Summary

This week on Dopey! More from the Park City Song Summit! We are joined by my new friend, painter, performance artist and hippy, John Bukaty. John lays it down on his journey from childhood trauma to Artist to High School Football and how he ended up a crazy drug taking hippy painter doing high end performance art in the mountains of Colorado. PLUS John's recovery his take on psychedelics and more! ALSO: The Return of Ray Brown, the return of ISMAEL, the return of the Dopey Dane and MORE on this brand new episode of the good ol Dopey Show.   More about Dopey: Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. Chris and I were two IV heroin addicts who loved to talk about all the coke we smoked, snorted and shot, all the pills we ate, smoked, all the weed we smoked and ate, all the booze we consumed and all the consequences we suffered. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery. We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism. We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery. We shine a light on harm reduction and medication assisted treatment. We talk with celebrities and nobodies and stockpile stories to be the greatest one stop shop podcast on all things drugs, addiction, recovery and comedy!
