Haggard started smoking marijuana later in life, around 1978. He continued using it on and off for some years, reportedly quitting in 1995. However, there were indications that he may have resumed later in life. He openly admitted to a brief but intense period of cocaine abuse in 1983. He bought a large amount and spent several months partying on his houseboat. He eventually recognized the destructive nature of his behavior and quit cold turkey.
