Nixon wasn't really considered the president by the youth of America. He was considered to be a fraud and which he proved himself to be.

Danbury wasn't a prison, it was a crime school. I went in with a Bachelor of marijuana, came out with a Doctorate of cocaine.

Basically I was no different than a rock star or a movie star. I was a coke star.

I thought heroin was evil and morally, myself, I thought that pot was okay. That it wasn't a bad thing and so therefore thought I wasn't doing a bad thing. I knew I was breaking the law but I thought that the law was wrong also. So I morally justified what I was doing.

After a while, the cocaine - I didn't have any friends. I was just alone and I didn't even like myself.

I've had so many great experiences in my life, of living total free will, that I wouldn't change it for all the gold in the earth.

The official toxicity limit for humans is between one and one and half grams of cocaine depending on body weight. I was averaging five grams a day, maybe more. I snorted ten grams in ten minutes once. I guess I had a high tolerance.
