“Back to the Future” star Christopher Lloyd was addicted to cocaine and alcohol for many years, he divulges in his new memoir.
The 88-year-old actor recalls in “In My Own Time: A Memoir,” published Tuesday, that he did his first “snort” of cocaine outside a comedy club in Los Angeles during the ’70s.
At the time, Lloyd went out to the car of a woman he had just met and “did a couple of lines.”
He writes, “That was all it took. I was hooked almost immediately. I loved it, and that was where my cocaine abuse began.”

Well, we remember the episode of Taxi with the marijuana laced brownies, lol.

Christopher Lloyd was addicted to booze and coke back in the 70s and early 80s? What a shock.
“Lloyd went out to the car of a woman he had just met and “did a couple of lines.”
“He writes, “That was all it took. I was hooked almost immediately. I loved it, and that was where my cocaine abuse began.”
That’s all it takes. Coke is very addictive. Had the almost same experience myself back in the 80s.....couple lines and off you go.
IKR?
About as shocking as Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory coming out of the closet as gay.
Some things are just obvious as hell.
“.couple lines and off you go.”
Like Len Bias.........................
What is so incredible from it that you need more? Energetic? Extreme happiness? Thinking clarity?
The very fact that that’s all it takes it the only thing that kept me away from it. I had plenty of opportunities in that time period and watched several friends go down hard after making the wrong choice. The 70s were rough. The 80s were rougher.
“About as shocking as Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory coming out of the closet as gay.”
Like Barry Manilow and David Copperfield...............
Well, we remember the episode of Taxi with the marijuana laced brownies, lol.
One of Tom Hanks first roles was in that episode.
They were gay? What about Liberace?

About as shocking as Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory coming out of the closet as gay.
You know, for the longest time before he came out, I thought that Parsons just never found that special girl.
It gives a sense of euphoria and energy.
And believe it or not, the stuffs a chick magnet.
And Darryl Strawberry
Or Paul Lynde, Charles Nelson Reilly, Rip Taylor, Jim J. Bullock, or the boy on “Who’s The Boss”.
And Freddy Mercury.....the lead singer of a band named Queen was gay?
Who knew?!
Rob Halford?
I remember how shocked I was to learn the Elton John was gay!.............................NOT!
