Ford, who returned to work this week after a stint in rehab, blamed his woes on using 'every drug you can probably think of.' But he said he never tried heroin, and he never did drugs in City Hall. The mayor is up for re-election in October.
Liquor-loving, crack-smoking Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is blaming his woes on using “every drug you can probably think of.”
Ford, who just this week returned to work after a stint in rehab, admitted Wednesday he dabbled with cocaine, hallucinogenic mushrooms and crack -- the last he still claims he wasn’t addicted to.
But he never tried heroin, he said.
And while Ford said he drank at work, he never did drugs within City Hall.
Ford made the remarks in interviews with the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and CP24, a Toronto-based cable channel.
"I'm taking it one day at a time,” he said. “I did not drink yesterday, I haven't drunk today."
The embattled leader of Canada’s biggest city is now working on a comeback after a two-month stint in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. He’s up for re-election this October.
The mayor’s leadership began to crumble last year after allegations surfaced that he smoked crack, which he finally admitted he might have done during one of his “drunken stupors.”

How did ever have time to be mayor?
Is it possible he is the illegitimate son of Lohan?

Maybe he should switch from crack to marijuana.

I heard that he has been a good mayor, aside from the bizarre behavior. If he cut taxes and improves services I would vote for him.

The only question is which universe....

Hollyweird has got to make a comedy about Ford. If they don’t they’re missing a great opportunity. That McCarthy woman could play Ford.
