Looking at the data and at my drug use and evaluating it carefully just let me see that I wasn’t special, but my drug use challenged what I thought about cocaine. Because I would accept when I would say, “What happened to that person?” and someone would say, “They started using cocaine…they went downhill…” I would just accept that, even though I had a different experience and all these other people had a different experience. But I would throw that out because I thought my experience was an aberration.
