Isn't it a bit odd that Queen (being a typical 70's band in the partying sense) has never been linked to "drug scandals"? Or was the drug police too busy busting Keith Richards in the 70's?
BTW I heard John is in rehab now. He's addicted to daffodils.

Oh yes they have!
Little known to others everyone in the band has been taken in at least 6 times for massive drug possesion charges. THAT's the reason they went through so many bass players. All of them kept getting arrested and sent to jail.

...and there are rumors about dwarfs with cocaine-plates on their heads on the Jazz release-party in 1977... (quite a view).
But Brian May says he never done anything...

I meant it 1978, of course...
of course...
I know from a very reliable source that there was (off course) drugs in Queen. We all know the story why there wasn't an official release of Micheal Jackson and Freddie Mercury of State of Shock. Because Micheal found out that Freddie used cocaine during recording sessions and Micheal didn't want have anything to do with drugs. I think that both Roger and Freddie did used cocaine in their lives. John is unknown but he surely could use some before playing if he was that nervous LOL. in case of Brian I do believe that he never used, it's the same with Roger Daltrey who also never used.

Personally I think they were more drinkers than big drug users. It was most likely "dabbled" with in the 70's and of course Freddie's usage in the 80's seemed to be more of a recreational thing than a habit or addiction. They seemed to be far more intelligent than their peers at the time to get hooked on the stuff. Never heard of any of the band in a rehab or detox. They always came across as total pros in their music and their shows and being the bosses of their own business that was Queen. Besides, Queen were leadrs... not followers. They never took after Keith Richards, Brian Jones, John Bonham etc. They were smart enough not to do anything in excess.
Everybody knows that Freddie loved Colombian pixie dust. Apparently he never got as addicted as once Elton John or Eric Clapton were, but he always fancied a good snort.
Roger claims that he once tried pot, but didn't like it. Aside from Freddie he's the once who was the most likely to have tried different things.
Brian, Roger and John were more into the booze. Brian once commented on getting drunk with Aerosmith's Joe Perry back in the old days. Roger once got drunk while attending a Formula 1 race; and John himself was arrested for driving drunk, an incident which inspired the song 'Don't Lose Your Head'.

Other than the odd story or myth, I would venture that Brian may have tried pot, but I can't imagine him having done that more than once or twice and of course he never was much of a drinker after his legendary drinking story with Joe Perry from Aerosmith. Freddie, well known to abhor drugs in the early day's, then of course had a change of heart at some point in time and enjoyed cocaine for a period. I can't see John doing more than probably smoking a little pot way back when. Roger, vocal about not liking pot, would seem to have the type of personality that would make him more likely to indulge in other favors. All of this, of course, is speculation and serves no real point. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go shoot up some...oh wait, am I still typing?
Nah, Freddie was well-known for the odd line of coke. Roger... probably had a try, Brian maybe has had one snort in his whole life and as for John I don't reckon he's touched anything more dangerous than alcohol or nicotine.
However at those parties that Queen hosted you could find anything. It was a case of every single person there having a good time and if ensuring that cocaine and anything else was in good supply meant that everyone had a good time then so be it.

... even though every picture of him in the 70s has that same "I'm so very high" stare.
And explain the afro. Maybe he lost a bet with Freddie?

There is a story that Freddie and Elton John wouldd do lines of coke 'as thick and as long as your grandmother's arm' before Freddie would go on tour.
