Keith on Heroin

“To me, smack is the big deal. That is such a cheeky, cheeky, cheeky little drug. That one can get you right by the tail before you know it, man. It’s a real leveler. I’m a fucking superstar, but when I want the stuff, baby, I’m down on the ground with the rest of them. Your whole lifestyle becomes just waiting for the man and talking to junkies about whether the shit’s good or not–”It’s not as good as the last lot, is it? I’m not going to pay him then.” And guys pulling shooters on you, “Give me your stuff!” and all that. You just become a wreck. Which is kind of disgusting in a way, but at the same time, I can’t say I regret going there.”

– Keith Richards
