According to Daily Snack in a recent interview Keith Richards opened up about his drug past. When asked what was the strangest thing he tried to snort, he had this to say, "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared. It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." His dad died in 2002. That is one of the grossest and sickest things I have ever heard.
Believe it or not that was not his worst drug experience, "It was when someone put strychnine in my dope. It was in Switzerland. I was totally comatose, but I was totally awake. I could listen to everyone, and they were like, 'He's dead, he's dead!', waving their fingers and pushing me about, and I was thinking, 'I'm not dead!'," he recalled. "I've no pretensions about immortality – I'm the same as everyone else – same as you, same as everybody, I'm the same old b*****, just kind of lucky. I was number one on the Who's Likely To Die list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list. Some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral. The obit columns are of quite an interest to me these days. I don't trust doctors. It's not to say there ain't some good ones, but on a general level, no, I wouldn't trust 'em at all."
The King of Drug Use has some advice for his heir Pete Doherty and friend Kate Moss, "My advice for Pete Doherty is that he should shut up and leave her. I don't know the man, all I know is he's pushing his luck and there it is, but so is Kate, who I know very well. Kate wants to play with bad boys, and she's done one, and then another one, and then another one. Badabing, badabang, badaboom. She'll live, the boys will die." When Keith Richards gives you that advice, you should take it. But I think Pete will be around for as long as Keith Richards has been…
