Lol...I could be wrong, but it sounded to me like Deloria meant PRESCRIPTION drugs. Like when you have the flu or something and you take a few too many tylenol and get a little loopy.
Deloria did mean prescription drugs in the form of narcotics because she's experiencing a relapse of juvenile cystic adenomyosis at the moment. Also, your reactions are hilarious. And I've never tried weed, nor been addicted to anything.
*cringe* that sounds awful! Hope you're better soon, Deloria. (and good for you for not being on recreational drugs, too!)
