The Streets Graduates From Crack to GHB

Mike 'The Streets' Skinner returned to his favourite topic of drugs in a cover article for NME this week and revealed that his favourite narcotic these days is GHB.

"It's alright but it's really addictive, it makes you lose your balance like drinking, so it's quite dirty," he said.

"But it's like pills (ecstasy) in the lovey feeling. It's like drinking a Stella (Artois) that's more pilly. I love it."

The UK rapper's controversial endorsement came just two years after he was similarly outspoken in an interview with Q magazine.

"In answer to your question, I have done smack and crack," he confessed.

"But it's not something that I think is very good. Well, crack's good," he quipped.

CAUTION: GHB's dose/response curve is similar to that of alcohol : If you exceed your dose, it is possible to fall unconscious and be temporarily unable to be awakened (coma). It may also dangerously depress breathing. AVOID MIXING WITH ALCOHOL Tags
