Was Neil Young known for using heroin? I was under the impression that weed and some coke were his drugs of choice. He wrote ‘The Needle and The Damage Done’ after Danny Whitten died (althgough I don’t think Whitten used heroin the particular night he died). Anyway, Young was pretty vocal about the dangers of heroin over the years.
I’d always heard the rumors that he did — his music sure sounded like it — but after some research now, you’re right. He didn’t. My error.
