Leonard Lee Buschel, one of the Hollywood “most successful retailers in history,” he said that he always had marijuana at him since he first tried it as a teenager.
When he spoke to DailyMail, Buschel said he was so addicted to the drug that he felt as if “suddenly my life passed from black and white to color.”
“I knew I had found a friend for life, an instrument for life, the key to the magical kingdom,” he said.

“Love, Sex or Benjamines”
Leonard Lee Buschel said that soon after his adolescent years his life became one long persecution of “love, sex or benjamin” and thanks to his happiness he worked as a Hollywood trader of drugs.
Buschel said he wasn’t a big seller, but the most successful “because I never caught up”.
“I only produced $ 100,000 a year (equivalent to $ 300,000 today), but at that time it was enough to live and raise a child and send them to a good school,” he said.
He added that his “sick profits are also exempt from tax”. “It was a lot.”
Stars orbit
Buschel’s business brought him to the orbit of the stars and cultural legends of the 70s and 80s, including John Belushi, Richard Pryor and Robert Downey Sr.
According to Dailymail, he dropped out of college to smuggle Lebanese hashish from Israel in his pants and deposited his store in Philadelphia, New York, Florida, La and San Francisco.
He sold drugs to sellers who then sold drugs to some of the most famous characters and legendary drug users, including John Belushi and comedian Richard Pryor.
Belushi died of cocaine overdose and heroin at Chateau Marmont in 1982, at the age of only 33 years, while Pryor allegedly lit, while “free” cocaine. Freebasing is when the user inaches evaporated cocaine for intense, short -term high.
Daily Mail, quoting resources, said Buschel could also give, but not sold, drugs of cultural legends such as Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Tim Hardin, Clarence Clemons, Hugh Masakel and Freddie Hubbard.

Connection Robert Downey JR
Leonard Lee Buschel shared a lifelong friendship with Robert Downey SR until his death in 2021.
Downey SR, who fought with his own addiction, is said to have received his son celebrities on marijuana. JR got his first joint at the age of six of his father.
Robert Downey JR eventually got sober in 2003, after serving a prison for possession of drugs, owned a weapon and managed under the influence.
He also wandered great, almost naked, to the neighboring house, and fainted in the bed of their eleven -year -old son, although the neighbor decided not to tear the accusation.
‘Death Experience’
Like many Hollywood addicts, Leonard Lee Buschel had his share in Run-ins with death. When Buschel remembered two of his closest experience with death, he said he had once made “several rows of not very well covered coke”.
“I kits, broke the blood vessel, and exploded with a projectile bleeding all over her pure white canvas similar to her back … like Jackson Pollock.”
On another occasion, after all -year -old coke and beer, he had a massive catastrophic asthmatic attack.
“I fell against my roommate’s door,” Daily Mail said. “Fortunately, he hadn’t slept because he didn’t take enough Valium. He said I was blue.”
When he regained consciousness, he thought he was blind, but it turned out that his eyelids were closed, because after high doses of adrenaline and morphine, his lid would not naturally close and risk his eyeballs and cracked.
“My throat was in unbearable pain,” he writes. “The nurse just pulled the fan out of the throat after two days I was breathing to keep me alive.”
“That was the lowest of the low,” he says.
Surprisingly, however, it was not enough to clean it.
It was only four days after his release from the hospital, the night of shots and ecstasy later, he decided to go to rehabilitation.
During the month of treatment, after using sweat every day for 26 years and snorted cocaine for 13 years, it was clean and since then has not touched drinks or drugs.
