I “dabbled” in Scientology...only because I thought it was weird! I held tin cans and answered questions. I didn’t believe any of it but was curious...my friends and I went to see what it was all about...it’s what young people do.
My vices were drugs and alcohol and they were in my youth. I guessing she was talking about her youth as well.
It certainly wasn’t uncommon for people my age to get into all sorts of weirdness when we were teens and for some that included witchcraft.
One of the whitest kids I knew got into Navaho religious rites for a while.
