Yeah man. We have people like Cheech & Chong, Willie Nelson or Snoop Dogg who for decades consume Marihuana. Did it destroy their life? Did it destroy their careers? Did it destroy their bodies? Nope! Nothing.

But artists who excessively drink alcohol or consume other drugs? They are wasted within years, broken bodies and souls who need years to get healthy again - if they don't die before.

And then there's Keith Richards...

Yes, but we're talking about humans, not whatever Keith must be.

A lot of people don't realise this but he lives in a mansion and mostly does art every day, he's not living a party lifestyle anymore and hasn't for quite a while - it's just the same equation we've seen time and time again; rich = great healthcare + relaxation = longevity and health. Like how Elon looks younger and healthier than he did 25 years ago, it's just money.
