“I stopped taking drugs [in 1983]. There were a lot of things that led up to it. One thing was that a lover died. An ex of mine died in a car wreck and I was really trashed when I found out about it and I couldn't cry. I woke up the next morning and I said, "That's it," so I quit then. It was horrible.” SaidNextFoundMorningOne ThingCarCryMinesLoversDrugDiedQuittingHorribleExesWrecksI QuitCar Wreck Author:Michael Stipe
“I don't feel drugs should be illegal. I don't think people should take drugs every day, but I don't see any difference with people taking drugs like they drink. Take drugs on Saturday night and go to a party and have a good time and have somebody drive you home or whatever it is so you don't hurt anybody else, that's fine. But if you wake up Monday morning and take 'em again you're a drug addict. But, they should be legal.” PeopleIfsThinkingFeelsShouldHomeNightDifferencesHurtPartyMorningFineDrinkDrugWake UpGood TimesEmsIllegalSaturdayMondayAddictHaving A Good TimeSaturday NightDrug AddictMonday Morning Author:Sonny Barger
“The alcohol was awful. I was a terrible alcoholic. I mean, people used to ask how much drugs I did. I said, 'I only do drugs so I can drink more'. I was doing the coke so I could drink more. I mean, I don't know any other reason. I'd start drinking in the morning. I'd drink all day long.” PeopleKnowsMeanLongSaidI CanReasonUsedAsksMorningTerribleDrinkDrugDrinkingAlcoholAwfulAlcoholicsCokeMean People Author:Dennis Hopper
