Full Episodes on PAtreon without ADS: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast On this very special Wednesday Dose of Dopey, Dave remembers two beloved members of the Dopey Nation: Annie Ellie and Brian “Hot Wheels” Connolly. First, we revisit Dave's conversation with Annie—a radiant, hilarious force in the community who helped bring people together through Dopey Zoom. Annie shares her journey from England's rave scene and recreational heroin use to opium dens in Laos, backstage chaos with Oasis, years of addiction, and finally finding recovery through NA and the Dopey Nation. Then we return to Brian “Hot Wheels” Connolly's unforgettable appearances with Dave and Chris. Brian tells the devastating story of breaking his neck after diving through a frozen pond, learning to inject heroin despite quadriplegia, and struggling to build a meaningful life in recovery. In an especially painful moment, Brian calls Dopey while craving heroin—and Chris helps talk him through the night. It's an episode about grief, community, relapse, survival, and the people whose lives continue to matter after they are gone. And MORE!   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Atze gewöhnt sich so langsam daran, im hohen Norden auch mal ne Regenjacke mit einzupacken. Pitschnass saß er im Wartezimmer beim Zahnarzt und zitterte wie ein Pinscher. Sein erster Gedanke: Das gönne ich meiner Perle. Sie hätte mir ja auch ne Jacke anziehen können.Interessanter jedoch ist, dass Cristine Neubauer ihr Liebesnest auf Mallorca verkaufen will. Aber wie muss man sich so ein Zentrum der Lust vorstellen? Wird dort Opium geraucht? Hängen dort Seiltänzerin am endlosen Trapez? Das alles kann in deutschen Bahnhöfen jetzt nicht mehr passieren, denn es gibt Alkoholverbot und somit kommen auch die Züge wieder pünktlich an.

Are We Heading Toward Another False Messiah?Finding Moshiach: An emotional search for the Jewish Messiah. Berel Solomon Interviews Rabbi YY Jacobson. Is Moshiach another crutch for those of us in pain? An opium for the masses? And if life is decent and functional, why should I even yearn for it? Understanding the true meaning of exile and redemption, and how we will know who Moshiach is.

In this episode of Church History Matters, hosts Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths continue their exploration of politics and religion by examining some of the most challenging and fascinating chapters of Latter-day Saint history. Together they explore how political pressures, party loyalties, and national events shaped the Church and its members during the nineteenth century. The discussion begins with the difficult subject of slavery in early Utah Territory, examining how Utah's territorial laws reflected the complicated political realities of the era and how Church leaders navigated an increasingly divided United States. Scott and Casey then turn to the unique political system that developed in Utah, explaining the origins of the People's Party and the Liberal Party, why they dominated territorial politics for decades, and why Church leaders ultimately encouraged their dissolution so Latter-day Saints could participate in the nation's two major political parties—the Democrats and Republicans. The episode also takes an in-depth look at the remarkable story of Apostle Moses Thatcher. Once one of the Church's most gifted leaders, Thatcher's struggles with chronic illness, reliance on opium-based medications, growing political independence, and refusal to sign the Church's Political Manifesto placed him at odds with fellow Church leaders. His eventual release from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles remains one of the most significant intersections of faith, politics, and personal conviction in Latter-day Saint history. How should religious organizations interact with political movements? What lessons can modern believers learn from these historical experiences? And what does this history teach us about balancing civic engagement with religious devotion? Join Scott and Casey as they explore these important questions and uncover the historical context behind one of the most politically complex periods in Church history. In this episode you'll learn: • Why the People's Party and Liberal Party emerged—and why they disappeared. • How Utah transitioned into the national Democratic and Republican parties. • The life, political views, and challenges of Apostle Moses Thatcher. • The role of the Political Manifesto and its impact on Church leadership. • Lessons about religion, politics, and faithful citizenship that continue to resonate today.

Annemieke Bosman praat met schrijver en dichter Maarten van der Graaff over zijn bundel Huishoudboekje van de verborgen dingen. Hiermee won hij in mei de prijs van de Opium publieksjury tijdens de uitreiking van De Grote Poëzieprijs. Onlangs won Maarten van der Graaff de prestigieuze Frans Kellendonkprijs. De jury schreef: ‘In zijn proza blinkt Van der Graaff bovendien uit in puntige zinnen die als impressionistische verftoetsen hele werelden tot leven brengen. Het oeuvre van Van der Graaff is verwelkomend, uitnodigend, misschien zelfs radicaal gastvrij; een feest voor lezers om in te verblijven.'

“Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty Opium!”Though apparently presenting the reader with a collage of poignant memories, temporal digressions and random anecdotes, the Confessions is a work of immense sophistication and certainly one of the most impressive and influential of all autobiographies. The work is of great appeal to the contemporary reader, displaying a nervous (postmodern?) self-awareness, a spiralling obsession with the enigmas of its own composition and significance. De Quincey may be said to scrutinise his life, somewhat feverishly, in an effort to fix his own identity.The title seems to promise a graphic exposure of horrors; these passages do not make up a large part of the whole. The circumstances of its hasty composition sets up the work as a lucrative piece of sensational journalism, albeit published in a more intellectually respectable organ – the London Magazine – than are today's tawdry exercises in tabloid self-exposure. What makes the book technically remarkable is its use of a majestic neoclassical style applied to a very romantic species of confessional writing - self-reflexive but always reaching out to the Reader.

What if fragrance is far more than something you wear? What if it is a portal to memory, a confidence tool, a personal signature and one of the most powerful ways we shape how we feel? In this deeply personal conversation, Kate Waterhouse and Bahar Etminan explore the emotional power of scent and the role fragrance plays throughout our lives. From treasured memories of mothers and grandmothers to iconic perfumes that defined entire generations, they unpack why scent remains one of the strongest emotional triggers we experience.

Whether it's the nostalgia of a beloved perfume from your twenties or the comfort of a fragrance that feels uniquely yours, this episode explores why scent is so much more than what we smell. About This Episode Most women underestimate the invisible power fragrance has on mood, confidence and presence. In this captivating conversation, Kate Waterhouse shares the scents that have shaped her life, from childhood memories and iconic 90s fragrances to the perfumes she wears today. Along the way, she and Bahar explore the fascinating relationship between scent, memory and emotion, and the science behind why fragrance can instantly transport us to another place and time.

Founded in 2019 by Atlanta rapper Playboi Carti, the Opium record label has rapidly evolved from a niche imprint into a defining cultural movement within modern underground hip-hop. The collective—which prominently features core artists Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang—is renowned for pioneering an aggressive, avant-garde "rage rap" subgenre that fuses dark, gritty trap beats with the rebellious, distorted energy of '70s and '80s punk rock. Beyond their sonic influence, Opium has established a massive, cult-like global fanbase driven by a distinct, non-conformist aesthetic characterized by all-black street style, leather boots, and heavy metal imagery. By continuously turning highly anticipated releases into major cultural milestones, Opium has redefined the boundary between underground rap and mainstream fashion, securing its legacy as one of the most influential creative ecosystems of the current era.  

Die Toten Hosen gehen auf große Abschiedstour. In dieser Folge ehren wir deshalb die Düsseldorfer Punkband und sprechen über das legendäre Konzeptalbum "Opium fürs Volk" von 1996. Dazu gehören auch Hits wie "Bonnie & Clyde" und "Paradies". Als die Toten Hosen im Frühjahr 2026 ihre Tour "Trink aus! Wir müssen gehen" ankündigen, ahnen viele Fans schon, dass es sich um einen Abschied handelt. Für die Meilensteine-Redaktion stand fest: Es wird Zeit, die Jungs rund um Leadsänger Campino zu ehren. Nur mit welchem Album? In unserem Online-Voting habt ihr euch für "Opium fürs Volk" entschieden. Es ist im selben Jahr wie "Le Frisur" von Die Ärzte erschienen – und ebenfalls ein Konzeptalbum. Einer, der Die Toten Hosen nicht nur kennt, sondern auch gut mit ihnen befreundet ist, ist Ingo Knollmann von den Donots. Als Podcastgast in dieser Folge erzählt er, dass die Hosen sein allererstes Konzert waren und ihn dazu inspiriert haben, eine eigene Band zu gründen. 1996 waren Die Toten Hosen auf dem bis dato Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere. Mit dem Album "Kauf mich!" erreichten sie Platz eins der deutschen Albumcharts und mussten sich mit der Frage herumschlagen, ob ihre Musik überhaupt noch Punk sei. Sie hatten aber auch ihr eigenes Label gegründet und damit neue Freiheiten gewonnen. Mit "Opium fürs Volk" schlug die Band eine klare Richtung ein: mehr hin zum Stadionrock – und man könnte auch vorsichtig sagen, dass sie dem Mainstream ein Stück näher gekommen sind. Das Konzept fürs Album entwickelte Sänger Campino, nachdem er auf Einladung des Abts Stephan Schröder eine Woche im Benediktinerabtei Königsmünster verbracht hatte. Campino nimmt dort am klösterlichen Leben teil und beschäftigt und sich mit den großen Fragen des Lebens – kein Wunder also, dass der Albumtitel von einem Zitat des Philosophen Karl Marx inspiriert ist. Klar wird der religiöse Bezug direkt auf dem Opener, "Vaterunser", der das wichtigste Gebet der Christen aufgreift und auch wie ein Gebet klingt. Für viele Punk-Fans war das sicherlich ein gewöhnungsbedürftiger Einstieg. Wer sich davon nicht abschrecken lässt und tiefer ins Album einsteigt, erkennt, dass zwischen der Religions- und Gesellschaftskritik jede Menge Selbstironie steckt. Während in "Und so weiter" deutsche Spießer und ihre Faulheit aufs Korn genommen werden, erlebt das Gangsterpaar in "Bonnie & Clyde" ein Abenteuer nach dem anderen – zumindest stellen sie es sich so vor. Man kann den Song als Hymne für Punks und Gangster interpretieren oder eben daraus schließen, dass alles nur eine Fantasie ist. Genau das zeichnet laut Ingo Knollmann die Toten Hosen aus: "Die Hosen sind in ihrer Art auch Punk, aber eben nicht dieses Brutale, dieses Aggressive. [...] Und das macht es dann auch aus, warum sie wirklich für viele so hörbar sind und auch Campino als Mensch so interessant und sympathisch ist." Neben den verschiedenen Themen und Lebensfragen, die auf dem Album behandelt werden, ist auch die Musik, die zu hören ist, "bemerkenswert vielseitig", findet Host Frank König. Gregorianische Gesänge teilen sich auf dem Album einen Platz mit Dudelsack, Flöten, Streicher, Synthesizer, Punk, Folk, Rock und Reggae. Und diese Mischung, die von einem religiösen roten Faden, durchzogen ist, geht auf. "Opium fürs Volk" gehört zu den meistverkauften Alben in Deutschland, erreichte Platz eins der deutschen Charts und wurde noch im Jahr der Veröffentlichung mit einer Goldenen und einer Platin-Schallplatte ausgezeichnet. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Opium fürs Volk" sprechen wir im Podcast (15:49) – "Vaterunser"(23:44) – "Und so weiter"(26:51) – "Bonnie & Clyde"(36:18) – "Paradies"(43:04) – "Viva la revolution"(47:35) – "10 kleine Jägermeister"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "Opium fürs Volk" findet ihr hier: https://x.swr.de/s/dietotenhosenopiumfuersvolk __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

A century ago, the drug had a dark, smoky allure for the 'fast' young men and women of Oregon cities, and smuggling routes through Portland were supplying the entire West Coast with the exotic, deadly stuff. (Portland, Multnomah County; 1890s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1402a.opium-culture-portland-urban-underworld.html)

As demand for opium drops, farmers in Shan State are finding the harvests to be less profitable than they once were, but they also face challenges growing and selling alternative crops.

By the end of the 1880s, Dunbar was one of the most respected and influential members of Portland's business community, and a member of the Arlington Club. But all was not well with him. It's not clear what happened to push Dunbar over the edge into industrial-scale criminal enterprise. It may have been the death of his wife. It may also have been the influence of Nat Blum, a flamboyant cigar-store owner who was a junior partner in Merchants Steamship Co. Or maybe he was criminally inclined all along, believing on a philosophical level that the U.S. government had no right to tell him what he could and could not do with his steamships. Or, maybe he just hated waste. After all, nobody in Portland was buying shiploads of Chinese goods; each time one of his steamships left Portland, loaded with grain bound for buyers in China, it had to sail back home in ballast. Not only was the return trip wasted, but Dunbar had to pay draymen to load and unload the ballast rocks that would keep the ship stable and safe. We can imagine him thinking about this: What cargo could I bring from China to Portland, on the return voyages, after bringing wheat from Portland to China? And we can imagine him realizing that there were two cargoes that would be extremely lucrative for him: People, and opium. (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/22-12.blum-dunbar-opium-smugglers-616.html)

The problem with smuggling opium back in the 1890s was, although the stuff was still legal, it was taxed very heavily. That meant smuggling the stuff in without paying the tax was tantamount to stealing money from the government. And the government, as always, took money very seriously ... so if you were going to smuggle it, you needed a real cracker-jack team. And the Blum-Dunbar gang was a lot of things, but 'cracker-jack' — or even just 'competent' — wasn't one of them. (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2408a-1202d.james-lotan-opium-king-661.161.html)

ONE OF THE most significant events in the history of the world took place in 1892, when a corrupt political hack named James Lotan managed to land a cushy government job as the head of the customs inspection service for the Port of Portland. Believe it or not, Lotan's landing that job led directly to Pearl Harbor and eventually Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and indirectly to the defeat of Nazi Germany in Europe. Not bad for a small-time white-collar criminal in a tiny backwater seaport town on the far side of the world, eh? I realize you may be a bit skeptical of this claim. Bear with me while I unpack it and prove it to you, along with the strong possibility that most of us owe our lives and the continued existence of human civilization to James Lotan and the sleazy little band of well-heeled drug smugglers and human traffickers who worked with and for him, on the Portland waterfront in the early 1890s....

Markets of Pain offers a sweeping history of the business of licit opium--following cultivators, merchants, scientists, and policymakers--and shows how this potent crop reshaped global trade, medicine, and geopolitics. For centuries, opium has been a source of both profit and peril, its legacy entangled with addiction, imperialism, and the complex interplay of global trade and national development. While the illicit opium trade is infamous, the history of licit opium--how it was farmed, refined, and used to build modern medicine and shape state power--has remained largely untold.Drawing on archival sources from Asia, Europe, and the United States, Markets of Pain: Opium, Capitalism, and the Global History of Painkillers (Oxford UP, 2026) traces the global arc of licit opium from poppy fields and processing plants in India, Turkey, and Australia to the clinics and laboratories of modern medicine. It shows how both the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic treated the opium poppy as a national resource and a means of securing global stature. In postcolonial India, by contrast, nationalist leaders initially rejected opium's imperial legacy before embracing its strategic value amid the shifting currents of the Cold War. At the heart of this story are the cultivators, scientists, bureaucrats, and policymakers who shaped the licit opium trade and grappled with its far-reaching consequences. Their work and visions demonstrate how colonial empires and postcolonial states helped forge the global pharmaceutical industry as it struggled to govern a drug it could not abandon.Markets of Pain reveals how a seemingly marginal crop became an unlikely engine of modernization, a tool of Cold War geopolitics, and a harbinger of today's global opioid crisis. Blending vivid scenes from opium's fields and factories with incisive analysis of scientific and diplomatic archives, Benjamin Robert Siegel recovers a buried history with urgent relevance for global supply chains, international power, and public health. Markets of Pain offers an account of the global drug trade in the twentieth century, focusing on the transformation of opium from a colonial commodity into a modern resource for the American and European pharmaceutical industries. Challenging simplistic ideas of licit and illicit drugs in the twentieth century, it reveals how the modern global drug regime was formed by India and Turkey's navigation of the international anti-opium movement, the rise of the pharmaceutical industry, and the complex relationship between agriculture, medicine, and global capitalism.

Markets of Pain offers a sweeping history of the business of licit opium--following cultivators, merchants, scientists, and policymakers--and shows how this potent crop reshaped global trade, medicine, and geopolitics. For centuries, opium has been a source of both profit and peril, its legacy entangled with addiction, imperialism, and the complex interplay of global trade and national development. While the illicit opium trade is infamous, the history of licit opium--how it was farmed, refined, and used to build modern medicine and shape state power--has remained largely untold.Drawing on archival sources from Asia, Europe, and the United States, Markets of Pain: Opium, Capitalism, and the Global History of Painkillers (Oxford UP, 2026) traces the global arc of licit opium from poppy fields and processing plants in India, Turkey, and Australia to the clinics and laboratories of modern medicine. It shows how both the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic treated the opium poppy as a national resource and a means of securing global stature. In postcolonial India, by contrast, nationalist leaders initially rejected opium's imperial legacy before embracing its strategic value amid the shifting currents of the Cold War. At the heart of this story are the cultivators, scientists, bureaucrats, and policymakers who shaped the licit opium trade and grappled with its far-reaching consequences. Their work and visions demonstrate how colonial empires and postcolonial states helped forge the global pharmaceutical industry as it struggled to govern a drug it could not abandon.Markets of Pain reveals how a seemingly marginal crop became an unlikely engine of modernization, a tool of Cold War geopolitics, and a harbinger of today's global opioid crisis. Blending vivid scenes from opium's fields and factories with incisive analysis of scientific and diplomatic archives, Benjamin Robert Siegel recovers a buried history with urgent relevance for global supply chains, international power, and public health. Markets of Pain offers an account of the global drug trade in the twentieth century, focusing on the transformation of opium from a colonial commodity into a modern resource for the American and European pharmaceutical industries.

How long has America been dealing with Opiod Epidemics?  If you said - since the 1860's you get a piece of Hardtack!Yes - just as war came up with more destructive weapons, the medical profession came up with the hypodermic syringe.  While the ability to inject and extract things with this tool have been largely amazing, it also brought in the addictive rush of injected drugs.  And one of the first injected drugs was opium.Even crazier than that was the fact the the US Government contracted with Chinese Immigrant farmers in Mexico to grow a large part of the supply of opium used in the war.America has always used drugs to make America go - has depended on the sale of drugs - nicotine and cafffeine for starters - to make American farmig profitable.Come find out about America's strange relationship with drugs - and how much we seem to not want to talk about it.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 7! Our guest today is Lydia Kang, a professor, medical doctor, and acclaimed author, Her latest book is K-Jane, and it's the story of Jane Choi, a typical Nebraskan teen who loves Husker football and is a total banana.

From K-pop to K-dramas, through Korean Food and Language, and pretty much K-everything, Jane immerses herself in it. Released on October 21, 2025, K-Jame was received a Starred Kirk's Review and was selected as a Kirkus Best Young Adult Book of 2025. Lydia writes young adult fiction, adult fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. The practicing physician and associate professor of Internal Medicine has also gained a reputation for helping fellow writers with their medical accuracy in their writing.  Her previous work includes Opium and Absinthe, Star Wars: Cataclysm, The November Girl, and Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything (one of your favorite nonfiction books).

Kate Rowe's life has been full of wild adventures and hard living. But when she found sobriety, Kate discovered something big about herself. CW: This story contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault and some strong language. Please take care when listening.Ever since she stepped off the boat at Circular Quay as a 20-something 10-pound Pom, Kate has run fearlessly toward outrageous adventure.As a young woman Kate travelled around Australia picking tobacco, hitchhiking and sometimes spent her weekends running riot in Kings Cross.Then in 1974, she tagged along with some random guys she'd met who wanted to walk across the island of Timor. From there, Kate ventured into South-East Asia, where she began smuggling bricks of cannabis from Thailand into Nepal.But everywhere she went, Kate took herself with her, and so all kinds of baggage from her early life came along for the wild ride.Eventually a cloud lifted, and when Kate found sobriety she realised something big about herself.Content Warning: This story contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault and some strong language. Please take care when listening.How the F*ck Would I Know is published by Power Writers Publishing Group and can be found online.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Let's talk honestly about constipation—what's truly normal, what's not, and how to get back to regular without relying on harsh laxatives. We break down the real signs of constipation beyond just “skipping days,” including hard, dry stools, straining, incomplete emptying, or no urge at all, and we map those patterns to targeted homeopathic remedies that support the body rather than forcing it.We walk through practical matches: Nux vomica for tense, irritable, stressed-out “always urging, never empty” patterns; Bryonia for dryness and pain that worsen with movement; Alumina when there's no urge and sluggish bowels; Silica for the “bashful stool” that slips back in; Opium for severe sluggishness after anesthesia or medications; Calc Carb for slow metabolism and large, painful stools, especially in kids; and Lycopodium for afternoon bloating, trapped gas, and IBS-like discomfort. Along the way, we share how to choose potencies and frequency with a light, sensible touch.Beyond remedies, we dig into the everyday shifts that make a big difference: choosing the right magnesium and pairing it with Mag phos, staying truly hydrated, using warm lemon water to prime digestion, and leaning on fruit like prunes, pears, kiwi, and berries. Movement matters more than most people realize, so we offer simple ideas—from walking to gentle squats—to nudge peristalsis. Parents will find guidance for easing fear and withholding in kids with kindness and flexible strategies.We also flag when to seek medical input: blood in stool, severe pain, more than five days without a bowel movement, unexplained weight loss, or recurring episodes. Most of all, we connect the dots between elimination and whole-body health—mood, skin, energy—so you can move from coping to confident. If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs relief, and leave a quick review so more people can find these practical tools.You may also gain Access to my Fullscript dispensary and save 30% by going to: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/mcrenshawFIND ME!

www.patreon.con/dopeypodcastThis Week on Dopey! I'm in Philly at the Rise for Recovery Conference! I was on Soft White Underbelly! I read Spotify comments, and one of the single greatest dopey emails ever! And Old School Dopey Kirby sends in a voicemail about what it means to be an addict. Then we welcome the incredible Roddy Bottum, keyboardist for Faith No More and lead singer/guitar of Imperial Teen, and author of his new book, The Royal We. Roddy talks about growing up gay in a hard-rock world, his early San Francisco punk days, and how Courtney Love briefly joined Faith No More before their friendship and drug use turned dark. He remembers touring with the Chili Peppers, getting arrested for weed, experimenting with heroin, and being surrounded by chaos as Faith No More blew up with “Epic.”Roddy opens up about how addiction and grief collided — the deaths of his friend Cliff, Kurt Cobain, and especially his father, who died of cancer soon after Roddy got sober. He and Dave talk about recovery, guilt, and the weirdness of surviving when so many others didn't. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
