Were you heavily into drugs?
Only grass. I went through one period when I smoked a surprising, a really breath-taking, amount of grass almost every night... I just got to the point where I'd be stoned and I'd wish I wasn't. So I quit. Since then, I've used marijuana very sporadically, hardly at all.
