We all know it can't be refunded. The only thing we ca...

PATRON EARLY ACCESS: Q&A 2020

Normally this is where I embed the video - but it's not letting me do that right now. Not sure what's going on. You'll have to follow this link: https://vimeo.com/459804294/4d1105c93d to watch it on Vimeo instead.

Hopefully they get this bug fixed for next time. Enjoy guys! 

EARLY ACCESS: I Ate LSD or Shrooms Everyday for 5 Months

Hands down the best video I have created in over 5 months. A lot of work went into this one. Please let me know below what you enjoyed most or didn't really like about it. The feedback from you all (my Patrons) is the most valuable feedback of all to me. Thank you <3

As a thank you, all of you will receive EARLY access to our 2 million subscriber special that is being released to the public later today. The video is currently uploading and as soon as it's finished I will post it here.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Forgot to mention in the video: We are going to do another patron-only draw! I saved a few of the limited edition Black hoodies (+ white ones) and of course some trip blankets just for you guys :)

Unfortunately we have to wait till this virus stuff blows over, since shipping to certain countries is extremely difficult at the moment. Fingers crossed this changes soon.

Anyway, if I...

HOODIE DRAW WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

More draws coming soon! Particularly for our super-soft-hooded-mushroom-blanket that will be available for pre-order next. 

To enter the next draw all you have to do is be a patron (pledge as little as $2) and watch out for my post titled "Enter Name Here To Be In Draw." Type in your name, hit enter, and wa...

ENTER DRAW BELOW TO WIN HOODIE!!! (Patrons Only)

Initially I was just going to write down every Patrons name, toss it in a hat, and draw one in a super intense Patron Only live video feed --- but then I realized we have 1600 Patrons... that's a lot of names to write down. Not to mention a lot of you guys aren't active on here, so you may never see that you've won.

If you want to be apart of the raffle then please write your name below, ...

Patron Sneak Peak!

Initially I had planned for this to be released this past Saturday - but life did not permit it. Not only is this a screen shot to give you guys a sneak peak of PsychedSubstance returning to old form - it's also an example of how I currently feel hahahah. 

Sometimes (always) these episodes take longer than I initially expect to complete. Anyway, as stated in my last update, this is a...

THE BIGGEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER MADE!

Hey guys, I just want to thank everyone for their continued support this month which allows "PsychedSubstance" to stay active on challenging platforms like The YouTube!

AND I wanted to keep my promise that you guys get special treatment by filling you in on some big projects that are in the works :) 

By the end of this week you're going to see a rather interesting "return to fo...

LSD TRIP SIMULATION: "PATRON-ONLY BONUS FOOTAGE"

As promised, here is the Patron Only footage! I hope you enjoy. No one has ever seen most of this footage before and it really does give you a much more candid look into our experience.

Let me know if you'd like to see more stuff like this! I also have a ton of the failed run throughs of the varying effects I tried to perfect for the video. If you guys are interested I can put a video to...

Immediate Changes in Effect Due to "Patron Only" content

Hey guys, 

I just launched the Patron Only footage from '2C-BeatSaber' and I'm pleased you are enjoying it so far! However, it has already brought to the surface a new, big problem.

Simply put: People are signing up to watch the video, and then as soon as they see it, they are removing their pledge. 

Due to Patreon only charging at the end of the month, it's possib...

2C-BeatSaber Patron ONLY Bonus Footage!

The first of many! I will now be releasing bonus content that only you guys get to see :) 

I know some of you mentioned you didn't want any perks, but this is really the least I can do as a thank you for your generous support.

I hope you guys enjoy!

- Adam 

p.s. please note that bonus content will not be created for every video post. It will be reserved pr...

Behind The Scenes Content!

Hey guys, in the most recent video that went live about 5 minutes ago (lol) I mentioned signing up to Patreon for behind the scenes footage thanks to some of your recommendations! The BTS scenes from the current video are already completed, however I had no time to upload. I'm currently traveling with Simon from Open Mind (German drug channel) shooting some videos so I had to put a few things on h...

What do you guys want to see?

I forgot to mention this in my last post: staying in line with being fully transparent, I have temporarily changed our monthly earnings to 'private' from the public. For some reason there is no way to make it public to Patrons only. We are currently at $6400 (for those who care).

I now have employees to pay and I wanted to see if it would help us get more new sign ups. (it's an ...

ANIMATOR HIRED - SIMULATED TRIPS COMING!

I have gone and changed this goal to "completed" (even though it technically isn't) because I've hired an animator regardless. This is one of the projects we are currently working on. I don't want to hype these up, but Mike does incredible work! I cannot wait for you guys to see what we have in store.

The reason I jumped the gun is because YouTube has been giving me a lot of hassle lately (my st...

Seeking Editor + Update on Future Sponsors

After my last post and personally speaking with some of you guys, I've come to a more balanced decision: I will never accept video sponsorships from companies which I believe to be unethical, but I do admit it's a bit silly to not accept a sponsorship just because it's a service I wouldn't personally use. Not everyone is like me. And as long as I am clear and 100% honest during a shout out - I see...

Ugh, I can't do it.

Guys, I'm struggling with my moral compass here. I just HAD to research the company that I'd be doing the shout for in more detail, didn't I? I can't help it, researching is kinda' my thing. At first glance it all looked good. But in reality, after some digging, it's not something I would personally support. Thank goodness I did more research! I would have been beyond upset if I found this ou...

20 More Down. What Am I Going To Do About It?

Well guys, it's come to a point that I never thought I would see! Or at least I hoped I wouldn't see hahaha. It appears YouTube is really gunning for me this time. The hypocrisy is real. Channels like "Buzzfeed" or "CUT" have dozens, maybe even hundreds of videos depicting alcohol use or people smoking cannabis on camera for entertainment -- 

BUT I cannot have a single video that documents ...

40 Videos Removed... And you guys are AWESOME!!!

Since sharing yesterday that my channel is experiencing a crisis and in limbo due to what is clearly a directed personal attack - I am sincerely overwhelmed with the amount of support you've all shown! You have no idea what this means to me. Thank you everyone! I am hoping this situation resolves in a positive way over the coming days/weeks. I will keep everyone updated and I will stay optimistic ...

Heavily Requested Video Releasing Tomorrow!

I want to thank you guys for both your patience and the increased patronage as of recently! When this damn T-Shirt shop finally opens I'm going to do some sort of "give away" especially for patrons :) 

Tomorrows video is one that's taken me longer than I expected to put together. I anticipated it w...

Thank You + UPDATE!

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who took the time to give me your input! I really do appreciate it. Some of the video suggestions you guys had for me are things I would have never thought of on my own.

Secondly, I am pleased to let you know that I've begun working on a couple of the concepts you guys suggested.

I don't want to say which ones yet, it will be a surprise. But ...

Looking for Suggestions!

First off I am going to be posting a lot more on Patreon than I have in the past. I've always been meaning to be more interactive with all of you, but considering we recently added the new addition of our son to the family... yeah I don't think I really need explaining. A new baby is a ton of work.

I've also never told you guys that because my partner works a more traditional job and she do...

Important Update!

As some of you may have noticed, I have been uploading less frequently than in the past. My average has been 2-3 videos per month on PsychedSubstance, and about 1-2 videos per month on Swim.

The truth is, I've actually been pouring more hours than I ever have before into each new episode. The scripts have been taking more time (for the scenes that have scripts) and the editing (+FX) has bee...

Next Video + Patreon Update!

Hello everyone, first and foremost we are extremely close to hitting the $5000 goal here on Patreon! I  couldn't have done this without you all (clearly lol)  and I am totally blown away that we are so, so close to reaching this goal.

I know Patreon may say we've already reached it, and many of you have gotten an email stating we have reached it, but these numbers are not...

Wowowow!

I wake up this morning. Log into my computer. And I see, "You have 270 New Patrons."

...absolutely incredible. Thank you guys!!!! I will be making a video update in a couple days on the youtube situation and everyones incredibly generous response to it all. Just know, I'm currently at a loss for words. I never, ever, expected this type of a response! I'm blown away. You are all fucking ama...

This Weeks Video:

Hey guys,

The video I've been working on for this weeks release has required at least 5 times as much work as my regular uploads.

I'm very excited about this video, but due to the large workload I have not been able to complete it in time to release it yet. 

I hope you all enjoy the video once it's finished!

Thank you for your support everyone :)
