Substance Abuse

Is it just marijuana? Or is it in the category of cocaine, meth, heroin, pain pills? (very addictive drugs). It seems to be marijuana and alcohol - https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/josh-gordon-admits-he-would-get-drunk-or-do-drugs-before-every-browns-game — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asherkobin (talk • contribs) 08:11, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
