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'.[/QUOTE]
Yes, I know it's off-topic, but...

It was HEROIN Clapton was addicted to. Cocaine does not create any physical addiction, only mental (like marijuana, or even sex). Elton John mainly (though not exclusively; there was certainly a lot of coke involved) had an alcohol-addiction.

Hard to say anything on this. Since none of us have been there.
But I personally think that if Brian says he never did any, I bet he never did.
There is a myth around that if you are in rock-biz you obviously have to do drugs. Well I'm...and I'm not doing any, Never did, never tried.
Also Steve Harris from Iron Maiden always says he never even smoked a cigarette.
I mean, concerning Queen, they are different than you average rock-band anyways. All of them are educated (maybe a bit more sophisticated) and got famous not SO VERY young. So I guess, they might very well have come off from the turmoil, without using massive amount, if any.
Brian sometime stated that Freddies cocaine abuse was also exxagerated. I guess Freddie was more like a party user.
Brian said, he never did, and somehow you have to believe this guys.
Roger's pot reference is well-known. Might aswell be trough, pot doesn't fit for everybody...like red wine etc. But as he had a reputetion of being a real party-animal, it's hard to believe he never did coke...we are talking about 80's folks. But again....if he says he didn't, again and again, it's kind of stupid not to believe.
John is a mystery.
But one things is easy to see. If you watch any interviews from past or present, you can notice they are not drug-abusers. They act perfectly all right and talk clearly. Make a comparison to Keith Richards....
well that was of course an ultimate axample.

keith and ozzy obviously took things to the extreme.im also in a band and partake in the lifestyle,but its knowing when to do things and when not to.i tend to only do it if its at a party and not just for the sake of it.i imagine freddie was the same,{no proof mind}but his parties tended to last longer than the ones i go to.

cocaine does create physical addiction,and it creater a fucking severe one.cocaine withdrawal is one of the worst in the world for it last for months while stuff like heroin leaves you clean in a week.you can't compare the opiate(heroin) drived withdrawal and stimulant(cocaine) drived withdrawal for they are opposite in effect exepct both leave you with massively ruined dopamine pathways(cocaine being probably like 5 times more potent in inducing atrophy of your dopamine neurons and leaving you feeling like a poor fuck). you don't understand the basic principles of CNS homeostasis so i advise you to get some education on the subject before writing something you heared from idiots trying to ratinalize their cocaine habit influenzed by science on cocaine 50 years old (now abolished,after it was proved that cocaine is one of the MOST addicting drugs)
