For most of Leonard Lee Buschel's life, he smoked his breakfast, drank his lunch, and snorted his dinner. He spent 25 years in his chosen profession as a drug dealer, including some hair-raising hijinks, adventure, and near-disaster across international and state lines. In his 50s, he finally hit rock bottom and got sober. Now, he is a leader in the recovery field, cofounding with Robert Downey Sr. the REEL Recovery Film Festival. Tune in and hear not only Leonard's whale of a tale chronicled in his new book, 'HIGH, Confessions of a Cannabis Addict' but also just how alive he feels now that he's no longer HIGH!
