Noah Levine: Acid at 10, Juvenile Hall, Meditation, Refuge Recovery & a Burning Getaway Car and JEREMY

Summary:

Episode summary

Dave checks in from California with Jeremy for a conversation about modern weed, absurdly powerful dispensary products, Jeremy’s torn Achilles, the Knicks championship and Dave’s potentially revolutionary Katz’s “Karubin.”

Then Dopey replays Episode 43 with author and Refuge Recovery founder Noah Levine. Noah talks about growing up around Buddhism, trauma and drugs; taking mushrooms at ten; becoming addicted as a teenager; attempting suicide in juvenile hall; and discovering meditation while locked inside a padded cell.

Chris wrestles with psychedelics in sobriety, prepares for a ten-day silent meditation retreat and asks whether it’s possible to mindfully shoot heroin. Noah also delivers an all-time Dopey story involving cocaine, stolen Rolexes, a brakeless car, an e-brake turn in the rain and a burning getaway vehicle.

Afterward, Dave and Chris discuss fallen spiritual teachers, sex, hypocrisy and abusing positions of power. They finish with a listener’s insane story about introducing a Chinese exchange student to the “American tradition” of buying heroin—and accidentally abandoning him at Outback Steakhouse.
