Heaps of guys I played basketball with used dope, speed, or coke, or other types of uppers used on greyhounds and racehorses. They might have played a couple of good games, if they were the worrying type, or inhibited by fear, or were injured. In the end it was sad. Physically pretty wrecked, but mentally and emotionally much worse. When someone tells you how 'awesome' they are playing...with match stats - 2 points, 0 rebounds, fouled out, 30 scored against them, heaps of errors. Some snapped out of it, and did it hard 'learning' to play straight again, some...truly so sad.
