Keith Richards laments the declining quality of modern drugs

[CatWoman]

HELLRAISER Keith Richards says he has finally given up drugs — because they don’t give him Satisfaction any more.

The Rolling Stones guitarist complained dealers and chemists have reduced the power of his favourite narcotics.

And he doesn’t like modern drugs like ecstasy because they “mess with the brain”. Former heroin addict Keith, 62, moaned: “I really think the quality’s gone down.

“All they do is try and take the high out of everything.

“I don’t like the way they’re working on the brain area instead of just through the blood system.

“That’s why I don’t take any of them any more.

“And you’re talking to a person who knows his drugs.”

But Keith, currently on world tour with the band, admitted he did ask for extra morphine after he damaged his head when falling off a branch in Fiji in April.

He said: “I don’t take drugs unless I have to under great duress with my brain open. I’ve had a couple of weeks on morphine. I did try to squeeze a little bit extra out of the night nurse. She was very accommodating.”

6. 'squeeze a little bit extra out of the night nurse'. Um,

where exactly does morphine get excreted out of the human body and, more importantly, why didn't I hear of this before? :rofl:

"I wanna new drug"

Methinks a little thing called "tolerance" might be coming into play here, Keith, you numbskull. Yeah, I could see how it might become a problem when you need to shoot up literally a truckload of heroin to get a buzz.

:rofl:
