Jon Bon Jovi: I was a drug dealer

Singer tells how he peddled a little cannabis as a teenager

Wednesday, 31 October 2007

Jon Bon Jovi has revealed that he was a drug dealer as a teenager.

The rocker, 45, admits he peddled cannabis in New Jersey before he found fame.

‘I did the drug thing very young and wised up very young too, because I was into drugs a little too much,’ he says.

‘I was entrepreneurial even then, buying quarter pounds of dope and trying to make a couple of bucks.’

But Jon insists his bad experience with drugs turned him off becoming a user.

‘Did you ever smoke dope that was laced with PCP and then have that whole summer of hallucinations? It was f*****g awful,’ he tells the Daily Mirror.

‘That's why I've never been a drug guy. I've always felt I didn't have the mental stability.’
