    Gene has a point for sure. With that being said, everything is balance. Nothing wrong with having a drink if you know when to say when and the appropriate time to have a drink. Or, simply don’t ? Even “chasing skirt” as Gene says,.. can be somewhat of a vice or addiction. Everyone has different vices,.. drink, drugs, money, sex, work,. (Yes, I said work) again you have to find your balance. More importantly, hopefully those vices are not hurting the people around you. Family, friends etc..

    If Simmons was a well-rounded guy who is respected by many, then he can tell us about how dumb it is to drink and get high. But his character is not good enough to be giving life advice. Also, chasing skirt also does not give you more money or success and costs money. At least some of us choose to do something that doesn't degrade another person.

    No, but it does help with my severe chronic pain. I was Mr. Holistic guy my whole life and wouldn't even take an aspirin until my late forties. But post-polio syndrome started kicking my ass around that time and I suffer from severe chronic pain to the point that I often just don't feel like living so finally gave up a few years ago and I take a CBD gummy everyday and when things are real bad I take half and oxycodone, but not that often. The CBD makes me high as hell and makes me smile and makes my pain much much better to the point that it almost disappears for 6 ,7 and 8 hours, and that's everything. Makes my life tolerable.

      I agree. I think he's being a little disingenuous when he says he's never been "high." He's only talking about illicit drugs and alcohol. But you can get plenty numb on prescription stuff, and I'm sure he's had those at some point in his life.

      No it's not because the statement doesn't exist and you are in denial about it. No such thing as being " sober". Gene is highly addicted to money and sex. Someone that does not consume,ingest or smoke drugs can be addicted to porn or video games.

      Individual thinking doesn't mean you purposely try to counter what is proven to work, whether financially, morally, culturally, etc. and expect it to be embraced as a legitimate equal or greater option with regards to the results. We already have 13% of the population that does that by default & it's proven to be a national threat..for decades now. Wise up boy.

    I’d be curious to know if he’s ever had a drink in his life because apparently Ted Nugent drinks regularly (in moderation) but he also claims the “never been drunk, never been high” mantra. So there’s some wiggle room there like when Trump says “I’ve never had a glass of alcohol,” well neither have I if you take that statement literally yet I drink all the time.
