The Black Sabbath rocker, who has struggled with drugs and booze addiction in the past, admits he still takes a bit of marijuana from 'time to time'
The former Black Sabbath singer, 75, says he is also tempted to return to stronger drugs because of health woes. Ozzy, who is struggling with Parkinson’s, neck and back problems, says: “I am happier but I am not completely sober. I use a bit of marijuana from time to time.”
Cannabis is legal in Los Angeles where they live. Speaking on his Madhouse Chronicles podcast, Ozzy also tells how he tried ketamine after being offered the medical sleep drug at a surgery. “If you are out there and you are using dope and you want to get off, there is plenty of help,” he says. “AA is a 12-step programme. It got me sorted out to a certain degree. I do not go to meetings myself anymore. Maybe I should do, I don’t know.”
“They do not make smack light. The thing is for me, that is lighting the fuse. The old saying in the program is one is too many and ten is not enough. That is it in a nutshell. I watched a programme years ago where once a month a guy used heroin to get loaded - I do not understand that. It starts off as a little bit, but I can guarantee at the end of the f***ing night there would be none left.”“I was the king of the world, a rock star and I had the biggest party ever.
