Neither did Ronnie.
Mick Taylor is the only Stone who gained weight.
Well...

Not only the belly. Substantial I mean, and at a younger age.
Write that, then!

I read a circa 1980 interview with Mick that took place on a Sunday afternoon with, I think, Griel Marcus, wherein Mick poured a generous quantity of some powder on the cocktail table, lined it it up and snorted it without offering his guest any. As I recall the interviewer claimed to be relieved he was not asked to partake.
So you speak for everybody now do you ? It's not fun anymore to get high on weed - yes, it's actually better as the quality has increased dramatically with all of the different strains available now versus cheap crap from south of the US border . It's recreational in the same sense as a beer or a glass of wine or a mixed drink . With the different strains commercially available ( remember it has been legalized in many states and countries ) that there are different strains that can help you sleep , eat , or party some more . Nasty headaches ? - really - only the cheap crap from south of the border that wont give you a buzz and thus causes a headache . FYI - did you know that it comes in many different forms ? As in candy , as cannabis oil, as liquid honey for your tea ( that one is pretty nice ) Creams to help you with arthritis and joint pain . So many different forms and strengths . Don't believe me -just Google it and you will be amazed , shocked , scared and every other adjective in the book .Quote

I'm sure most the stones still smoke the weed.
I kind of doubt that. Tons of people wean themselves off of weed when they get older. It's not fun anymore to get high on weed. It's boring, makes you listless, and puts you to sleep. It's just becomes an unwanted fog in your brain. Sometimes it causes really nasty headaches too.
It's certainly not like that when you are 18 though.

Guys, easy easy now... It's a no-no to discuss the use of drugs in personal or general level here.. Only related to the Stones... (well, maybe that 'Keef' is haha)...

24FPS, I don't think it is related being legal or not... If memory serves, there was a thread called 'what you are drinking now' or something to the effect, and it was closed down. But don't shoot the messenger here...

That '94 interview. The reporter, Ed Bradley I believe, asked Mick about drugs. Mick said something to the effect that drugs were bad for him and that he quit. Ed asked him how long it took for him to figure that out. Mick looked at the camera, smiled, and said, "About twenty five years."
I get the feeling he started slowing down to begin with, knowing he couldn't put his body through coke and be good on stage. He also dropped cigarettes at some point. He is often seen with a cigarette in the 80s.
I've felt he was a cautious user. He certainly had Brian and Keith to remind him of where excess leads to. And he was certainly aware of his body, and what its limits were, growing up with a father who was a physical education instructor. I think he got bored with it. You can outgrow certain drugs. Coke gets to be rather pointless, unless you like gnashing your teeth and doing crossword puzzles at dawn.
I had heard of this a-la Willie Nelson and his name brand strain .Quote

My friend's wife works at a nearby dispensary (yes legal in California), and she brought this home for him the other night - pic posted on his facebook page:
KEEF!
Cannabis infused w/10 mg of THC...I bet it makes a mean root beer float - maybe the reason behind Keith's belly!
Evidently it's also available in 50 MG and 100MG medical strength! > KEEF

Ever notice the decline in decent music ever since they supposedly "quit"?
I certainly did. Its probably just a coincidence.

I can't imagine that Jagger took any drugs after 1980 or drank anything but water…

I’m sure Mick has regrets for some past behavior. He is a much different person
today.

Nah, you are the one who said let him snort some lines so you get something you want. Most people would be thankful he is clean so he doesn't drop dead of a heart attack.
