experts and doctors.
These incredible psychedelic podcasts cover a wide range of chemicals and the ways to approach them safely. The third wave is rooted in psychedelic philosophy and explores the ever-evolving safe practices.
They also have an extremely valuable website displaying all their work & partnerships.

Third Wave: Psychedelics & Microdosing Education – Third Wave
LowKey Fish
Jeremy Fish is an amazing creator who draws on his personal experiences and curiosity. Offering in-depth, well-researched reviews of many psychedelic substances.
Lots of Jeremy’s videos have helped me deepen my understanding of some taboo corners of learning, sometimes touching on lesser-known practices that I see very few speak about.
He also provides a lot of input and reviews on nootropics and supplements that’ll help your brain function at its best efficiency.

Stepping away from the independent content creator and moving to the bigger peddlers of worldwide change. Psychedelic creators of another kind. (These cool cats don’t really need an intro, but I’ll attempt to give them one anyway)
Josh Kesselman (Raw Papers)
Should this man be atop the Mount Rushmore of stoner pioneers/inventors? The Willy Wonka of cannabis is more than worthy.
Since inventing Raw Papers and blessing the lungs of smokers worldwide, Josh has never stopped innovating. A truly passionate guy who continues to peddle positive change within the cannabis industry. Enthusiastic energy & exercising the lord’s work is what Josh has been bringing to the world for over 20 years.
Josh’s YouTube channel is a dominant place for him to showcase his new inventions, his enthusiastic antics, and all the education a master may have to teach.
StrainHunters
Much like our last entry, if you consume cannabis and haven’t heard of these guys, well i’ll be damn thundershocked.
For almost 20 years now, the people at StrainHunters have been embarking on expeditions all around the world, tracking down rare and vulnerable landraces.
They continue to provide the world with fantastically free documentaries and remain at the forefront of educating the world on these matters.
Maybe you’ve smoked in their coffee shops? Have you heard about their discoveries? Either way, you should be watching their killer documentaries.

Paul Stamets
Often referred to as the Mushroom Man, Paul Stamets is a renowned mycologist, author and entrepreneur who continues to give his best efforts for the betterment of humanity. His exploration of fungi, be it magical or not, has been an invaluable treasure to this world.
Throughout his amazing channel, you’ll find delights such as mushroom talks, lectures, interviews, and discussions of many trippy complexities a curious mushroom enthusiast might encounter.
Paul will always have a special place in my heart, as we shared a parallel struggle. In Paul’s youth, he struggled with a severe stutter, which was later eradicated by a psilocybin mushroom experience.
I had these same struggles, although mushrooms found me at a much later date after the main bulk of my stutter had faded. (Still, I’ve found psilocybin very useful in navigating the difficulties left behind by my childhood experience, and cannabis even more so!)
I feel this shows how much mushrooms have to offer and how much remains to be discovered in reaping their benefits.
Paul has already given so much to the world through conversations and publications on fungal topics and will no doubt continue to do so.
Hamilton Morris
One of the most influential and important figures among psychedelic topics today. A great explorer and problem solver in this field. A man who has dedicated his life to chemistry and put his knowledge into great action.
Most people might know him from his legendary Vice pharmacology series, which is scattered all around YouTube. But his personal YouTube channel holds the same weight and maybe even more value.
Tackling a wide range of chemical issues and exploration, most of which you can find free of charge on YouTube. But I feel the real value of his work will be displayed across his Patreon.

We Plants Are Happy Plants
I don’t think any collection of psychedelic creators & philosophies would be truly complete without Terence McKenna.
This is the ultimate archive. Featuring his full-length movies, long lectures, and any other rare archive that’s been transferred to this millennium.
You could probably listen to nothing but Terence’s talks for 2 weeks non-stop and still have videos left. Truly a master collection of one of the greatest psychedelic proponents in history.
Besides the shrine to the late great Terence McKenna, the fantastic person behind this channel showcases their musical gifts, an alchemically electronic music project, providing some spiritual vibes with some unbelievably awesome visuals. Whoever makes those visuals is a damn wizard.
