"IS YOUR MIND SO SMALL"

Ozzy Says He Now Believes Pot Leads To Other Addictions (Robert Mancini, 07.08.2003, MTV News)

Ozzy Osbourne may have weathered the lowest lows that drug addiction has to offer, but the news that his son Jack was seeking treatment for substance abuse taught him a lesson that his own decades of addiction never did.

"I used to think they should legalize pot, but you know what? They should ban the lot," Osbourne told MTV News, addressing Jack's battle for the first time. "One thing leads to another. Coffee leads to Red Bull, Red Bull leads to crank.

"When I found out the full depth of him getting into OxyContin, which is like hillbilly heroin, I was shocked and stunned," Osbourne continued. "The thing that's amazing was how rapidly he went from smoking pot to doing hillbilly heroin."

As Ozzie is well aware, it's never too late to repent the error of your ways. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 8, 2003 9:24 AM
