Hidden Drugs and Harm Reduction: A Dopey Journey
I feel like we should know this as the co-hosts of the biggest heroin podcast in the world.
Imagine the lengths people go to hide their stash. In this episode of 'Dopey', hosts Dave and Chris dive into the bizarre world of hiding drugs in, let's say, unconventional places. They kick things off with two voice memos that share a common, if not uncomfortable, theme: hiding drugs in the rectum. Tim from Philly recounts how he used to stash heroin and Xanax up his butt every time he left the house, fearing arrest and withdrawal in jail.
Jason from Ontario shares a tale of a traffic stop where his dealer hid Dilaudid in a similar fashion, leading to an escape and, naturally, Jason consuming the drugs later on. But it's not all about shocking stories. Dave and Chris take a deep dive into harm reduction and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). They debate the pros and cons of these approaches to addiction treatment, pondering which might be more effective for different individuals.
If you're curious about the philosophy behind harm reduction or MAT, this episode offers some thought-provoking perspectives. The conversation then takes a surprising turn to the topic of bitcoin. The hosts reflect on the volatile nature of cryptocurrency, sharing anecdotes about their own experiences and whether it's worth investing in. This episode isn't just about wild stories and investment tips, though.
Dave opens up about his personal journey with suboxone, a medication that helped him regain control over his life after struggling with addiction and alcoholism. His candid reflections offer hope and encouragement to those on similar paths. Wrapping up, Dave and Chris stress the importance of respecting everyone's unique journey to recovery. They remind us that each person's process is different, and it's crucial not to pass judgment.
So, if you're looking for an episode that's equal parts shocking, informative, and heartfelt, this one's for you.
