We caught Madison at a special time– when her unique interests and popular culture somehow crossed. She just published her first book (https://www.amazon.com/Exile-Ecstasy-Growing-Psychedelic-Underground/dp/1401973531) which chronicles her coming of age at chassidic psychedelic festivals in the Catskills, where she reconciled her past– as a Buddhist Jew growing up with Ram Dass her present as a journalist –and what might be her future as a weird old lady selling artisanal baskets in Tzfat.We discussed psychedelics, the creative process, October 7th, and how bored Madison gets talking about drugs.
