according to what I've read....above post is right on
also heard about Slash and qualudes.....the W.A.R. book says Axl did quite a bit of acid in high school
additionally, from my understanding.....Axl DID have a pretty healthy heroin habit himself.....he was just a bit more cautious/strong willed about it....less careless....and from my understanding....that was some time in the mid-late 80's and eventually he just up and quit.....whatever that case really was, the story claims he didn't use for very long at all....maybe a few weeks/months....was never a major problem. I also read....once....that he'd still smoke opium as late the the UI tour.....maybe he still does....a lot of old hippies do.
But...above post is correct, it's pretty clear that Axl isn't very suseptable to addiction. Some people are like that. I'm pretty sure I'm that way......seem to have had a pretty easy time quitting some things over the years.....
never those hard drugs though....my god those guys were nuts
