Freddie and drugs.

When Freddie started using drugs and when finished?
Was Freddie dependent on them?
What drugs?
Who was the initiator of the fact that he used drugs?

Late 70's - mid 80's

No

Who cares

Does it matter

*despairs*

Freddie was into cocaine. Roger liked it too and developed that hardened party face going into the eighties. They likely had access to the much safer pharmaceutical cocaine made by Merck. Keith Richards talks about that in his autobiography. Around 1974 is when Freddie has ready access to this as he was touring with Mott the Hoople. Around 1980, he would do MDMA in the NYC clubs. Peter Freestone enjoyed getting this along with the Cocaine from a NYC apartment that lived a drug dealer. This is documented in the Freestone book. He quit the cocaine in 1990.

Don’t worry or look down on your hero. If you enjoyed the 1976-1979 UK/USA/Europe tours , Freddie was high and You enjoyed his art.

Drugs are safe if they are pure and you follow the directions. Ask Keith Richards. He only used Pharmaceutical grade. It’s the additives that kill people and mixing it with alcohol.

At LIVE AID, Mick Jagger shared a kilo with Freddie.

Sebastina, where are you to analyze this? Stop watching porno and get to work you tosser.

Dysan, I'm with ya mate. Wtf!

Imagine if Freddie indulged with LSD......

Now those songs would have been SOOO different..... Bicycle race would be more a stripped down logical song like... "I've got a bike with three wheels and a front basket"

But then again.... We would have a band spending the rest of their musical careers writing music about their fallen comrade while fractions within the band tear it apart....

John though.......

Damn the band should have tapped into that while he was on mushhies!!!!!! There would have been some bloddly interesting music!!!!!!

Songs about bikes written on LSD are usually fucking ace:

Actually, Delilah might have been a bit better too:

Cocaine is not safe even under medical supervision you risk getting a stroke or heart attack.

Always got to be one health and wellbeing "professional" to appear from the mist to tell us how bad drugs are.... a little tingly numb feeling in my left side.... but I'm all good..

^dysan.....

I'd give it to youif I could but I borrowed it...

I want to tell you a story
About a man
If I can.....

Imagine what John could have come up with during his stint on the shrooms...
Wish someone have him a pen and paper

Winners don't take drugs. Reminds me of the old Arcsde Machines.
