Tuesday Patreon Teaser: Gas Station Heroin: Kratom, Withdrawal & Losing Everything with Heart Attack Doug
from Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction · host Dave & Chris
DopeyWood Tickets: https://www.showclix.com/event/dopeywood-2026 FULL SHOW ON PATREONL www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast ON THE TEASER: Heart Attack Doug AGAIN! For a chaotic Tuesday episode filled with tangents about music, meetings, and listener feedback. The tone shifts when Dave reads a detailed email from a listener addicted to 7-OH, a potent kratom extract sold in gas stations. What starts as a mild experiment quickly escalates into full dependence, with increasing tolerance, daily use in the hundreds of milligrams, financial strain, secrecy, and failed attempts to quit—even with Suboxone. Dave and Doug react with concern, noting the growing number of similar stories and questioning how such substances are widely available. They emphasize treatment, honesty, and community support, while pushing back against stigma—highlighting that addiction can take many forms, regardless of the substance.
