Phil Lesh & Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, were out driving around

looking for a place for Phil to establish Terrapin Crossroads.

When they came into the parking lot of the Seafood Peddler, which was for sale,

they saw this sign and knew that Phil had found his place.

Thank God!

The Grateful Dead culture is in Drug recovery.

At the Fare Thee Well Grateful Dead tour in Chicago in 2015, the first night I am seated in a section where everyone there was in recovery and all they could talk about were meetings. They weren´t doing drugs. They are standing up for themselves, making better choices for a healthier lifestyle. They take part in meetings with the Grateful Dead Wharf Rats, a support group for Deadheads.

Part of the forthcoming book,

An Intimate Connection with the Grateful Dead

by Uncle John

To follow excerpts, subscribe to DEADPATCH

 is focused on the

Fare Thee Well Grateful Dead tour with a

theme that developed from the audience in each of the five shows.

The first two in San Francisco, the themes are Alcohol and Marijuana.

In Chicago, first night about Recovery, then stories about Psychedelics the second night,

and Cocaine the theme in the final show.

J is a devoted Deadhead. J´s story is different, about his addiction to the cheap and dangerous high from Heroin, his remarkable recovery to become a productive drug-free man, but is still facing health problems, and walls standing from the bridges that he burned. J´s faith became very strong. J is my nephew.

J. says he wants to live in a community, work, be a motivational speaker, and connected with musician Trey Anastasio. Trey belongs to the non-profit National Association of Drug Court Professionals who work within the system to "empower drug-using people to change their lives." J. met Trey at an A.A. meeting in upstate New York and Trey has a positive impact on J.

J. overcame his addiction to heroin before it killed him. Uncle John asks J. about the heroin problem overtaking this generation, and says to J. “I understand why kids are confused. The federal government tells them that heroin is the same as marijuana, same dangerous classification. Look around at the world about us to see that marijuana is a medicine and not lethal, like heroin.” “Yeah, but an eighth of cannabis is about fifty dollars and the cost of getting high with heroin is about five dollars.” J. says explaining the difference.
